Uponor is a provider of plumbing and indoor climate systems that needed to integrate data between its Oracle EBS system, Salesforce, and other systems. It had previously used an on-premise Cast Iron appliance for integration but it was unsupported and difficult to upgrade. Uponor tried Informatica Cloud in a day and was able to create and run tasks much more quickly than with its previous solution. Informatica Cloud proved to be scalable, easy to use, and provided better support than Cast Iron.
