Classification: White Paper
Informatica offers four sets of products. Three of these: the company’s Data Integration Platform, which consists of Informatica PowerCenter and its associated products; the Informatica Warehouse, which is a ‘packaged’ data warehouse solution that makes use of the Data Integration Platform; and Informatica PowerAnalyzer, which is a front-end Business Intelligence platform; are all what we might think of as infrastructure products. The fourth set of products, on the other hand, is the Informatica Applications suite, which provides business analytics in a variety of areas, while leveraging the infrastructural capabilities of Informatica’s other products.
