About the Customer
Our customer is a global leader in digital transformation, consulting, and business re-engineering. The company’s portfolio spans IT services, SAP and Oracle consulting, digital supply chain, infrastructure management, and integrated engineering solutions, as well as cutting-edge technologies like cloud computing, AI/ML, cybersecurity, data analytics, and IoT. Constantly focused on innovation and operational efficiency, they sought a modern data integration environment to support its evolving business needs.
Business Challenges
As their data demands expanded, their on-premises Informatica PowerCenter environment grew increasingly cumbersome. The legacy environment, while stable, required substantial manual effort and lacked the agility necessary to support rapid changes, new data sources, and advanced analytics. To maintain a competitive edge, they needed a scalable, cloud-native platform that could accelerate decision-making, reduce maintenance overhead, and rapidly adapt to emerging technologies. Faced with these growing demands, they recognized the need for a modern, cloud-native platform to streamline data integration and drive more informed, timely decisions.
PDI Solution
Recognizing these needs, Leading Technology Company partnered with Pacific Data Integrators (PDI) and Informatica to modernize its data integration landscape. PDI applied a proven methodology and deep platform expertise. PDI distinguished itself not only by preserving their existing business logic but also by delivering the modernization engagement on schedule and on budget, reducing risk and complexity. This joint effort allowed them to better meet user expectations, rapidly respond to market shifts, and stay ahead of industry trends.
