Informatica Named as a Leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Metadata Management Solutions

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Informatica^®, the enterprise cloud data management leader, today announced that Gartner, Inc., a leading IT research and advisory firm, has positioned Informatica as a Leader in its 2018 Magic Quadrant for Metadata Management Solutions report. Gartner has positioned Informatica highest on the ability to execute axis for the third consecutive year, and farthest on the completeness of vision axis this year, in this report.

A complimentary copy of the complete report, including the Magic Quadrant graphic, was published on August 9, 2018, and is available at https://www.informatica.com/metadata-management-magic-quadrant.html.

According to the Gartner report, "Data-related demands are constantly increasing within organizations. These range from demands to more easily and flexibly access data, through increased data governance to the hope of being able to quantify the value of data and to sell data. These various expectations of data in a data landscape — ever more complex and distributed — are shifting the focus of organizations from managing data to managing metadata, with the hope that if data is unmanageable, metadata will be easier to tame. These trends, combined with the increased regulatory pressures from the recent go-live of GDPR, create a real market demand for metadata management solutions that will last throughout the next three to five years. While the market opportunity can appear to be extremely large — after all, metadata is everywhere — the success of metadata management as a distinct discipline delivering value to the organizations is not yet a done deal."

At-scale metadata management is foundational to the Informatica Intelligent Data Platform and the metadata-driven, CLAIRE™ engine. Informatica's industry-leading metadata management innovations enable business and IT users to leverage enterprise-wide data discovery, end-to-end data governance, data privacy and protection, and  business context and full lineage through enterprise data cataloging to deliver a comprehensive and unified view of metadata in on-premises, multi-cloud, or hybrid environments.
