Singapore's second largest info-communication company, StarHub, has selected enterprise data integration software and services company Informatica’s PowerCenter 8 Advanced Edition to enhance and advance data integration throughout its business.

Informatica PowerCenter is a single, unified enterprise data integration platform that allows companies and government organisations of all sizes to access, discover, and integrate data from virtually any business system, in any format, and deliver that data throughout the enterprise at any speed.

Using Informatica, organisations can increase their access to data and therefore derive higher levels of business value from all their data so that they can reduce IT costs and complexity, streamline business operations and processes and drive revenue growth.

Prior to implementing Informatica’s Integration Competency Center (ICC), which helped StarHub smooth transition to Informatica PowerCenter, StarHub’s data integration and data warehouses projects were carried out in silos.

The implementation of StarHub’s Integration Competency Center, based on Informatica PowerCenter, optimises the company’s data integration effort and creates best practices, processes and expertise so that StarHub could effectively leverage existing infrastructure while maximising the data integration technology across all the businesses.

James Woo, Head – Information Services, StarHub, said Informatica PowerCenter has significantly broadened the definition of an enterprise data integration platform. “For StarHub, defining and implementing standards for Enterprise Data Integration is imperative as many of our projects require data integration. Informatica PowerCenter would be able to provide us with better yield productivity, automation and cost savings benefits.”

By using Informatica's data integration platform to provide a holistic view of all its enterprise information - even data residing in complex mainframes - StarHub can align their businesses and IT needs more effectively to achieve their corporate goals.
