Our Customer is a leading health and wellness company known for producing high-quality vitamins, minerals, and supplements. With a commitment to innovation and rigorous quality standards, they focuses on enhancing health and wellness experiences for consumers worldwide.
Customer Challenges
Our Customer faced significant data management and integration challenges that hindered their operational efficiency and decision-making. They struggled with complex SAP data ingestion processes, encountering difficulties in synchronizing large datasets while maintaining data quality. Integrating SAP and SAP Concur data through Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) led to issues reconciling operational data within a single framework, resulting in information silos.
The lack of near real-time data integration caused latency and reduced visibility into business operations, impeding quick, data-driven decisions. Additionally, knowledge gaps due to insufficient documentation and training on IDMC limited their internal teams' ability to manage and evolve their data integration solutions effectively. These challenges collectively hampered their capacity to optimize data management and achieve their business objectives.
PDI Solution
PDI provided a comprehensive consulting solution that enabled customer to effectively leverage Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) to meet their business objectives. They simplified and standardized SAP data ingestion by introducing intuitive workflows for incremental and complete data loads, automating processes to reduce manual interventions and errors. PDI integrated SAP and SAP Concur data through REST API connectivity, eliminating data silos and providing a unified view of operational information for better decision-making.
They empowered internal teams with user-friendly documentation and hands-on training on best practices, dynamic mapping, parameterization, and automation within IDMC, ensuring staff could confidently operate and evolve the solution. Additionally, PDI assessed the IDMC environment, recommending improvements aligned with best practices for scalability and performance, and provided ongoing support to minimize disruptions through proactive issue resolution.
