REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 5, 2007—Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), a leading provider of data integration software, today announced that it is positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools, 2007* as of June 29, 2007. According to Gartner, Inc., leaders in the market demonstrate strength across a complete range of data quality functionality, including profiling, parsing, standardization, matching, validation and enrichment. They exhibit a clear understanding and vision for where the market is headed, including recognition of noncustomer data quality issues and the delivery of enterprise-level data quality implementations. Leaders have an established market presence, significant size and a multinational presence (directly or as a result of a parent company). The complete report, including the quadrant graphic, is available on the Informatica web site at http://www.informatica.com/dq_mq

According to Gartner, “companies are discovering that data quality has a significant impact on their most strategic business initiatives, and, as such, are raising the visibility of data quality activity within their enterprise information management programs. Compliance and transparency are at the top of the list of concerns, along with ensuring the capture of expected benefits from investments in business intelligence and master data management. A common thread underpins successful initiatives in each of these areas: the prerequisite for high-quality data to add accuracy and value to the relevant business processes.”

“We are pleased to be placed in the leaders’ quadrant in Data Quality Tools, which we believe is recognition of our success in the face of our relatively recent entry into the data quality market,” said Ivan Chong, general manager, Data Quality, Informatica. “We are firmly committed to growing our data quality product set as both an integrated and standalone solution for our customers, and will continue to innovate to address new requirements in the rapidly evolving data quality market.”
