    --  Updates to Informatica Cloud Native Data Management Solution for Cloud
        Data Warehouses, Data Lakes, and Lakehouses

Updates to Informatica's Cloud Native Data Management Solution for Cloud Data Warehouses, Data Lakes, and Lakehouses deliver high availability and upgrade management enhancements for business continuity to avoid downtime from scheduled events and upgrades without job interruption, including:

-- Support for serverless computing, intelligent pushdown processing, auto-tuning and auto-scaling, as well as a heatmap for integration jobs for optimizing performance, resources, and schedules. -- End-to-end support for DataOps and MLOps, including enhanced support for schema drift, data quality transformations and deduplication, blockchain and image transformations, data pipeline and data prep recipe recommendations, similarity-based pipeline categorization, and streaming data lineage. -- Enhanced cloud ecosystem support, including for Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Snowflake, and Databricks.

These updates will empower organizations to build lakehouses in the cloud by merging data warehouses and data lakes into one platform, combining technologies for business analytics and decision-making with those for exploratory analytics and data science. Compared to on-premises data warehouses and data lakes, this modern approach offers more flexibility and agility at a lower cost.

    --  Updates to Informatica's Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS)
        --  With this release, Informatica supports application and data
            continuity with blue-green execution, continued job execution when
            workers change, and AI-powered operational insights with abilities
            such as preventive actions based on alerts for application and data
            integration.
        --  Informatica's next gen iPaaS enables teams to build resilient and
            reliable integrations while providing 24/7 operations with global
            availability on AWS, Azure & GCP. No-code development tools empower
            application experts to build composable APIs and services and expose
            these in the API portal for easy consumption. Additionally, it
            offers the ability to integrate with corporate GitHub
            version-control tooling and provides controlled deployment and
            codeline management.
        --  Informatica delivers more AI/machine learning-powered capabilities
            to automate data and application integration tasks with design-time
            recommendations, runtime autoscaling, easy-to-build ingestion
            processes, data quality rule recommendations for profiles and PII
            identification, and blocking of APIs.


        --  Cloud Data Quality extends capabilities to deliver easy-to-use
            parsing and de-duplication integrated into IICS.


    --  Updates to Informatica Data Governance & Privacy Solutions With CCPA
        enforcement expected to begin after July 1, and continued efforts to
        improve compliance with GDPR, Informatica's best-of-breed privacy
        operations suite delivers ease of adoption, avoiding complicated
        integrations with shared metadata intelligence.
        --  A new privacy analytics and intelligence dashboard within Data
            Privacy Management (DPM) enables organizations to accelerate
            compliance and measure progress and performance.
        --  Subject registry updates help organizations automate responses to
            data subject requests (DSRs), aligning with policy alignment and
            catalog metadata intelligence for expanded insights, enabling data
            transparency that extends the value of governance solutions, and
            reducing the cost of compliance and time-to-value for privacy
            mandate compliance.


        --  Additional features include a new unstructured data scanning agent
            that improves performance and accuracy while reducing false
            positives, and updated extensibility to support Microsoft SharePoint
            and OneDrive.

    --  Updates to 360 Solutions & MDMSince most organizations use multiple
        cloud providers, they need the flexibility to deploy MDM on the cloud
        provider of choice. Multi-cloud deployment of Informatica MDM
        accelerates time to value and insights, while lowering costs and
        improving productivity.
        --  Informatica MDM is now supported on AWS, Azure and GCP, eliminating
            the need to buy and set up hardware for MDM deployments. Businesses
            only need to purchase the MDM processing power they need and can
            automatically scale to address future requirements as record and
            domain volumes grow.
        --  Updates to Customer 360 for Salesforce, Reference 360, and Product
            360 allow businesses to master their business-critical data to
            increase customer retention and loyalty, manage supply chain risk,
            drive digital commerce, and boost operational efficiency with the
            industry's only multi-cloud MDM solution delivering enhanced
            dashboards, improved search requests, faster exports, and more.


        --  Onboard new suppliers faster, and get visibility into tier-1,
            tier-2, and tier-3 suppliers and their performance, leading to
            better supply chain planning during crises, as well as cost savings.

    --  Platform, AI, and Data CatalogingAs data drives digital transformation,
        its importance as a strategic asset has grown - but most organizations'
        understanding of data and its value is limited by their inability to
        catalog all data across legacy systems and newer cloud applications, an
        incomplete view of data lineage, and no ability to measure data value
        and risks. With this release, Informatica delivers new capabilities to
        effectively manage enterprise data as an asset, including:
        --  The industry's first and only data balance sheet that is based on a
            metadata-driven automated data valuation framework to capture data
            value and identify levers for data asset appreciation and risk,
            enabling more effective management of data as a strategic asset.
        --  Data Asset Analytics (DAA) with data value reports and dashboards
            for instant visibility of data asset usage, inventory, enrichment,
            collaboration, and value.
        --  The industry's only catalog of catalogs now extends the industry's
            broadest metadata connectivity and lineage with new scanners for
            enterprise applications, cloud data lakes, Informatica MDM, and
            NoSQL databases. The catalog also includes an enhanced lineage
            diagram, enabling data discovery and curation at enterprise scale
            across hybrid and multi-cloud.
