Defense Acquisition University Wins Computerworld Honors Award For Informatica-Powered Information Architecture

Coveted 21st Century Achievement Award goes to university-wide data integration and visibility environment

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.,  June 14, 2007—Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), a leading provider of data integration solutions, today announced that the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) has won this year's top IDG Computerworld Honors Program award in the category of Education and Academia. Dedicated to the ongoing professional development of the Department of Defense's global Acquisition, Technology and Logistics workforce, the DAU won the prestigious 21st Century Achievement Award for its real-time information architecture and data repository, powered by the Informatica PowerCenter data integration platform.

"The university-wide data integration and visibility environment we created with the help of Informatica has had a profound impact on the DAU's mission, reflected in rapidly rising graduation rates and the deployment of more than 1.6 million hours of new learning assets with no increase in the annual training budget," said Frank Anderson, president, DAU, who accepted the award at the program's 19th annual medal ceremony in Washington, D.C. last week. "The data integration challenge was formidable-more than 40 data sources-but now the information silos have fallen and we're able to leverage all our data to drive more efficient operations and successful educational outcomes."

Fusing data from dozens of disparate sources inside and outside the five-campus university, the DAU's information architecture presents consolidated information on demand to administrators, instructors and staff via easy-to-understand dashboard views and repeatable reports that touch almost everyone in the university. As a result, business visibility is now widespread: administrators see at-a-glance class costs, teacher certifications, and graduation and attrition rates; instructors receive reports on the success of each class; and civilian contractors have insight into how their employees are progressing in the university's training programs. In short, everyone has on-demand access to the information they need to improve their performance and that of the university as a whole as the DAU fulfills its mission of training the workforce that manages the logistics and technologies supporting US warfighters worldwide.

"The DAU exemplifies the challenges facing all learning institutions and government agencies: improving accountability and consistently doing more with less," said Brian Gentile, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Informatica. "Through its new information architecture, the DAU can now more intelligently align its resources with its business strategies and with the educational and career management needs of the DoD's worldwide logistics workforce. We applaud the DAU's trailblazing achievements in data integration and congratulate them on their most recent honor."

In addition to the DAU's 21st Century Achievement Award, three other Informatica customers were awarded Laureate status in the Computerworld Honors Program this year: Brocade Communications, Humberside Police and M&S Money.
