REDWOOD CITY, Calif., September 25, 2002 - Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), the leading provider of business analytics software, today announced it was named one of Federal Computer Week's “Top 10 Companies To Watch” for offering the right solution for homeland-security problems.

“A former National Security Advisor has said that if he were Tom Ridge, the first dollar he would spend would be on data integration. As such, implementing data integration and analytics solutions has become one of the government's top priorities in its modernization effort to connect disparate silo agencies,” said Sanjay Poonen, vice president of worldwide marketing at Informatica. “Informatica offers customers the industry's most comprehensive and powerful data integration solutions for addressing this very important requirement. We are extremely pleased receive this honor from one of the public sector's most influential publications, especially as the only data integration and business analytics company to make the list.”
Currently, more than 75 public-sector organizations use Informatica solutions, including the IRS, Navy Fleet Material Support Office (FMSO), the U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the U.S. Postal Service. Informatica's revenues in the federal market have grown by more than 150% over the past year.
