United States Log In Informatica acquisition news – August 6, 2015 The Informatica Team Remains Committed To Your Success To Our Valued Partners, On behalf of the Informatica team, we would like to reiterate our commitment to your success as we transition from a publicly traded company to one privately held by the Permira funds and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB). Informatica’s mission remains the same: to help you power the data-ready enterprise by delivering leading technologies in “all things data.” As a private company, Informatica will gain greater flexibility to better balance short-term quarterly considerations with long-term multi-year priorities. At this pivotal stage, we believe this flexibility will allow Informatica to help you benefit more from the technology and economic changes happening in the industry. Our industry is transforming from the old world of transaction-centric computing to the new world of interaction-centric computing, while customer preferences are evolving from pay-to-deploy pricing to pay-for-use pricing. As a private company, Informatica is taking steps to create even more value for you by delivering transformative innovation and by evolving our business model. Transformative Innovation Roadmap To Help You Stay Ahead Our industry is transforming from the old world of transaction-centric computing to the new world of interaction-centric computing with the growing adoption of four megatrends: cloud computing, social media, big data and pervasive mobile computing. To help you stay ahead, we will further focus on our transformative innovation roadmap: To help you adopt cloud computing and retain control over your data, we will advance our comprehensive cloud integration service. To help you effectively engage with your customers using new interaction channels including social media, we will deliver the most versatile MDM solutions. To help you realize the promise of big data, we will offer next generation data integration, data quality and data preparation technologies. To protect against breaches in the modern world of perimeter-less pervasive computing, we will further advance our award-winning data security products. Business Model Evolution To Meet Your Preferences Customer preferences are changing from pay-to-deploy capital expenditures to pay-for-use operating expenses, particularly related to newer technologies such as big data and cloud integration. To meet these preferences, we will expand our subscription offerings including Informatica Cloud, Informatica Data-as-a-Service, PowerCenter Big Data Edition, Informatica Rev and Secure@Source. In fact, over the past five years, the contribution from our subscription products has quadrupled to almost 20% of total new software revenue. We will continue to grow our traditional license products while growing our new subscription offerings faster to meet customers’ preferences.
