Case Study: Vale achieves faster partner onboarding, $420K annual savings, and streamlined partner data exchange with Informatica

Vale Unleashes Potential of Partner Relationships With Informatica

Vale, one of the world’s top three metals and mining companies with operations in more than 30 countries, relies on a vast network of suppliers, banks and engineering partners. Rapid growth in cloud-based collaboration produced large volumes and varied formats of unstructured data that Vale’s legacy mainframe processes could not handle, making onboarding slow, manual and costly, limiting large-file exchange and reducing partner visibility and control.

To solve this, Vale implemented a global partner gateway (GIFT) using Informatica B2B Data Exchange, B2B Data Transformation and PowerCenter to automate multi-format data flows, enable large-file transfers, and provide event monitoring, security and self-service. The deployment reduced onboarding from months to hours, saved about $420,000 annually, completed in 125 days, cut storage costs through up to 95% archival compression, retired legacy platforms and improved compliance, visibility and partner experience.
