REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 07, 2012 -
Informatica Corporation (Nasdaq:INFA), the world's number
one independent provider of
data integration software, today announced that
Deloitte is the winner of the Informatica Marketplace
Innovation Drive contest held last month, recognizing the
most original solutions available on the Informatica
Marketplace. The ground-breaking Deloitte
Social Business Intelligence Framework leverages the Informatica
Platform to support sentiment analysis on social media
data, enabling organizations to better understand and
enhance the customer experience.
The Deloitte Social Business Intelligence Framework is
aimed at helping customers capitalize on opportunities
presented by today's explosion of
big interaction data. The framework uses Informatica
technologies, including
Informatica PowerExchange for Social Data, to extract
data from social media sites, help improve its quality,
categorize it, and convert it to a structured form for
analytic processing. Users can employ the framework to
define industry-specific dimensions and key performance
indicators (KPIs) that are visualized through dashboards,
widgets and reports to drive sentiment and brand analysis,
performance benchmarking, identification of market trends
and opportunities, and increased customer loyalty. The
Deloitte framework is available for demo
on the Informatica Marketplace.
Marketplace Innovation Drive runner-up winners are Profinit
PLC for its PSAT
Informatica Checker solution that enables
Informatica PowerCenter users to validate their
workflows and mappings, and Silwood Technology Limited for
its Saphir
Metadata Discovery for SAP offering that delivers ERP
metadata intelligence.
"The winning solutions represent leading-edge products that
have been built to help organizations address important use
cases and business opportunities using Informatica
technology," said Scott Geffre, senior director, Cloud
Business Operations and Marketplace, Informatica.
"Combining innovation and relevance, they are indicative of
how our Marketplace ecosystem is helping customers be more
effective and achieve the desired results in their use of
Informatica to improve return on
data."
"It is an honor to have our Deloitte
Social Business Intelligence Framework recognized in
the field of high-quality resources that comprise the
Informatica Marketplace," said Rich Penkoski, principal,
Deloitte Consulting LLP and national service line leader
for the Information Management practice. "Big data is the
next frontier for innovation, and Deloitte is committed to
creating inventive approaches to help our clients use big
data to achieve their business goals."
