Recently, Informatica enhanced its strategic partnership with Google Cloud with broader and deeper connectivity across the Informatica Intelligent Data Platform. Its support for Google Cloud now includes enhanced Google BigQuery support for pushdown optimisation, which allows customers to process large workloads, and new support for Dataproc, which enables customers to leverage and simplify native Google big data environments. Informatica will make its Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS) enterprise iPaaS available on Google Cloud Platform for customers and its Master Data Management (MDM) will be available as a managed service within IICS on Google Cloud.
