The IBM InfoSphere Information Server is a heterogeneous platform for the integration of trusted information across the enterprise.  It provides a set of products for a collaborative approach to building massively scalable data integration and data cleansing jobs and a set of shared services for improved productivity and information governance.



IBM InfoSphere Information Server is a metadata driven approach to information development with a tool and shared metadata for each part of the software development lifecycle.

  • Understanding the data is key to building and delivering a high quality product on time. Information Server allows the collaboration and collection of business and technical information for the information to be integrated and cleansed.
  • Cleansing of data involves functions for standardisation, matching and survivorship of data with out of the box rulesets for name and address cleansing.
  • Transform provides the engine for integrating data with a productive user interface and specialised stages to accelerate the build of data migration, data warehouse, interfacing and data conversion functions.
  • Deliver provides the mechanism for providing information on demand including real time SOA, micro batch, batch and federated query.

The shared services of IBM InfoSphere Information Server provide re-use across the suite such as a single copy of metadata shared across products and a single database connection and connection parameters and a single administration dashboard.  This reduces the implementation time and improves maintainability.
