    IBM
    We have built a database of a network of bank branches with all the needs of security and recovery/restart. It requires knowledge of obsolete maintenance languages and perhaps it is too rigid in the schemes.

    We use it a lot for importing data. We transform the incoming data to match the formatting of our CRM. We also match on existing records to avoid creating duplicates. Informatica handles all of this exceptionally well. Our users are system administrators. The tool is not well-suited for users who do not have a technical background

    There is a learning curve with Informatica. It is not always intuitive to use. It is best suited for technical users such as system administrators

    Essentially, for a question of reliability and scalability, the performance has always been of an enterprise level. The utilities are efficient and effective.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • The investment made about 20 years ago that has been fully repaid
    • Reliability and security of investments
    • Unfortunately, it is quite outdated and therefore maintenance costs are higher because the skills are not always available.
