REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 9, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today,
Informatica Corporation (Nasdaq:INFA) the world's number one
independent leader in data integration software, announced the 'beta
version' of the Informatica Marketplace for a community of buyers and

"Customers have been asking Informatica to take a leadership role as
the stewards for the first and only comprehensive data integration
marketplace," said Tony Young, CIO, Informatica. "There are other niche
communities in the market, but no one has the broad technology platform
and unified architecture that Informatica has delivered for many years.
Today Informatica is taking the next step to empower an open and
collaborative community to deliver even more value with new unified
data integration solutions."

"Creating marketplaces between software vendors and developers and
partners is critical to success in the software market. Informatica has
taken an important step by investing in community development. This
will be critical as the company continues to advance cloud computing,
specifically building on their data integration for the cloud," said
Judith Hurwitz, President and CEO of Hurwitz & Associates, Inc.

With today's launch of Informatica Marketplace for data integration,
Informatica is building on the established Cloud Integration community.
The Cloud Community complements Informatica Cloud 9, a comprehensive
platform for cloud data integration. Informatica Cloud 9 Platform
enables developers to build, share, reuse and run custom data
integration and data quality mappings in the cloud.

"Informatica has a thriving community and Fujitsu has already seen
great value by connecting with community members, sharing best
practices and driving business within the Informatica Cloud marketplace
pilot," said Henry Hai, Senior Director, SaaS Practice, Fujitsu
America. "We are very excited that Informatica is taking the next step
with an open marketplace, making available more features, functions,
products and services to further build on their existing data
integration products platform. Within the Informatica Marketplace,
buyers will have one place to go to find all the integration solutions
they need, and sellers like Fujitsu will have a new way to reach the
Informatica community."

With today's introduction of the Informatica Marketplace, Informatica
is announcing a contest to all Informatica developers. For full details
