Cognizant© Cloud Modernization Accelerator for Informatica
Posted by: Cognizant
The Cognizant© Cloud Modernization Accelerator for Informatica is a solution accelerator for automating the migration of assets and Metadata from On Premise Informatica Axon/EDC tool to Informatica CDGC platform. It provides a simple and intuitive interface with options to perform the operations to move Business and Technical metadata assets from Axon/EDC to CDGC with minimal manual intervention.
Overview
A large number of customers are looking to migrate their on-premise Axon/EDC** systems to the CDGC cloud but are deterred by the challenges involved. The differences in design, technology, and operations between on-premise and cloud systems are considerable. Compounding the issue, most data catalog systems are re-engineered, making automatic metadata migration from Axon to CDGC challenging. Additionally, the migration process involves multiple complex steps, prompting the need for a reusable custom accelerator to streamline the transition from Axon/EDC to CDGC.
The Cognizant© Cloud Modernization Accelerator for Informatica addresses these challenges by automating various operations such as configuration, asset extraction from on-premise platforms, gap assessments, facet mapping between Axon/EDC and CDGC, and transformation into CDGC formats. It also facilitates migration, uploads, and validation through a suite of utility functions.
By leveraging these capabilities, organizations can achieve faster go-to-market with 40-60% reduction in manual efforts, significant cost savings via elimination of additional tools such as for data preparation, data loading, export, or faster development & deployments, improved quality of delivery by eliminating manual errors through automation and seamless migration of configuration and data across environments.
** Note: For EDC On Prem only Connections are enabled for migration to CDGC
