Informatica Helps Office of State Revenue of NSW Australia Recover Millions in Revenue
GlobeNewswire
2010-02-16

     Identifies Additional Revenue From Unpaid Taxes and Fraud
                            Mitigation

SYDNEY, Australia, Feb. 16, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Informatica
Corporation (Nasdaq:INFA), the world's number one independent provider
of data integration software, today announced that the Office of State
Revenue (OSR), a department of the Treasury of the State of New South
Wales (NSW), Australia is implementing the Informatica Identity
Resolution (IIR) solution. The OSR's mission is to collect all tax
revenues due and administer tax revenue laws for the benefit of the six
and a half million people of NSW, while at the same time maximising
effectiveness, efficiency and client satisfaction. Informatica Identity
Resolution will be used to support the OSR's Recoups System, which is
the OSR's main taxation system.

Informatica Identity Resolution is a robust, highly scalable software
that enables organizations to search and match identity data with high
reliability, accuracy and performance, in both batch and real time.
With Informatica, the OSR expects to see an increase in the
department's ability to identify liable taxpayers who are not currently
registered with OSR.

Ermil Sipp, Deputy Director Operations Strategy at OSR said: "Our
department was already utilizing Informatica's products for project
orientated data groupings, as well as for performing ad-hoc online
searches against taxpayer records. For the upgrade of our Recoups
System, we elected to use the Informatica Identity Resolution (IIR)
product."

IIR will enable OSR to enhance its capacity to identify First
Homeowners Grant applicants who have previously owned a home and are no
longer eligible for the grant through using IIR's fuzzy matching
capabilities. The implementation of IIR will also enable the OSR to
gain a more powerful name searching capability within its own property
information data mart.

Sipp added: "This year the OSR anticipates savings in excess of
AU$150,000 a year from the reduction in external property information
database search fees as a result of deploying IIR to more effectively
search for property records in its own Land Tax database."

Sipp continued, "By utilizing the algorithms in Informatica's identity
resolution technology and performing a thorough analysis of the
relationships among people, companies and addresses, Informatica has
enabled the OSR to improve its capacity to identify additional revenue
through its compliance programs thereby providing the NSW government
with additional revenue to fund services for the people of NSW. It will
also assist the OSR to minimise the risk that grants are paid to
non-eligible people."
