InfoSphere Information Server 8.7 helps deliver trusted data

Trusted information is essential to creating strong business results. Delivering that trusted information requires strong collaboration between IT and business using a unified platform. Ultimately, you must ensure that your business’s information is trusted, accessible, authoritative, consistent, timely, and in the correct context for analysis and reporting.

We recently released InfoSphere Information Server 8.7 to help organizations dealing with - or interested in dealing with - information integration. InfoSphere Information Server helps businesses understand, cleanse, transform, and deliver trusted information for critical business initiatives. The platform provides data governance, quality, transformation and delivery capabilities so that information can be consistently defined, fully understood, accurately represented, reliably transformed, and continually updated.

InfoSphere Information Server 8.7 has new capabilities that provide a more comprehensive integration and governance platform. This release also helps business and IT professionals collaborate better and turn insight into action by:

Leveraging comprehensive information governance capabilities to establish smarter, more sustainable governance practices, including enriched data quality capabilities. Improved automation, new streamlined workflows when managing business terms through review and approval processes, and holistic and personalized views of business terms, data models, assets, data flows and their relationships all help users work smarter.

Enhancing productivity for users and organizations by taking advantage of new operational intelligence capabilities, smart management of metadata, and new parallel debugging capabilities that enhance developer productivity when working with partitioned data.

Harnessing the power of new and stronger integration for greater asset reuse for increased efficiency. Promote collaboration and streamline the process of delivering enterprise business solutions through tight and deep metadata integration with key systems to take advantage of new opportunities.

Using big data support to successfully address the most challenging data volumes. Some organizations are just starting to think about tackling big data, while others are already adopting big data tooling to address the most challenging data volumes in their business. As part of this release, InfoSphere Information Server 8.7 will support big data and Apache Hadoop, enabling you to take the results of big data analysis and leverage them across the enterprise.

Read our new white paper or visit the InfoSphere Information Server 8.7 page to start meeting these challenges head-on and really trust your data. You can also access more technical details.
