REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- News facts:
- Informatica Corporation (Nasdaq:INFA), the number one independent provider of data integration software, today announced that Dawn Food Products, Inc. (Dawn Foods) is successfully using the Informatica Platform as the backbone of its enterprise-wide data warehouse and business intelligence environment.
- Dawn Foods is achieving near real-time views of day-to-day operations while driving optimized supply chain, manufacturing and global inventory processes at a faster pace, as well as with increased revenues and profitability.
- Replacing manual processes for business intelligence that resulted in business decisions being made on week-old data, the Informatica solution now enables refreshed information to be available hourly for more accurate, timely and trusted decision making across Dawn Foods.
- The single, consistent and timely insights into Dawn Food's operations, enabled by Informatica, have played a vital role in increasing product performance, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs across the commodity based business – including helping Dawn Foods to concentrate sales efforts on its highest margin products and consequently enjoy a higher percentage of profitability.
- Dawn Foods' use of the Informatica Platform, with its near-universal data access capabilities, is also helping the company to more quickly absorb strategic business acquisitions by enabling the rapid integration of data from newly acquired companies – thus accelerating the realization of the benefits of acquisition and reducing the attendant business risk.
- Dawn Foods is also leveraging the Informatica Platform to help manage reference data through the creation and maintenance of reference data tables in its data warehouse, allowing errors and adjustments to invoices, for example, to be handled immediately as opposed to weeks or even months later through the corporate ERP system.
- Instrumental to Dawn Foods' successful technology solution and implementation has been Informatica Professional Services, which has helped guide the company on data integration projects from strategy through to implementation, while acting as an important adjunct to Dawn Foods' business intelligence resource-limited IT department.
