Informatica Strengthens Data-Quality Offering Within Industry’s Leading Data Integration Platform

Expands partnerships with Firstlogic and Trillium Software to deliver best-of-breed data cleansing and matching to customers worldwide

TDWI World Conference Summer 2005, San Diego, August 16, 2005—Further augmenting the comprehensive data-quality solution it offers to customers, Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), a leading provider of data integration software, today announced expanded relationships with the market’s leading data-quality software vendors: Firstlogic, Inc. and Harte-Hanks Trillium Software.  Informatica’s long-standing global OEM relationship with Firstlogic has been renewed and broadened to include new capabilities.  Additionally, Informatica signed a global OEM agreement with Trillium Software that builds upon prior joint-partner activities.

“Firstlogic and Trillium Software are recognized market leaders, with unique strengths in data cleansing and matching that complement the robust transformation and profiling capabilities of Informatica’s larger data-quality offering,” said John Entenmann, executive vice president, corporate strategy and marketing at Informatica. “In order to provide our customers with the most effective data-cleansing and matching functionality, Informatica is committed to teaming with the industry’s best-of-breed vendors to deliver leading data-quality and integration functionality from a single platform.”

Informatica has maintained a successful OEM partnership with Firstlogic for more than two years, working with the company in total for more than six years. Firstlogic software for data standardization and cleansing is currently integrated into more than 160 customer implementations of the Informatica PowerCenter data integration platform. Joint customers include Carnival Cruise Lines, Kohl’s, L.A. Times and Argent Mortgage.  The expanded OEM agreement allows for the immediate addition of Firstlogic’s data-matching functionality to PowerCenter environments as well as access to IQ8 functionality.

To further broaden customer choice, Informatica is also now formalizing its six-year relationship with Harte-Hanks Trillium Software through an OEM partnership.  Informatica and Trillium Software already share many joint customers, with more than 20 percent located outside of the U.S. Harte-Hanks Trillium Software maintains a strong presence in Europe and Asia-Pacific that can be leveraged by joint customers worldwide. With the global OEM agreement in place, Trillium’s software for data cleansing and matching will be available as part of Informatica’s data quality solution immediately.

“Data standardization, cleansing, matching, profiling and other functions that comprise data quality are vital to customers’ ability to achieve maximum results from their data integration implementations,” said Eric Rogge, vice president and research director at Ventana Research. “Informatica’s ongoing relationships with Firstlogic and Trillium enhance the PowerCenter platform and give their customers proven technology.”

Informatica offers a holistic approach to data quality through its data-transformation engine, and capabilities for data profiling, data correction, audit-trail reporting, lineage and dependency analysis, and name and address cleansing. Working seamlessly within the PowerCenter environment, Informatica’s data quality offering standardizes, validates, and corrects name and address data to maximize the integrity and value of an organization’s most important information assets and provide users with accurate business-relevant information. Optimized for performance, it also utilizes the connectivity, metadata, parallel performance, and linear scalability of the PowerCenter platform to increase the number of data sources that may be cleansed and improve data quality in an organization.
