DataCode

Florida-based · Informatica exit · Azure integration · AI-accelerated delivery

Your PowerCenter estate is out of support. We move it.

DataCode is a Florida-based data integration practice. Our founders have led enterprise PowerCenter-to-IDMC migrations end to end — not scoped them, not overseen them — and a senior engineer leads every engagement we take. We put AI to work reading and converting the estate, ship every artifact through versioned pipelines, and prove each migrated pipeline produces the same rows as the one it replaced. Then we keep it running.

Why we exist

The two things an Informatica exit needs are almost never in the same person.

It needs someone who has actually led one — not scoped it, not overseen it — and it needs a delivery practice that uses AI properly rather than as a line in a proposal. The engineers with twenty years of enterprise integration behind them are mostly not working this way. The people fluent in AI-assisted delivery have mostly never opened a PowerCenter mapping. DataCode was founded to put both in one team, and to train consultants into the combination so the capability is reproducible rather than sitting in two heads.

Depth in the estate you are leaving

Not cloud-native experience with a PowerCenter chapter bolted on. Two decades inside these estates — the mapplets nobody documented, the control numbers the translator issues, the scheduler dependencies that only surface at cutover. That is the knowledge that decides whether a migration lands, and it is leaving the market faster than the platform is.

AI used where it is unambiguously good

Reading an undocumented estate at volume is the thing AI is genuinely excellent at, and it is where the acceleration is real. Deciding what the output means is not, and we do not pretend otherwise. We publish no automation percentage, because we have not measured yours and neither has anyone quoting you one.

Built to be reproducible, not heroic

A two-person firm that cannot grow is a bottleneck a client discovers in month three. The method is written down — instruction files, agent skills, review gates, parity tests — so a consultant can be trained into it and a founder can check they have been. That is the whole company: a standard, written down, with the people who set it still checking it.

The clock is not ours. It is the vendor’s.

PowerCenter 10.5.x left standard support in March 2026. Extended support runs to March 2027 and sustaining support to 2029, with no guarantee of fixes for critical defects. Informatica is now part of Salesforce, and licensing is moving to consumption-based metering. Every quarter spent deciding is a quarter of extended-support cost and a quarter less runway.

The converter does not finish the job

Automated conversion tools handle the standard mappings. The published accuracy figures cluster around 70% out of the box, and the residue is always the same: custom transformations, stored-procedure calls, unsupported functions, hand-rolled error handling, and scheduler dependencies nobody documented. That residue is the project.

Nobody can prove the new pipeline is right

The reason migrations stall in UAT is that no one can demonstrate the rebuilt pipeline produces the same output as the old one. We generate the parity tests as part of the conversion, not after it.

The knowledge left the building years ago

The people who built the estate have gone. What remains is a mapping nobody wants to open. Reading an undocumented estate is the single thing AI is unambiguously good at, and it is where the acceleration is real.

What we do

Six engagements. Most clients start with the first one, because it is the one that tells you whether the rest are worth buying.

Fixed fee · 3 weeks

Informatica Exit Assessment

The paid front door. You end it knowing exactly what you own, what it costs to move, and what it costs to stay.

Fixed fee per wave, or time and materials

PowerCenter → IDMC Conversion

The migration itself, run by the people who have done it three times.

Programme

Informatica → Azure Integration Modernization

For estates leaving Informatica entirely rather than moving to its cloud. This is the work we are running right now.

Programme

Cloud Data Platform & Lakehouse

Somewhere worth migrating the data to — modelled, tested and governed.

Fixed fee · 3–6 weeks

AI-Assisted Delivery Enablement

We stand your own team up on the way we work, so the acceleration outlives us.

Monthly retainer · US business hours

Managed Run & Automated Production Support

The team that built it is the team that supports it. Most migrations end with a handover to people who have never seen the system — this one does not have to.

Hourly · direct or through your integrator

Senior Engineering Capacity

A senior engineer on your programme, or behind your system integrator’s, with vetted consultants working to them.
