SaaS/Service Provider Partner Program

Leveraging Informatica Enterprise Data Integration Solutions for Outsourcing and Software Service

Informatica's Service Provider Partner Program (SP3) is designed to provide outsourcing providers, Application Service Providers (ASP), and Software as a Service (SaaS) vendors access to Informatica's data integration solutions on a subscription or royalty basis for delivery of services to their customers.

Informatica operates the same way service providers do, charging fees for services. By treating software as a pay-as-you-go service, SP3 members can increase margins, accelerate profitability, and better manage their cash flow on their customer contracts.

With the SP3, Informatica makes it easier for service providers to deliver hosted solutions with seamless software license integration. The program makes software costs transparent when it comes to their customers, allowing service providers to treat software as an operating cost rather than a capital cost. As an SP3 member, companies pay as they deploy, and only for what they deploy. This sort of innovative, software on-demand solution allows service providers to offer flexible, cost-effective solutions to their customers.

“The ultimate beneficiary of Informatica’s new partner program is our end customer. In modifying its licensing model for service provider partners, Informatica is enabling us to use its world-class data integration products in ways and for projects that in the past would not have been financially viable. Informatica’s partner program will help us improve service delivery, decrease cycle times and cut costs, which are all benefits that can be passed on to customers.”
