Business process outsourcing, information technology outsourcing, and software as a service (SaaS) are changing how your company invests in technology to automate its critical business processes. These technologies offer tremendous benefits, including unprecedented time to value, lower IT management costs, and enhanced flexibility and scalability.
But when your company outsources business functions to an external service provider, critical data ends up residing both inside and outside corporate firewalls.
To give the business a holistic, consistent, and accurate picture of its strategic data assets, you need to integrate the data residing in your outsourced applications with the data in your on-premise business systems, such as ERP applications and databases.
You need a cross-enterprise solution to integrate data across the Internet using Web services standards. Informatica can help.
