Informatica
Informatica from Salesforce has embedded Meta Integration® Model Bridge in its data integration and metadata management products since the OEM agreement of January 2004. The bridges read PowerCenter mappings and workflows at the level of detail that lineage and impact analysis need, rather than at the level of source and target names alone.

Informatica product documentation for Mapping Analyst for Excel, 2008.
Mapping Analyst for Excel simplifies this process and the entire data integration life cycle.
A key feature of PowerCenter Standard Edition, Mapping Analyst for Excel unlocks the logic captured in Excel spreadsheets, regardless of format, and enables this logic to be used in PowerCenter.
Analysts use a set of standard Excel templates to define their source-to-target mapping specifications for IT developers. Developers can then jumpstart their development by automatically generating PowerCenter mappings from the specifications. With Mapping Analyst for Excel, business analysts, data analysts, and PowerCenter developers work better together to reduce project delivery times.
