Endeca to Integrate Informatica`s PowerCenter and PowerExchange with the Endeca
Information Access Platform for Improved Enterprise Search
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Endeca Technologies, Inc., a search applications company, today announced a
partnership with Informatica to OEM PowerCenter and PowerExchange from
Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), the world`s number one independent
provider of data integration software. Endeca will integrate Informatica`s
PowerCenter and PowerExchange, part of the industry-leading Informatica
Platform, with the McKinley release of the Endeca Information Access Platform.
Together, these technologies provide a complete solution for unifying data from
databases, warehouses, and enterprise business systems with content from product
lifecycle management (PLM) and enterprise content management (ECM) systems,
providing greater visibility across disparate information for improved daily
decision-making.

"Business professionals and IT groups alike increasingly look for applications
that create a single view of information across a broad variety of relevant
sources," said Hadley Reynolds, director, search & digital marketplace
technologies, IDC. "IDC has identified this trend as unified access to
information, and we project that the software that provides these composite
views will become a core element in tomorrow`s enterprise infrastructure.
Alliances like this one between Endeca and Informatica will accelerate the
development and adoption of applications that blend structured and unstructured
information to give the business a better handle on decision-making."

The partnership allows Endeca customers to leverage industry standard software
for integrating data to feed a search application. For customers who already
have Informatica deployed, they can use skills they already have in house. For
customers who do not, they can tap the large number of consultants already
familiar with Informatica`s products. In all cases, Endeca`s rich feature set
around semi-structured content acquisition and enrichment can be combined with
Informatica`s existing offerings. As a result, the time and costs associated
with deploying Endeca`s search applications are greatly reduced.

"With Informatica, Endeca is extending their data acquisition capabilities
allowing them to index a broader set of enterprise data. Endeca customers can
better access highly-valuable information assets, leveraging it for improved
daily decision-making," said Harry Gould, senior vice president, Worldwide
Alliances, Informatica. "With deep expertise in semi-structured information,
Endeca technology is ideal for the thousands of companies that rely on
Informatica to lower IT costs and gain greater business value from their
information assets."

"Informatica has a proven track record of success in helping the world`s leading
companies leverage their information assets to grow revenues, improve
profitability, and increase customer loyalty," said Jason Purcell, senior vice
president of marketing and product management, Endeca. "By integrating with and
re-selling industry standard data integration software, our customers can use
skills they already have to populate their search applications with enterprise
data, reducing deployment time and costs. Our collaboration allows us to
accelerate the value we can bring to the market by allowing us to concentrate
our R&D efforts on our core technology, while offering our customers a proven
