INFORMATICA ANNOUNCES ENHANCED DATA QUALITY SOLUTION

Informatica's market-leading data integration platform now embeds powerful data quality technology from Firstlogic

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 29, 2003 - Building on a strong relationship established more than three years ago, Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA) today announced an OEM partnership with Firstlogic, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise information quality solutions. Under the agreement, Informatica will embed tools from Firstlogic for data standardization, cleansing and matching as the first component of its Informatica Quality extension to the PowerCenter data integration platform.  The agreement also allows Informatica to offer a limited license of Firstlogic's IQ InsightŪ for performing data quality assessments.  The expanded partnership will help provide customers with a unified solution for best-of-breed data quality and integration capabilities.

"The enhanced data quality capabilities we're making available to customers clearly illustrate Informatica's commitment to furthering its strong leadership position in data integration," said Girish Pancha, senior vice president of products at Informatica. "By tightly pairing the leading data integration platform with Firstlogic's powerful data quality tools in a consolidated solution, customers stand to benefit from streamlined enterprise integration, improved information quality, and lower total cost of ownership."

"Embedding data quality functionality within the Informatica data integration platform will help customers take a more holistic integration approach, and be more confident that their quality requirements will be taken care of automatically within the integration framework," said Eric Lieberman, president of Firstlogic. "This is not a new partnership but rather a natural 'next step' in a partnership between Informatica and Firstlogic that dates back to 1999. We already have more than 60 joint customers utilizing tightly integrated technologies, and are pleased to further cement our mutually productive relationship."

Offered as a PowerCenter extension, Informatica Quality will deliver powerful data standardization, cleansing, and matching tools that will run directly on the Informatica data integration engine. This will help enable specialized data quality functions - such as worldwide address cleansing, profiling and data matching - to take place efficiently within the flow of the overall data integration and transformation process, thereby ensuring end-to-end integrity. It also enables critical data quality functions to leverage the connectivity, metadata, parallel performance and linear scalability of the PowerCenter platform.

"Essential to obtaining consolidated customer and enterprise views, data cleansing is another type of data transformation, but it has traditionally been a separate process," said Ted Friedman, senior research analyst, Business Intelligence Infrastructure Team at Gartner. "Taking a holistic approach to data quality and data integration enables enterprises to achieve optimal value from their information assets."

The Informatica Quality extension for Informatica PowerCenter is currently scheduled for availability toward the end of the third quarter of 2003.
