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.

Well suited:
  • Handling large amounts of data
  • Complex processes that require high levels of transformation
  • Connections to different data sources
Less appropriate
  • To use it as a workflow for execution of stored procedures
  • For file manipulation

You can use infosphere:
-If you have multiple targets and source systems and they are different than each other.
-If your infostructure is so big and unplaned well so you can't find what you want to see.
-If your databases not so strong to process your data

It can contribute a lot of value to any project that requires data integration either in batch or near real-time mode. You can manage the quality of the data as they are moved from a data source to the various destinations. It also allows managing the metadata of the entire environment and is especially useful to cover the requirements of a data governance program.

Maybe it is not the most appropriate platform to integrate data in real-time mode.

  • IBM InfoSphere is great for large/complex implementations. If your implementation is small, do not bother about using this product due to its complexity and licensing cost.
  • Do you want to see a single view of information across enterprise- use this product.
