Case Study: Seagate achieves $1.2M in savings and cuts HR data transfer from 48 to 2 hours with Informatica PowerCenter

Informatica PowerCenter enables leading hard disk manufacturer save $1.2 million over three years and decrease data transfer time from 48 hours to two hours

Seagate Technology, a global leader in hard disk drives with $7.6 billion in annual revenue and 44,000 employees, needed to streamline HR data management. The company faced a patchwork of legacy and third‑party systems that drove high maintenance costs, slow data transfers and inconsistent, untimely workforce information worldwide.

Seagate implemented Informatica PowerCenter to build a centralized HR data hub, retiring multiple legacy systems and eliminating hand‑coding. The solution cut data transfer times from 48 hours to two, saved about $1.2 million in maintenance and development costs over three years, improved data consistency and availability, and provided extensibility for future needs.
