+# Informatica Integration Cloud Services
+Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS) is a platform that enables data integration between systems and 
+applications, including on-premise-to-cloud, cloud-to-cloud, and cloud-to-on-premise.  IICS belongs to a class of 
+products called “Integration Platform as a Service” (iPaaS).
+
+Here are some examples of where IICS can be used:
+* Syncing data from PersonHub to a third-party cloud service on a nightly basis.
+* Processing changes from CAOS in real time to update an on-premises system.
+* Extracting data from a third-party cloud service to populate a reporting database.
+
+The platform caters to a diverse technical audience including those who may have very little integration experience and 
+to those who have advanced development and integration skills.
+
+## Benefits
+* Create integrations that move data in real time or on a scheduled basis.
+* Pre-built connectors enable reusable integrations to a variety of other services (e.g. Salesforce, Oracle, AWS S3).
+* Allows integration of on-premises systems, databases, and cloud-based software as a service (SaaS).
+* Design and implement integrations in a web browser using no-code and low-code tools. 
+* Run integrations in the cloud or deploy them to your own infrastructure.
+
+The below diagram visualizes some of the iPaaS (IICS) capabilities.
