“Our Informatica Axon and Enterprise Data Catalog training classes were all excellent for our needs.  The trainer really knew a lot about data governance strategy, frameworks, stewardship and actual implementation. As a senior consultant, he had implemented many projects, this really helped in Q&A. Highly recommended.”
