Informatica Going Strong Despite Downturn

Informatica Going Strong Despite Downturn

Data integration specialist Informatica has released positive fourth-quarter results, in an economic climate where it is fast becoming the norm for tech firms to report a significant loss.



However, financial analysts said at Informatica's annual customer and partner event in Las Vegas last year that the positive revenues and growing customer base may not be enough to fend off an acquisition from a major player.

The company's entry into the software-as-a-service arena with a new Data Loader Service, for example, will allow business users to integrate off-premise data managed by Salesforce.com with their on-premise data.
