GAURAV DHILLON PRESENTS A LOOK AHEAD DURING INFORMATICA WORLD 2003 KEYNOTE

Opening keynote highlights benefits of adaptive approach to integration and insight

INFORMATICA WORLD 2003, SAN DIEGO, October 20, 2003 - In today's keynote address to customers of Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), Gaurav Dhillon, president and CEO, presented Informatica's vision for the future of the integration and insight landscape. During his opening keynote to the largest-ever audience at Informatica World, the company's annual user conference, Dhillon discussed the importance of an adaptive approach to delivering optimized business performance through end-to-end data integration and tightly coupled business intelligence.

“Today's enterprises are raising the priority of difficult integration initiatives, such as efficiently delivering a single view of corporate information and dealing with regulatory compliance issues like Sarbanes-Oxley,” said Dhillon. “In order to successfully meet these challenges and thrive in today's fast-changing world, enterprises' data integration and insight initiatives must incorporate an adaptive architecture that automatically detects and responds to changes in a company's business and computing environment.”

Dhillon's keynote outlined how a service-oriented architecture can enable an adaptive integration approach that delivers shared data services with standard processes. The benefits organizations can achieve from implementing an adaptive data integration platform include improved flexibility, lower costs and more dynamic business processes.

Added Dhillon, “The flexibility and agility of today's companies is directly proportional to how quickly they can adapt their information infrastructures. In fact, an enterprise's ability to deploy process innovations and create new business value is now based upon a composite of both their new and prior technology investments.”

Against this backdrop, Dhillon highlighted Informatica's adaptive capabilities in the upcoming release of its PowerCenter data integration platform, which supplies data integration and business insight through a service-oriented architecture. Informatica is currently developing Web services, as well as data and computing on-demand enhancements for this platform.
