Lancet Joins Informatica INFORM Channel Partner Program

Bangalore: Lancet, a provider of Business Intelligence (BI) strategy, design, analysis and implementation services, has joined the Informatica INFORM Channel Program, which allows Lancet to provide its clients the Informatica Platform, including access to Informatica MDM (master data management), Informatica Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) test data management software and Informatica data integration.

With the Informatica Platform, Lancet is now a full-service BI solution provider. The company now provides data integration services for “back-end” data extraction, transformation and loading, alongside the BI/analytics previously offered to help clients intelligently convert raw data into usable information.Lancet currently provides a similar suite of “front-end” data analytics, administration and development through the MicroStrategy platform, which provides clients with powerful, user-friendly analytics to support organizational decision-making.

Data integration is a process through which organizations take data from disparate, incompatible systems, cleanse it, apply business rules and quality checks to it, and load it into one or more target environments for distribution and access to the business for analytics and reporting. Data integration is critical to making business data actionable. Without a data integration system, the process of reviewing, cleansing, normalizing and loading data into a data warehouse is slow and tedious.

“As a global provider of data integration solutions, Informatica seeks strong partnerships that extend our capabilities as well as our presence across particular geographic regions globally,” said Mike Harding, senior director, Alliances, Informatica.

“Having a best-of-breed data integration partner such as Informatica is important for our clients,” said Thomas Niccum, Lancet’s co-founder and president. “The superior data integration that we can now provide will lay a much stronger foundation for our clients’ success. We’re already aligned with a leading independent front-end partner in MicroStrategy and Informatica now serves as a strong partner on the back-end. It just makes sense for everyone involved.”
