Chicago and Redwood City, Calif., April 14, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Informatica Corporation (Nasdaq:INFA), the world's number one independent provider of data integration software, today announced the Informatica Healthcare Analytics Accelerator, which provides healthcare organizations access to clean, safe and connected data. The new Healthcare Analytics Accelerator enables faster and more reliable clinical and operational analytics and empowers self-service analytics through intuitive data acquisition and data exploration layers.

IT organizations are flooded with requests for new applications, creating mounds of valuable data. The struggle is in the proliferation of application and data silos, leaving business leaders seeking access to integrated data. The Informatica Healthcare Analytics Accelerator addresses this challenge. The new solution, which is based on proven Informatica big data management technologies, is unique in how it can:

• Accelerate time-to-value. With pre-built connectivity to Epic, Allscripts and other healthcare applications, organizations can deliver integrated value faster than with traditional integration efforts.
• Fuel self-service analytics. Accelerated analytics support business analyst access to independent application data, integrated data and organized data. During every step of the process, analysts have access to the information they need to iterate and discover insights in support of strategic initiatives, such as personalized medicine, patient engagement, M&A and risk-based contracting.
• Complement existing analytics and big data strategies. The accelerator aligns with business intelligence strategies and speeds time to value by extracting data from, and integrating data with, Clarity, Cogito, other industry models and big data approaches, such as data lakes.

"Healthcare organizations need access to all their data to support business initiatives, such as personalized medicine, patient engagement, M&A and risk-based contracting," said Kevin Holder, Healthcare CTO, Informatica. "However, the data required is often locked away in numerous proprietary applications. For example, organizations can benefit greatly from integrating EMR data with information from customer relationship management applications and claims data from health plans. The new Informatica Healthcare Analytics Accelerator, which includes our data integration and data governance solutions, combined with comprehensive data models and pre-built healthcare application connectors delivered by our partners, responds to the demands of the healthcare market. This powerful solution provides organizations with immediate access to information every step of the way, thereby supporting the self-service analyses that business and operational leaders are asking for."

The Informatica Healthcare Analytics Accelerator will be generally available by the end of Q2 2015.
