REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at Informatica World 2022, the enterprise cloud data management leader announced the launch of a new cloud service, Informatica Data Loader for Google BigQuery, a no cost, zero-code, zero-devops, zero infrastructure required cloud data management SaaS offering that will help departmental users across the organization to move from data to insights in minutes, as opposed to weeks.

Data is the most critical asset as companies strive to stay competitive and drive large-scale transformation in the digital economy. The aspiration to become more data-driven starts with empowering users across all lines of business to become more self-reliant with their data needs. With over 79% of organizations using more than 100 data sources¹, data ingestion and deriving intelligence from your data is the biggest challenge businesses are looking to overcome. Informatica's Data Loader for Google BigQuery is designed to help users beyond IT, make smart business decisions with a simple, no setup, high-speed, no-cost SaaS solution.

"Data is fundamental to digital transformation, and we partner closely with Informatica to make it very easy for enterprises to bring their data from across platforms and environments into the cloud," said Gerrit Kazmaier, Vice President & General Manager at Google Cloud. "The launch of Informatica's new Data Loader will further simplify the path for customers to bring data into BigQuery for analysis, and accelerate their data-driven business transformations."

"Ingesting petabytes of data from hundreds of disparate systems and making sense of all of that data to make the right business decisions is critical to becoming a data-driven organization," said Stewart Bond, Research Director of IDC's Data Integration and Intelligence Software Service. "Anything that can accelerate the time from ingestion to insights should resonate in the market."

The Informatica Data Loader for Google BigQuery will empower customers to:

• Rapidly load data from multiple sources in three easy steps to Google BigQuery with zero setup and no cost.
