ODI: Migration from Informatica to ODI

Oracle has officially stopped supporting the OBIA version with Informatica. Informatica is not owned by Oracle but was owned by the Siebel systems (before the Oracle take over) and OBIA known as Siebel Analytics. OBIA was rebranded as Oracle Business Intelligence Application (OBIA) after the Oracle take over with pre-build ETL provided for Oracle EBS and PeopleSoft in addition to Siebel CRM. In the current situation, all existing customers have the single option of migrating to an ODI version of OBIA or the more challenging option of just moving to another BI product. The challenges with ODI based OBIA solution is that Oracle has not given any migration tool, which makes it more of a re-implementation than just a migration/upgrade.

Samkit has built processes and tools that help reduce the pain of reimplementation by 35%. Our tools of processes give customers an error-free partially automated path of reimplementation utilizing current Informatica investment and customizations.
