Afflelou Leverages the Company’s Intelligent Data Management
Cloud™ Platform to Make Business-Critical Decisions
Informatica (NYSE: INFA), a leader in enterprise AI-powered
cloud data management, today announced that Alain Afflelou, a top
global franchise provider for optical and auditory solutions, is
using Informatica’s AI-powered Intelligent Data Management Cloud™
(IDMC) platform to govern the data collected from its franchisees
in 19 countries to make business-critical decisions.
Alain Afflelou was founded in France in 1972. Today, the company
has grown to more than 1,400 independently-owned franchise stores
throughout the world offering vision and hearing health solutions.
Afflelou’s primary customers are their franchisees—who are
autonomous merchants—meaning data definitions, organisation, types
and formats varied significantly across geographies, making the
governance of data a significant challenge. Afflelou turned to
Informatica to develop a global, cloud-based data management
solution that has robust data governance capabilities to ensure
data quality and confidentiality.
“Data is one of the assets that can make a difference in the
franchise business. As we need to rely on it to make important
decisions, it’s crucial to build trust in it and to give access to
it. It helps us to provide services that guide our partners on
their operational efficiency on a daily basis,” said
Jean-Christophe Leboucher, Chief Data Officer at Alain
Afflelou. “We needed a data management platform that could
govern, ensure quality and share the data collected across the
globe to create a trusted foundation for all our strategic,
compliance and reporting needs. The Informatica IDMC platform makes
our data fit for business use today, and can grow with us in the
future.”
“Alain Afflelou is a fantastic example of what is possible when
a company commits to making a digital transformation and the
increased value that can be gleaned from a modern cloud data
management platform,” said Emilio Valdés, Senior VP, EMEA and
LATAM Sales at Informatica. “Holistic, trusted, governed and
shared data can bring significant benefits to any business, but
Afflelou proves this impact at scale, across thousands of
locations.”
