REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Informatica Corporation (Nasdaq:INFA), the number one independent provider of data integration software, today announced that for the fourth consecutive year Informatica received top marks in Customer Loyalty in the 2009 Data Integration Customer Satisfaction survey conducted by independent research firm TNS, a world leader in market insight and information.
Annually, the survey polls customers of data integration technology vendors, to determine customer perceptions of each vendor and comparisons of all the vendors across different measures. The survey also measures the relevance of each area of numerous areas of customer satisfaction to determine how strong or weak the vendors are in each area.
Customer Loyalty
As in recent years, some of the high-level performance measurements that customers were polled on include 1) intent to repurchase; 2) positive referenceability; and 3) purchase at the same or higher level as a combined measure for all three as expressed in ProCLI (or the loyalty score). In this year's survey Informatica scored high in Customer Loyalty, and in the "Overall Quality of Customer Support" category, Informatica registered its highest rating for Customer Satisfaction.
Attributes tied to Customer Loyalty include:
- Ease of doing business
- Overall product quality

Indeed, 86% of Informatica customers surveyed recognize Informatica as the technology leader, and over 90% intend to repurchase more product.

"The survey results once again underscore our commitment to customer satisfaction and we are proud to have again achieved top ranking in customer loyalty."
