Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud’s (IDMC) Data Quality as a native-workload on Microsoft Fabric
As one of the first ISV design partners for Microsoft Fabric, Informatica’s IDMC will offer rich data management capabilities to Microsoft Fabric users as a native application on the next-generation data analytics platform. This means IDMC capabilities will be directly embedded and available as a unified experience within Microsoft Fabric. Customers will be able to discover and use key data management solutions – specifically data profiling, quality, observability, and integration capabilities – to build trusted data to power Fabric analytics workloads. IDMC, as a native application on Fabric, is expected to be generally available in the first half of 2024.
Additionally, Informatica has also built high-scale, high-performance IDMC connectors for Fabric OneLake, Lakehouse and DataWarehouse to serve customers’ analytics use cases. These connectors allow more seamless data ingestion to build a trusted, single source of truth, support delta parquet and SQL endpoints and drive real-time analytics within the Fabric platform.
“Access to high quality, trusted and mastered data is vital for the delivery of world-class experience for our patients,” said Joe Nguyen, System VP of Data and Analytics, SSM Health. “Informatica’s Claire AI engine will allow us to get a better understanding of the quality of the data in our platform and answer more intelligent questions with trust and confidence. The innovations of Informatica and Microsoft together enables SSM Health to derive unique insights and helps us to create long term value for our Mission to provide high-quality care to our patients.”
