Infoworks Simplify, Automate, Accelerate Cloud Data Operations

What is Infoworks?

Infoworks offers a comprehensive platform designed to automate and streamline cloud data operations and migrations. It addresses the complexities and inefficiencies associated with moving large volumes of data, metadata, and workloads to the cloud, which often hinder digital transformation initiatives. By employing automation, Infoworks enables organizations to perform cloud migrations significantly faster and at a lower cost compared to traditional, manual coding approaches, while requiring fewer specialized resources.

Beyond migration, the platform serves as a unified foundation for modernizing cloud data operations. It accelerates the development and deployment of new Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and analytics applications. Infoworks AI, a component of the platform, leverages generative AI to further automate critical data preparation tasks, including data profiling, SQL generation, and data modeling. The system supports multi-cloud environments and provides a single management console for configuration, operation, data lineage tracking, metadata reporting, data governance, and security.
