November 24, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Informatica Corp. (NASDAQ: INFA), the world’s number one independent provider of data integration software, announced that Banque Accord in France has standardized on Informatica to accelerate decision-making throughout the business, optimize business agility, and increase efficiency. Informatica will be the cornerstone of a data integration strategy geared to delivering timely, trustworthy data both across the bank and to its extended partner network.

The bank, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Auchan group, specializes in financial products and services including payment solutions, savings, insurance and private and international payment cards. The company was previously reliant on a disparate, fragmented suite of systems to support its three million French customers.

By introducing a unified view of each customer relationship across all products and channels, based on the Informatica Platform, Banque Accord would be uniquely positioned to target new lines of business, cross-sell and up-sell financial services solutions to existing customers, and deliver a more consistent and rewarding service experience. Integrating information across the business will enable the bank to reduce the costs associated with running multiple data integration solutions and diverse business intelligence tools. Ultimately, Informatica will help reduce the costs associated with infrastructure, development, support, maintenance, and change management.

Informatica and Teradata partnered to provide Banque Accord with a powerful, flexible integration solution for data integration and data warehousing. Together, they will help the bank enhance visibility across business units, synchronise mission-critical operations, achieve transparency for regulatory compliance, and reduce costs and implementation risks.

By placing right-time information at the fingertips of managers and executives, the Informatica Platform will accelerate decision-making, increase agility, and deliver a competitive edge in the bank’s strategic planning. Banque Accord chose Informatica based on a rigorous proof of concept . The determining factors were the market proven quality of the solution set, its rich functionality, and professional nature of the Informatica team.
