supply data across 300 stores with Informatica data integration platform
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Informatica
Corporation (Nasdaq: INFA), a leading provider of data integration
solutions, today announced that the Monoprix Group, France's leading
city-center retail brand, has selected the Informatica PowerCenter data
integration platform as the foundation of its new country-wide store
operations system. In consolidating retail data across 300 stores and
integrating it with head office applications, PowerCenter will help
Monoprix increase the reliability of critical stock, supply and store
management functions and maximize customer satisfaction by ensuring product
availability.
Informatica PowerCenter will assist Monoprix in its strategy of placing
customers at the heart of business and maximizing their satisfaction
through shelves that are always fully stocked. Informatica PowerCenter was
selected for its proven reliability, scalability, automated data
integration and low maintenance, as well as for its high degree of market
familiarity.
The euro 3.3 billion Monoprix Group operates 300 stores under the
Monoprix, Inno, Monop' and beauty monop brands. Monoprix's tagline - "What
can we do for you today? - illustrates its commitment to providing a wide
range of high-quality products at the lowest possible prices while enabling
enjoyable shopping experiences. The ability to deliver on this commitment
hinges on rigorous stock and supply management closely synchronized to
customer demand. PowerCenter will help enable this close management by
integrating purchasing and stock control data with information from
promotions systems and each store's point-of-sale systems. Management will
thus be able to leverage company-wide, regional and store-by-store views to
accurately monitor customer demand and optimize in-stock positions.
"One of the most important issues facing retailers and distributors is
accurate stock and supply management, which cannot be achieved without
timely and comprehensive business views," said Brian Gentile, CMO,
Informatica. "PowerCenter enables these and other enterprises to better
synchronize their supply and demand chains, automate key business
processes, hold down costs and offer more competitive prices through
increased efficiency, and make more confident decisions impacting customers
and profits based on complete, consistent and high quality data."
Informatica PowerCenter helps accelerate enterprise data integration
initiatives, enabling enterprises to reduce IT costs and complexity,
modernize systems and ensure a single, consistent enterprise-wide view of
information for more effective decision-making. PowerCenter is also
designed to access, transform and integrate data from a wide variety of
enterprise systems to support the broadest range of data integration
projects including - data warehousing, data migration, data consolidation,
data synchronization and master data management. This allows IT management
to be more responsive to business demands for information despite
dramatically increasing data volumes; IT developers to benefit from reduced
time to results; and users to gain a holistic and consistent view of their
enterprise information.
