Built for the Hybrid Enterprise

management that allows SaaS application administrators, architects and developers to
easily power optimal processes connected with enterprise‐ready data across cloud, on‐
premises, big data, social and mobile environments.”
14. Salesforce.com Integration
Case Example
Situation
Perficient acquired two major SFDC consulting companies. Each company had it’s own SFDC
system for managing their customer information. Once these two companies became part of
Perficient, it was important to be able to see all customers within one SFDC environment.
Perficient used the Informatica cloud solution to quickly and easily connect to each sales force
environments and integrate the data into one sales force environment.
Results
Quick installation of cloud solution
Easily connected to SFDC data with the provided connector
Migration of data to a single SFDC environment took place in days rather than months
Lessons Learned & Benefits
No special coding to integrate data
Duplicate data was quickly identified and consolidated
Integration was seamless to the company with no down time of business impact
16. Retail Case Example
Situation
Retail company owns and operates approximately 80 retail stores across the state. Each retail store produces
daily cash register data about each transaction. This NCR cash register data was only being captured at the
summary level and was not useful for the detailed analysis that was needed. The company needed a better
solution that would capture detail NCR cash register data and integrate it into a centralized data warehouse.
Results
Perficient developed a data integration solution that captured the detailed cash register data from each store
every 15 minutes.
This data was consolidated and pushed to an Amazon Redshift data warehouse using Informatica Cloud as the
data integration solution.
By using the Informatica NCR XML connector and the Amazon Redshift connector, this solution needed very
little specialized coding and could be implemented in weeks rather than months.
Technology that was used: Informatica Cloud, NCR XML connector, Amazon Redshift and the Amazon Redshift
connector.
Lessons Learned & Benefits
Quick implementation of a robust and comprehensive massive parallel processing data warehouse solution
Low cost solution by utilizing both Informatica Cloud and Amazon Redshift
Improved analytics capability for near real time transaction data
High performance and reliable solution that is flexible and adaptable to their changing needs.
