    Once the compatibility was established in a test environment, implementation was easy.

    The Data Service capability of Informatica ETL tools is extremely user friendly and easy to setup. There are challenges in upgrading from 9.5 to 10.1, in terms that you have to rebuild the repository with Oracle 12c. PowerCenter Upgrade also has some interoperability issues.
