Deliver high-quality, real-time data for improved insights

IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server Enterprise Edition is an industry-leading, end-to-end data platform that provides a complete suite of capabilities. These capabilities include automated data discovery, policy-driven governance, self-service data preparation, data quality assessment and cleansing for data in flight and at rest, and advanced dynamic or batch data transformation and movement. It helps you deliver trusted business-ready data to your key business initiatives such as big data, data lakes, data warehouse modernization and master data management — either on premises, private cloud, public cloud or hyperconverged systems like IBM Cloud Pak® for Data.

Features

• **Intuitive browser-based user interface (UI): **Take advantage of automatic schema propagation to speed up job generation, type-ahead search, and backwards capability, while designing once and executing anywhere. Create data integration flows and enforce data governance and quality rules with a cognitive design that recognizes and suggests usage patterns.
• **Classify unstructured data sources: **Classify email messages, word processing documents, audio or video files, collaboration software, or instant messages by integrating IBM Knowledge Catalog with IBM StoredIQ®.
• **Supports a wide range of connectors: **Connect with a wide range of out-of-the-box native connectors such as Google Cloud Storage, Azure, Cassandra, HBase, Hive, Kafka, Amazon S3, Cloudera and more.
• **Assess, analyze and monitor data quality: **Load cleansed information into analytical views to enable you to monitor and maintain data quality with IBM InfoSphere QualityStage®. Reuse these views across the enterprise to establish data quality metrics that align with business objectives to allow your organization to quickly uncover and fix data quality issues.
• **Supports data integration across multicloud environments: **Collect, transform and distribute large volumes of data with built-in transformation functions in DataStage that reduce development time, improve scalability and provide for flexible design. Deliver data in real time to your business applications through batch-based data delivery styles.
• **Business glossary and lineage for data governance: **Improve visibility and information governance by enabling complete, authoritative views of information with proof of lineage and quality. Views can be made widely available and reusable as shared services, while rules are maintained centrally.
• **Integration with IBM Knowledge Catalog: **Use IBM Knowledge Catalog to let business users exploit data assets in a governed and secure way.
• **Integrate with Hadoop: **Enable data integration, data cleansing and data profiling and analysis workloads to run on the data nodes of a Hadoop cluster, where your big data is stored, to minimize data movement.
• **Explore relationships between business assets: **Find assets in your enterprise, explore their relationships and collaborate using enterprise search and IBM Knowledge Catalog.

Benefits
