Exponential leap forward in accelerating regulatory compliance efforts for the era of GDPR

Informatica Compliance Data Lake is a new, end-to-end data lake management solution architecture that empowers compliance analysts to rapidly build comprehensive and trusted compliance reports. This is especially important now with regulations such as the European Union’s GDPR, which becomes effective in May 2018, and could have significant impact for organisations and how they manage data pertaining to customers, partners, and other sensitive data entities. Built on Informatica Intelligent Data Lake®, Informatica Big Data Management®, Informatica Enterprise Information Catalogue and other Informatica technologies, the Compliance Data Lake powers a comprehensive view of previously inaccessible compliance-related data from email, social media, instant messages, financial transactions and other non-traditional sources. This provides more accurate compliance analytics and reporting to ensure and prove adherence to critical regulations, such as GDPR.

Organisations can accelerate their regulatory compliance through rapid intelligent data discovery, optimised data processing, support for collaborative and efficient human workflows, and easy self-service data preparation with AI and machine learning-assisted automation and governance. Informatica delivers pre-built connectors and parsers to collect, process, and deliver a variety of application and user data including unstructured data such as emails and chats of ever increasing volume, and can deploy the solution in the cloud or on-premises. By enabling all types of compliance-related data to be ingested and processed in one place, a compliance data lake dramatically improves analytics necessary to support compliance reporting.With the recent release of 10.2, Informatica Enterprise Information Catalogue is now integrated with Informatica Axon™ which powers the industry’s first enterprise data governance solution. This increases business and IT’s ability to collaborate to define, implement, and track outcomes including those related to regulatory compliance.

Industry’s only intelligent data catalogue now integrates with Hortonworks Atlas

With 10.2, Informatica delivers the industry’s leading AI- and metadata-driven data catalogue for discovering, understanding, and managing all enterprise data wherever it resides, with one-click rapid deployments on Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. Powered by CLAIRE, Informatica Enterprise Information Catalogue can discover and catalogue all types of data and data relationships across the enterprise, including both structured and unstructured data. Informatica Enterprise Information Catalogue is the most comprehensive and intelligent enterprise data cataloguing and discovery solution to support Apache Atlas, Hortonworks’ open-source big data governance framework. The integration of Enterprise Information Catalogue and Atlas enables data professionals to get complete end-to-end visibility and lineage for all enterprise data outside of Hadoop and inside Hadoop-based data lakes.

Industry’s first end-to-end data lake management solution in the cloud to support Cloudera Altus

As a leading solution for data integration on data lakes in the cloud, Informatica Big Data Management will support Cloudera Altus, Cloudera’s Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering that speeds the creation and operation of elastic data pipelines for data lakes in the cloud. Together, Informatica and Cloudera provide the power of Informatica’s advanced and extensive data transformations with the simplicity of Cloudera’s PaaS for an end-to-end data lake management solution in the cloud. Informatica has reimagined big data and data lake management with the recent release of 10.2, managing all types of data at all latencies, including real-time streaming, for all types of users, at scale – while executing on-the-fly advanced data transformations and data quality rules using collaborative visualisations and governed self-service data preparation tools.
