Informatica Day – Johannesburg, 21 October

Informatica Day – Johannesburg is a half day event that brings together the Data Community’s brightest minds to push the boundaries of current thinking and discuss the role of data in the real-time digital enterprise of the future.

The agenda will be based on the most popular sessions from the recent Informatica World event held in Las Vegas – with additional sessions that focus on POPI – a key priority in the South African market.

Industry experts will present Informatica’s vision for the new data-centric world, and discuss the innovations that will take the concept of a data platform to an entirely new level. You will learn:

How the Intelligent Data Platform unleashes a new level of data-driven business potential by making data self-organising, secure, trusted and more easily consumed by people, applications, devices and things.
How the Project Springbok data harmonisation solution empowers non-technical users to find, assemble, combine, improve and share data sets – resulting in clean, safe and connected data that is decision-quality.
How Secure@Source™ is a fundamentally new way of looking at security – with the data-centric approach giving companies the ability to discover, protect, and detect sensitive data across the enterprise.
How Informatica MDM 10 makes it even easier for business users to gain a 360 degree view of critical business entities including customers, suppliers, products and assets.
