4. Why Informatica? Why Now?
Informatica enables organizations to gain a competitive advantage in today’s global information economy by empowering companies with timely, relevant and trustworthy data
The way that data is loaded from the source systems into DMHRSi is being redefined – Informatica
Currently DMHRSi human resources data is all over the map, it changes daily
Source data will be more trustworthy
This means that we will not be able to make the data show what we want
MEPRS will have to adapt to what the source system data is

5. INFORMATICA DATA FLOW DIAGRAM

6. INFORMATICA SIX STEP DATA QUALITY PROCESS

7. CLEANUP OF EXISTING DMHRSi DATA
Source System Rules
Most cleanup will be done by Informatica because “Source System Rules” will automatically cleanup data going forward.
Source data will not be available prior to go-live so prior history will not be cleaned up.
Recommend EAS processing be kept fully up to date prior to go-live.

8. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR MEPRS?
Rules are currently being defined to identify which human resource fields sites will be able to update and the fields that will be locked so sites won’t be able to update them
Currently all fields can be updated, that will not be the case under Informatica
Every effort is being made to ensure the transition will not corrupt the past data
Transition is currently scheduled for October 2010
This change will impact MEPRS – more information will be forwarded as we get closer to the implementation date
