INFORMATICA WORLD, New Orleans, November 5, 2002 - Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), the leading provider of business analytics software, today announced that its market-leading PowerCenterRT data integration platform has been selected by HP to play an integral role in the HP Zero Latency Enterprise (ZLE) architectural framework for real-time, zero latency enterprise computing. As a result of the agreement, HP ZLE customers can now deploy Informatica's PowerCenterRT data integration platform to consolidate very large volumes of information in real time to help drive high-value business actions instantaneously across an enterprise and beyond.
“Companies are looking for innovative and effective approaches to synchronize data and applications, and to trigger meaningful business actions in real-time,” said Sanjay Poonen, vice president of worldwide marketing at Informatica. “As an early proponent of real-time data integration, we are pleased to be teaming with HP - leveraging each others' offerings to help accelerate the move towards zero latency computing on an enterprise scale.”
“Critical to the success of the HP ZLE initiative is strong relationships with leading ISVs that provide integral enabling technologies that help to expose the full benefits of ZLE to end users,” said Mark Hudson, vice president of marketing, HP Business Critical Systems. “Informatica is ideally suited to deliver critical software that enables a ZLE to capture and integrate disparate sources of information within an enterprise into a single real-time view. We are pleased to be working with a partner like Informatica who understands customers' business needs and shares our vision of the real-time enterprise.”
Increasingly implemented by major companies in the highly competitive retail, finance, travel and telecommunications industries, the HP ZLE framework provides a database-driven approach to integrating operational data and systems in real time. Enterprise applications and systems tie into the framework using industry-standard Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) technologies. In a pivotal role, the Informatica PowerCenterRT data integration platform will propogate transactional data from operational systems in real time into the ZLE Data Store, where it is perpetually refreshed and made available to any application that requires consolidated and enriched real-time information.
Informatica joins more than a dozen other leading ISVs whose solutions-from customer-interaction manager applications to business rules engines-integrate seamlessly within the overall HP ZLE architectural framework to provide access to critical business and customer transactions as events occur, no matter where they occur in the enterprise, in real time. Any or all ZLE partner solutions can be leveraged by HP ZLE customers by means of a single purchase order.
Informatica PowerCenterRT is real-time data integration software that helps enable enterprises to efficiently combine transactional data generated by online systems and EAI applications with historical 'time-slice' information stored in enterprise data warehouses. With PowerCenterRT, users have access to critical information as business events occur, enabling them to more effectively monitor, manage and optimize business performance.
