Before using PowerCenter and PowerExchange to integrate data from its mainframe systems into a data warehouse, Thames Water Utilities used a time-consuming combination of maps, the knowledge of its personnel and a host of independent legacy systems to determine infrastructure maintenance priorities. The Informatica platform now provides the company with access to all of its critical enterprise data systems - including mainframes, midrange relational databases and file-based systems.
