added 000s to the number instead of writing (USB 000s) as it makes more sense. 206.169.93.118 (talk) 21:04, 21 August 2012 (UTC)Reply


Disguised ad?

This article blows. Reads like a press release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.56.9.164 (talk) 19:50, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I completely agree, this article servers only to promote a newer flagship from the company and is a thinly veiled press release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.102.227.63 (talk) 19:35, 1 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'll see you and raise you one -- I'd recommend this page be deleted unless a non-Informatica author submits completely re-written content before, let's say, 30 Nov 2011. Matthew C. Clarke 23:24, 6 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

I agree as well. Isn't it time to delete it now? Jhertel (talk) 14:04, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

2015 and this poor page still lives. I wonder how things are deleted from Wikipedia... Nujjer (talk) 19:12, 7 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

This is still a poor article. I disagree that it should be deleted: Informatica are a leading vendor for data management solutions and therefore notable. My main complaint with the article is that it quickly dives into the low-level detail of a tiny part of the product portfolio - it doesn't give a sensible high-level overview of what Informatica are all about. If I had the time... M62902 (talk) 10:35, 19 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I agree with M62902, Informatica are a notable company. I think the section on their products is in decent shape at that granularity, but there needs to be a rewrite of the company's history, mission, and definition of what they are (and are not). The links saying they "grow through acquisition" are from 2009 and 2010. But the article as a whole is clearly not a press release - I don't get a hagiographic or triumphant tone from it at all. Maybe that was different in 2011. Denzera (talk) 17:33, 4 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Kind of company

edit

Informatica Corporation is an independent provider of data integration software

Maybe this article should also point out that Informatica is used in many countries to denote what is called Computer Science in the English language? - GideonKlok (talk) 07:39, 13 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

If you feel strongly about that, then create a disambiguation page. Fordsfords (talk) 16:01, 29 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
A cross-language disambiguation makes no sense and would hugely inflate wiki if implemented consistantly! In this case the meaning is hardly a surprise and pretty obvious to English-speakers (Information, Information Technology etc.). May make more sense for things like Strada or Marmite that are less obvious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.83.30.197 (talk) 13:06, 6 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

NPOV

edit

As stated above, this article reads like a press release or a puff piece. SDY (talk) 14:51, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

The Website talks mainly about a product called "Informatica 9" - it would be good if someone could explain the relationship between that and the packages mentioned here.

I agree it sounded like an ad. I deleted all the sentences which seemed purely promotional, left only core facts like major product names. Jonathan Stray (talk) 20:08, 11 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Lead to be improved

edit

The lead is missing content. It should include what kind of company it is. The existing content seems superfluous, except for the geographical information (location). --Mortense (talk) 15:45, 16 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Suggested additions: Informatica provides software for data integration and Big Data to large companies. The company went public in May, 1999.

Architecture section

edit

This can't possibly make sense to anyone who doesn't already use the software — Preceding unsigned comment added by 54.240.196.186 (talk) 20:14, 27 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

In any case, Informatica can now be spoken of in the past tense.

edit
Informatica the corporation and Informatica the software program (written years ago) and the suite of programs (now owned by others) that Informatica became are three very different subjects. Several historical articles may make sense. Pretending there exists a program or a corporation singularly identified as Informatica should probably stop soon.
