Informatica Acquires Diaku, Releases Axon Data Governance

Informatica has announced the release of Axon, the industry’s first enterprise data governance tool. The solution enables enterprise data governance programs across a wide array of industries including highly regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, life sciences, insurance and others to connect people and data. With Axon and  its integration to the Informatica Intelligent Data Platform (IDP), customers can now take advantage of an intelligent solution for data governance and compliance.

Axon is based on technologies obtained through the acquisition of Diaku Ltd. With Axon, organizations are able to do the following:

• Address the full spectrum of data governance requirements for business and technical constituents
