I enjoyed the class a lot! I had problems with queries, so it was super helpful when Mahesh copies them into the chat. All explanations were thorough and be able to do it was awesome.

“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.”
