Informatica will further
strengthen its deep collaboration with Microsoft through seamless
integration of its cloud-native, generative AI-powered Intelligent Data
Management Cloud (IDMC) with Microsoft Fabric, the next generation data
and analytics platform announced at Microsoft Build 2023. Existing and
potential IDMC customers can enroll in private preview with access available starting June 2023.
Informatica
is one of the first ISV design partners for Microsoft Fabric and brings
Azure customers access to IDMC's comprehensive suite of capabilities as
a first-party service. The integration allows Azure customers to have:
- Seamless
integration with Informatica's Data Quality solution to identify and
provide high quality, trusted data within Microsoft Fabric's OneLake
using custom data quality rules developed using natural language
processing.
- Data
Democratization for all users to rapidly discover, identify and gain
access to trusted, reliable, quality data through Informatica's Cloud
Data Marketplace
- Data integration from 200-plus sources into the open and governed OneLake Delta Parquet format
"For
the last 18 months, we've worked closely with our partners at Microsoft
to develop the seamless integrations between IDMC and Fabric, and we
are excited to be one of the first ISV design partners for Microsoft
Fabric," said Jitesh Ghai, Chief Product Officer at Informatica. "The
Informatica IDMC-Microsoft Fabric integration offers frictionless
delivery of our trusted data management capabilities and provides Azure
customers confidence that their data is of the highest quality to power
their tier-one business objectives."
IDMC already enjoys a seamless integration with Azure portal and Marketplace, with the platform announced as an Azure Native ISV Service earlier this month at Informatica World, Informatica's annual customer conference. Additionally, Informatica's Cloud Data Governance and Catalog was also launched natively on Azure, with the pair of innovations providing Azure customers a more unified experience and trusted data capabilities.
"It
was an easy decision to work with Informatica as a design partner and
find a way to harness the power and performance of Informatica's
Intelligent Data Management Cloud on Azure into the Microsoft Fabric
experience," said Arun Ulagaratchagan, Corporate Vice President, Azure Data at Microsoft. "Now,
Fabric customers around the world can leverage Informatica to help to
build a trusted data foundation for all their AI and analytics
workloads."
