Introduces Dynamic Cloud Integration Templates, Enhances the
    Cloud Connector Toolkit and Broadens Coverage of Free Data
                   Loader for SaaS Applications

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 31, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Informatica
Corporation (Nasdaq:INFA), the world's number one independent provider
of data integration software, today introduced Informatica Cloud Summer
2012, the latest release in its award-winning family of cloud-based
data integration services, with a focus on making cloud integration
easier to develop, configure and consume than ever before.

Informatica Cloud Summer 2012 increases the functionality and power of
the Informatica Cloud Platform by allowing developers to encapsulate
integration process logic in templates that can be consumed and
dynamically configured by end-users at run time. Cloud Integration
Templates are a key component of the Informatica Cloud Developer
Edition, and will be made available along with other productivity
assets on the new Cloud Integration Developer site. This release also
increases the number of native cloud connectors and broadens support
for the award-winning Informatica Cloud Data Loader Service.

New Cloud Integration Templates

Informatica Cloud Summer 2012 provides pre-built, reusable and
customizable Cloud Integration Templates. The templates remove multiple
steps from the integration process - such as the building of
sophisticated workflows between systems. Customers and partners can
dramatically reduce deployment and maintenance costs while accelerating
the ROI of cloud integration projects.


  -- Rapid Development. Use a self-service drag and drop environment to create
     cloud integration applications. These can be shared and run in the cloud,
     published on the Informatica Marketplace, or embedded in commercial
     applications and platforms.
  -- Easy Configuration. Use intuitive integration wizards to execute custom
     cloud data integration tasks or advanced integration processes without
     needing to know the underlying technical details.
  -- Self-Service Consumption. Search for cloud integration templates within
     the Informatica Cloud service or from the Informatica Marketplace. These
     templates automatically adjust to changing data source definitions and
     business rules.




Enhanced Cloud Connector Toolkit

Informatica Cloud Summer 2012 introduces new enhancements to the Cloud
Connector Toolkit for building and delivering high-performance native
connectivity to cloud or on-premise business and social applications.
Customers, ISVs and SIs can now take advantage of new connectors for
Eloqua, Workday, Netsuite and Web Services. The Cloud Connector Toolkit
also supports new advanced hierarchical data modeling, which allows
applications with complex object relationships to make use of new data
integration scenarios.

New Cloud Integration Developer Site

Informatica Cloud Summer 2012 introduces a new Cloud Integration
Developer site as part of the vibrant Informatica Cloud Community. This
new site provides essential developer resources such as code samples,
documentation, best practices, and collaboration venue for Informatica
Cloud APIs, Cloud Integration Templates, and Cloud Connector Toolkit.

Expanded coverage for Informatica Cloud Data Loader

Informatica Cloud Summer 2012 provides the same award-winning,
easy-to-use, and free of charge Informatica Cloud Data Loader for
NetSuite and Microsoft CRM Dynamics in addition to Salesforce CRM and
Force.com. Informatica Cloud Data Loader can be provisioned in minutes,
and allows users to rapidly migrate millions of records in and out of
cloud applications without any programming. It provides advanced
functionality like transformations and automatic scheduling, and can
easily be upgraded to more advanced paid editions with the click of a
button.
