Computer Business Review lauds Informatica for “steadfast independence” and focus on “enterprise data integration”

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., August 3, 2005—Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), a leading provider of data integration software, today announced that Computer Business Review (CBR) has for the third year in a row named Informatica one of the ten most-influential companies in the integration market. Declaring that Informatica “pioneered the market for data integration,” CBR singled out the company for having “steadfastly remained independent” and for “concentrating on enterprise data integration.”

“Despite most of its early extract, transform and load (ETL) rivals being swallowed up by larger software vendors, Informatica has steadfastly remained independent and is now broadening out to wider data integration markets,” said Jason Stamper, editor of Computer Business Review. “Informatica is also now talking to senior IT decision-makers more and more, and is to be applauded for evangelizing the message of Integration Competency Centers as a means for enterprises to get a better handle on their constant integration challenges.”

“Data integration initiatives are moving increasingly beyond data warehousing to encompass data migration, synchronization and, most recently, cross-enterprise data integration for sharing information with business partners and outsourcers,” said John Entenmann, executive vice president of corporate strategy and marketing, Informatica. “We’re pleased to once again be recognized by CBR for Informatica’s leadership role in widening the focus of enterprise data integration.”

CBR’s “Top 10 Most Influential Special Report,” published annually in mid-July, contains rankings of the most influential companies in multiple high-technology industry segments. Selected by a team of seasoned industry journalists and technical analysts, the “Top 10” companies are chosen based on a combination of technology prowess, market share, vision and executive leadership.
