Cognizant® Cloud Modernization Accelerator – IDQ to CDQ
Posted by: Cognizant
The Cognizant® Cloud Modernization Accelerator – IDQ to CDQ automates the migration of assets and metadata, enhancing Data Quality, from on-premise Informatica IDQ to cloud-based Informatica CDQ. It offers an intuitive interface to move business and technical metadata with minimal manual intervention.
Overview
As organizations increasingly adopt cloud-based solutions, the need to migrate from traditional on-premises IDQ tools to Cloud Data Quality (CDQ) solutions becomes imminent. However, significant differences in design, architecture, and technology between IDQ and CDQ lead to data compatibility issues and transformation complexities. Additionally, metadata migration, asset conversion, and post-migration validation are time-consuming and effort-intensive.
The Cognizant® Cloud Modernization Accelerator – IDQ to CDQ addresses these challenges by automating various operations, including:
- Analyzing current assets and business rules from IDQ.
- Extracting and migrating: Admin configurations to admin services, Profiles to CDP, Assets to CDI and CDQ.
- Validating assets in the target CDQ.
By leveraging these capabilities, organizations can achieve faster go-to-market times with a 20-30% reduction in manual efforts, significant cost savings on infrastructure and maintenance compared to on-premises setups, seamless migration of configurations and metadata across environments, and a scalable solution capable of handling growing data volumes.
Features
The Cognizant® Cloud Modernization Accelerator – IDQ to CDQ is an executable tool that can be run on any on-premises OS platform. It is built on the principle of automation by design, featuring a unified console for developers to manage various use cases through custom utility functions.
Key Features:
- Current State Analyzer: Automates the extraction of on-premises metadata, discovers business rules, and aids in migration planning and design.
- Admin Config Exporter: Extracts admin-related configurations, converts them to an IDMC-readable format, and migrates them to the admin service.
- Profile Exporter: Extracts profile configurations from IDQ, converts them to an IDMC-readable format, and migrates them to CDP.
- Assets Transporter: Extracts assets from IDQ, creates specifications based on the extracted information, and migrates them to CDI/CDQ.
- Validation: Validates the IDQ metadata output against the respective metadata in CDQ to identify any anomalies or misses introduced during migration.
The Cognizant® Cloud Modernization Accelerator – IDQ to CDQ offers numerous benefits, including a 20-30% reduction in manual efforts, reduced complexity, and a seamless experience. This leads to significant cost savings, faster build, test, and deployment cycles, increased operational efficiency, improved business performance, and faster time to market.
