IBM InfoSphere Information Server vs. MetricStream Platform

Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

MetricStream is well suited for when you need to pull a report into Excel for further analysis. It is not good for when information needs to be entered as this is all done manually by analysts and managers. If we can implement a way to take parts of uploaded documents and have the system automatically enter the information in the designated fields in MetricStream, it would cut out lots of manual work for our department.

DataStage is more robust and stable than ODI The ability to perform complex transformations or implement business rules is much more developed in DS

Archer is more risk-management-friendly in that it has a better interface and more room to conduct risk-related tasks and pull reports.

Incentivized

• Productivity of the development of integration processes.
• Better documentation and governance.
• Reduce training costs of various technologies.

• It keeps records of all of our vendors and the corresponding documents.
