Case Study: Motorola achieves nearly 3x faster data loads and $2.5M ROI with Informatica

Cut load time to a change management data mart in half and ensured 24/7 access to reliable, accurate, up-to-date data

Motorola, a $35 billion supplier of wireless network components, faced slow, stale reporting and the need for greater reliability, scalability, and high availability. Excessive load times (4 hours 20 minutes for a test management data mart and 5 hours for a change management data mart), increasing data volumes and sources, and the need to avoid downtime during maintenance were causing customer complaints and operational strain.

Informatica implemented PowerCenter, High Availability and Enterprise Grid to accelerate integration, enable grid scaling and minimize service interruptions. The solution delivered a three‑year ROI of $2.5 million, cut test mart load time to 90 minutes and change mart to 2 hours 30 minutes (nearly threefold overall load improvement), reduced development and maintenance effort by at least 15%, and ensured 24/7 access to reliable, up‑to‑date data.
