What is an intelligent data management cloud platform and why does my organisation need one?

We clear the fog around what an intelligent data management cloud platform is and why it could give your organisation the competitive edge

You may be reading this wondering what an intelligent data management platform is and what benefit it could have for your organisation.

Most organisations use five or more data platforms, leading to disjointed data and missed opportunities, so it’s high time all of your data is located in one place.  

Tobias Rebele, data platform leader at Informatica, joined us for a webinar to talk about why intelligent data management is essential for digital transformation. Take a look at the clip and check out the full webinar via the link at the bottom of the page.

What is a data management cloud platform?

A data management cloud platform, such as the Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform from Informatica, can help your organisation to simplify its data. It does this by taking data from different sources and putting it into one place without duplicating it.

Informatica’s IDMC includes:

  • Data integration
  • API and app integration
  • AI agent engineering
  • Data quality and observability
  • Data governance and privacy
  • Data catalogue
  • Master data management and 360 applications
  • Data marketplace 

All these cloud-native services of the IDMC are supported by Informatica’s CLAIRE, who’s an AI-powered assistant designed to enhance productivity and decision-making within enterprise environments, particularly related to Informatica’s CLAIRE AI engine. As a co-pilot CLAIRE helps users by:

  • Automating data management tasks
  • Providing intelligent recommendations and insights
  • Assisting with data integration, data quality, and governance workflows
  • Offering natural language interactions to simplify complex processes
  • Helping users navigate and leverage cloud and AI technologies more effectively

In addition, CLAIRE GPT is a specialised AI model designed to assist with tasks related to CLAIRE (Cloud, AI, and Real-time Engine) technology or frameworks. It typically helps users by providing information, answering questions, and facilitating tasks around cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and real-time data processing. The specific capabilities can vary depending on the implementation, but generally, CLAIRE GPT aims to support developers, data scientists, and business users in leveraging CLAIRE technology effectively.

CLAIRE’s natural language capabilities allow users to simplify complex operations using conversational prompts and driving business adoption. 

IDMC makes it easier to find data assets and identify their content, their structure and their relationship for a more well-rounded view of the data. What’s more, automated classification will help you to add relevant context to your data and automatically profile the data through scorecards.  

What can it do for my organisation?

Having more organised, clean and reliable data allows your organisation to scale its operations without the problems that come with outdated, inaccessible data such as risks to privacy and compliance.

It also makes life easier for staff trying to access and optimise the right data in order to make important decisions – subject to the relevant employee access permissions, of course. With Informatica’s IDMC, you can automatically find, classify and inventory critical data so that you can more easily access it in future. Features like predictive analytics also allow you to make decisions in the moment by turning unstructured raw data into actionable insights.

Integrating data cleansing, standardisation and address verification, plus pre-built AI-powered rules and low/no code tools, help you deploy and scale-up products much faster and more reliably than before. Continual analysis of your data will pinpoint problems for you to address, too.

All in all, the trust you’ll gain from more robust data management gives you a boost in building brand reputation and retaining customers.
