Description
Technical support for Informatica’s on-prem ETL product PowerCenter will expire on May 31, 2026 according to current information. Informatica is offering a new cloud-native solution, ‘Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services’ (IICS), which will provide many new functionalities. This means that companies using PowerCenter will have to prepare for the migration to IICS or another ETL tool in the coming years.
In this webinar, we will give you a comprehensive overview of the new functionalities of IICS by presenting a detailed technical comparison between IICS and PowerCenter. We will also discuss the migration path offered by Informatica and give you a brief insight into the license model and the expected costs.
