- You need to have your own dedicated infrastructure and file storage to establish this platform.
- Whenever there are any updates or upgrades, you need to plan yourself and get done manually.
- With the batch process feature, PowerCenter is absolutely not the cut for real-time data processing and advanced critical needs
- On the whole, it is difficult to maintain this platform and requires a labor-intensive process to change the codes.
- Should the PowerCenter platform end of life be announced for a specificversion, imagine the amount of labor it’d consume!
Growing enterprises must move to Informatica’s Intelligent Cloud Services IICS to accelerate productivity, drive value in hybrid & cloud infrastructure and improve speed.
