4 Project Stages and Typical Challenges Design / Build Test Deploy Manage / Operate Developer Developer Administrator Developer Administrator Lack of automation Manual review Code comparison Manual monitoring Repetitive tasks Incomplete visibility Code migration Outage prevention Following different standards Extensive time Post migration activities

5 Developing Mappings Design / Build Most time consuming activity about 50% to 70% Understand logical and physical data models Dependencies and business rules Stringent client standards Diversity in the projects Developer Repeating activities over and over again ex. adding ports, formulas, etc.

6 Accelerated Mapping Generation Repetitive work made easier save about 50% to 80% of your time Power of Excel extended to PowerCenter create / edit hundreds of ports easily write and copy PowerCenter formulas in seconds

7 MapGen+ MapGen Visio Templates DBMetadata Mapping XMLs templates from Marketplace Data Warehousing Data Migration Change Data Capture Data Cleansing Generate scores of mappings in seconds

8 Expression Builder
