IBM InfoSphere Information Server vs. Verdantis MDM Suite

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.

1. If you're a company that's into ops with heavy operations like mining, energy, manufacturing - it's particularly helpful 2. If you're facing challenges with your MRO data that's causing issues like downtime, high procurement costs etc - it's an ideal solution

• IIS best for ETL ,not ELT , and many and diffrent source systems.
• It also can process big data , unstuctured data
• It is not only DWH , you can use infosphere for analys and see the bigger architecture of your OLTP systems

Incentivized

• It is trained on data that is specific to a handful of industries so the accuracy rates of corrected master data records are huge
• It has built-in data enrichment - that solves for missing data issues
• We face a lot of duplication related issues and this solves for that quite easily

• I would be nice to have a new web development environment for DataStage.
• Connectivity Packs such as Pack for SAP Application are a little pricey.
• It is confusing for new developers the possibility of developing jobs using different execution engines such as Parallel or Server.

Incentivized

• UI can be improved and made more intuitive
• Native integration with Infor would be a +
• Would love to see a product that also manages inventory and work orders - this is a natural succession to its current capabilities but is missing in the software so far

• Scale of implementation
• IBM techsupport

Great usability

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

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

• Halved the need for holding mro inventory
• Great for integrating data across. Mro domains
• Not ideal for customer or marketing domains
