PowerCenter overview

What is PowerCenter?

PowerCenter is a business intelligence and data integration platform that helps businesses of all sizes build and validate prototypes to deploy projects. The solution allows analysts to collaborate with IT professionals, collect raw data from various sources, and transform it into useful business information.

The software lets administrators utilize a zero-latency engine to offer real-time synchronization of business data across systems, facilitating data-driven decision-making. Managers can automatically validate data to analyze campaign effectiveness, detect fraudulent activity, and examine customer churns. PowerCenter also enables professionals to create sessions in grids, graphs, or pushdown banners to identify and address issues and scale the business performance.

PowerCenter generates real-time alerts to warn professionals about unusual behavior across data integration workflows or misuse of data. PowerCenter also helps teams conduct syntactic analysis of XML, PDF, IoT, and JSON machine data to simplify non-relational databases (NoSQL).

Cons
“PowerCenter is a heavy software and installation is not a trivial task. It uses a lot of memory and it could crash the system if it does not have enough resources.”
