REDWOOD CITY, Calif., December 12, 2001 - Enterprise analytics leader Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA) today announced it has been named the eighth-most influential IT solutions provider by CMP Media's Intelligent Enterprise magazine. The Intelligent Enterprise “Dozen” list is chosen annually by the magazine's editorial board based on companies' technology leadership, customer innovation and satisfaction, and influence.
