Story
Inside BMW, real-time operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of Germany. Platform engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
BMW uses Data Quality from Informatica as the working layer for event streams. Informatica is an enterprise data management platform for integration, quality, catalog, and master data across clouds. The practical change is simple: real-time operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What BMW gets from Informatica is a durable place to run real-time operations and a way for platform engineers to see the same event streams at the same time.
