Informatica and Applimation
Dramatically Reduce Data Management Costs via Application ILM
In February, 2009, Informatica acquired Applimation, the market leader in application information lifecycle management (ILM). This acquisition expands the Informatica Platform with a family of products that help IT organizations manage various phases of their application data lifecycle—from development and testing to archiving and retirement.
“Our acquisition of Applimation expands our addressable market to encompass an adjacent growth category—application information lifecycle management,” said Sohaib Abbasi, chairman and chief executive officer, Informatica. “The combination of Informatica and Applimation further advances our technology leadership in data integration. Together, we will offer customers a platform to access, integrate, and trust all their active and archived data, while reducing total cost-of ownership.”
