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 a database to a third-party cloud service on a nightly basis.
  • Processing changes from an API (e.g. 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.

Using iPaaS to inter-connect different types of systems, that communicate using different protocols or data formats.
