INFORMATICA LEADS DATA INTEGRATION MARKET, SAYS TDWI

Survey finds Informatica's market share over 200 percent larger than nearest vendor

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 21, 2003 - Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), the leading provider of data integration and business intelligence software, today announced that The Data Warehousing Institute's (TDWI) recent data integration survey highlighted Informatica as the clear market share leader, with 38 percent of respondents indicating Informatica as their primary vendor. The vendor with the second-largest market share was selected by only 16 percent of respondents.

In addition, Informatica received the highest customer-satisfaction rating among data integration vendors with more than one customer surveyed. The TDWI survey also revealed Informatica as the scalability leader, with more customers using its data integration platform for very large throughput than any other vendor.

“The results of our recent survey come as no surprise since Informatica has long been the clear market leader for data integration,” said Wayne Eckerson, director of research at The Data Warehousing Institute. “Informatica's superior products have been recognized for seven consecutive years by the TDWI Best Practices awards, pointing to the substantial results regularly achieved by Informatica's customer base. They are the only vendor in their space to obtain such a record of customer success year after year.”

“TDWI's research validates our long-standing position as the industry leader for all types of data integration - from powering data warehouses, to enabling operational integration for data migration, data synchronization, application integration and Business Activity Monitoring,” said Sanjay Poonen, senior vice president of marketing at Informatica. “We are very pleased that our continuous efforts in product and service innovation have paid off with validation by a reputed third-party organization for the highest customer-satisfaction ratings in the industry.”
