Bytes Universal Systems (BUS), a division of Bytes Technology Group, has announced its partnership with Informatica Corporation, the world’s number one independent provider of data integration software.
Through its partnership with Informatica, BUS will enable organisations to make better business decisions by recognising the potential of big data to transform their business.
Whether it is improving customer retention and acquisition, increasing operational efficiencies, enabling better product and service delivery, or generating new business insights, Informatica’s data integration software will enable BUS’s customers to accelerate business growth, minimise risk, and empower themselves by making more data-driven decisions.
BUS has expanded its product portfolio to offer Informatica data integration solutions to help organisations unleash their information potential.
Informatica solutions, which have earned leadership positions in Gartner Magic Quadrants for data integration, data quality, master data management and data archiving & applications retirement, will enable BUS’ customers achieve their business imperatives and reduce IT costs, through the sourcing of clean, safe, relevant and connected data. Some of these key business imperatives include:
* Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures;
* Governance, risk and compliance;
* Improved decisions through targeted sales; and
* Improved IT efficiencies and reduced costs.
The partnership will unlock significant benefits for BUS customers, who will now be in a position to avoid the pitfalls of poor data management such as data duplication, unrefined data and the monitoring of metrics, together with the associated financial risk implications of poor data security.
Specific customer benefits include:
* Faster and easier data management – software can be used to match, group and master records faster
* Improved data stewardship – timely matching the service to automatically route records that meet specified criteria for more effective and efficient distribution of information
* Maximised productivity – eliminating data quality issues and duplicated challenges at the entry point will dramatically enhance data quality, decrease data management processing time, improve decision making and drive lower total cost of ownership.
“Today, organisations are challenged to get the most out of their data and realise their full information potential,” says Eric Kroon, senior director, EMEA Alliances at Informatica.
“Bytes Universal Systems will play a key role in growing our customer base and expanding our business to strengthen Informatica’s presence in South Africa.”
According to Hendrik Blignaut, executive, Enterprise Intelligence Solutions (EIS) at BUS, the partnership with Informatica represents a tremendous opportunity for BUS customers to leverage Informatica’s strengths in extracting tailored, relevant data for their customers.
“BUS is already established as a leading partner of Informatica in sub-Saharan Africa in the field of data analytics and services. However, with the new, comprehensive partnership, BUS can offer a varied service proposition for our clients, some of which include Absa, Standard Bank, Vodacom and South African Airways,” says Blignaut.
“Informatica is the undisputed global leader in data management. It is a tremendous credit to BUS that they have chosen to partner with us. They have recognised BUS, and by extension, Bytes Technology Group, as South Africa’s premier IT and converged solutions provider, and we are proud of this,” Blignaut concluded.
Informatica’s innovative data integration software platform — combined with the deep industry knowledge, extensive systems integration and services expertise, specialised solutions and proven capabilities of its robust partner ecosystem — enables companies to access, integrate and trust their information assets, and receive maximum value from their investment.
