Informatica B2BData Transformation
Extract and Utilize Data from Any File, Document,or MessageTo stay competitive and grow, your company needs to effectively leverage its data
including the data locked in complex les, documents, and messages. The number and size
of these data sources are expanding, making it difficult to manage the diversity of their types.
In addition, complexity is increasing, formats are evolving, and customization is becoming
the norm. As a result, service levels are at risk, so efficiency is key. Whether youre extending
your data warehouse to incorporate untapped complex data, building distributed service-
oriented architecture (SOA) data services, or constructing an industry data exchange hub tosupport electronic banking, insurance, or healthcare operations, data transformation
is essential.
Informatica B2B Data Transformation is enterprise-class software for extracting data from
any le, document, or messageregardless of format, complexity, or sizeand transforming
it into a usable form. Design tools provide a productive, codeless, visual design and test
environment for integrating all le, document, and message-based data up to 80 percent
faster than hand coding transformations.
Comprehensive Transformation Tools and Industry Standard SupportInformatica B2B Data Transformation includes the most comprehensive out-of-the-box
support for industry standards on the market today. This support enables your IT organizationto add new data sources quicklyyou can readily integrate message formats such as EDI,
SWIFT, NACHA, ACORD, and HIPAA. Document processors make it easy to extract data
from Adobe PDF les and Microsoft Word and Excel documents. To support the complete
transformation development process, Informatica B2B Data Transformation includes tools for
analysts, an Excel-based mapping tool, and an easy-to-use library customization UI. These
features streamline gathering requirements, jump-start development by creating actionable
specications, ease the back-and-forth between analysts and IT development, and reduce
costly errors.
The Versatility to Run Specications as Data Transformation ServicesWith Informatica B2B Data Transformation, the specications that analysts create can be
run as transformation servicesallowing developers to focus on more technical challengesand make better use of limited IT resources. These data transformation services are easy to
maintain and can be reused across solutions and architecturesas a common service in an
SOA, leveraged by an enterprise service bus (ESB) or enterprise application integration (EAI)
infrastructure, and used by mappings in Informatica PowerCenter. The data transformation
engine is designed for high-performance real-time and batch processing of complex data.
Using Informatica B2B Data Transformation in conjunction with Informatica PowerCenter,
your IT organization can efficiently design, deploy, and reuse transformations across the
enterprise, preserving investment and consolidating transformation processing.

Data Transformation Studio
Using this Eclipse-based, wizard-driven, interactive
tool, you can dramatically simplify the data
transformation design process and create dynamic,
rules-driven transformations between any two data
formats. It features a simple point-and-click, mark-
and-map process, so that dening a transformation
is as easy as marking relevant data directly on a
sample of the source data and then mapping that
data to a chosen XML schema. Data Transformation
Studio enables you to import and easily customize
prebuilt transformations for industry standards such
as EDI, SWIFT, and HIPAA. It also leverages document
preprocessors to extract the data locked in PDF les
and Microsoft Word and Excel documents and can
generate a exible transformation framework frommessage specications authored in Word or Excel.
Data Transformation AcceleratorThis tool leverages the familiar Excel environment
to design transformation specications, test
specications with real data , and rapidly generate
data transformation services.
Data Format Transformation LibrariesThese libraries leverage the broadest set of prebuilt
transformations on the market, including a wide
variety of industry-standard formats (such as SWIFT,
NACHA, HIPAA, HL7, ACORD, EDI X12, EDIFACT, and
others) document formats (such as Word, Excel, PDF,
Star Office, AFP, PostScript, PCL, and HTML), and
at les (positional, nonpositional, variant les, and
undocumented binaries). Some legacy formats, such
as COBOL, are also supported.
Informatica B2B Data Transformation makes it easy to extract data from all le, document, and message-based data, including Microsoft Word and Excel documents.
