Informatica, an enterprise cloud data management leader, announced an on-premises data warehouse and ETL-to-cloud modernisation program in partnership with Snowflake. As part of Informatica’s cloud data warehouse modernisation program for PowerCenter customers, Informatica is now enabling PowerCenter customers to accelerate the modernisation of on-premises data warehouse and ETL deployments to a completely cloud-native approach approximately 12x faster than before and with up to 6x reduction in the total cost of ownership (TCO).
“Data analytics is the holy grail of digital transformation and to gain intelligence from your data it is imperative that companies modernise their data stack to a cloud-native platform,” said Christian Kleinerman, SVP of Product, Snowflake. “With this newly announced program, Informatica customers can rapidly accelerate their migration to the Snowflake Data Cloud to accelerate their digital transformations.”
