Overview
Informatica Corporation is a leading provider of business analytics software that helps our customers to accelerate the integration, analysis and delivery of critical corporate information. Using our products, business users and IT staff are more productive in their tasks. Business users gain valuable insight they can use to help improve business performance, increase customer satisfaction and enhance competitive advantage. Senior IT personnel are equipped with infrastructure that can help them deploy analytic solutions faster, cheaper and with less risk than several other alternatives in the market.
Over the last two decades, companies have made significant investments in a variety of transactional applications, like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) software to automate specific business functions, including general ledger, human resources, customer relationships and supply chain. The ultimate goal of deploying these applications is to make businesses more efficient through automation. However, these transaction applications generate massive volumes of information in disparate software systems that typically do not talk to each other or share the data. Organizations are now finding that the strategic value of information technology lies beyond process automation. Companies are realizing the need to have one unified and complete view of all of the information about their customers, suppliers and operations all in one place, in order to make better decisions about their business for competitive advantage. Then, armed with one complete view of their business, information workers can use that information to collaborate internally or externally with ones customers, suppliers and partners to improve performance and productivity.
Informatica addresses this need with a comprehensive suite of business analytic software products. Our products are designed to integrate data from the enterprises various systems and create analytic solutions that deliver insight to business users across the entire organization, helping them to make better decisions, ultimately turning information into competitive advantage. Informatica is the leading provider of data integration products. Our newer data warehouse modules, which pre-package metrics and domain knowledge from fourteen different business areas, allow an IT buyer to build a data mart or data warehouse faster than building it by hand. Our business intelligence platform provides easy-to-use, broadly deployable dashboards, scorecards and intuitive guided analysis for all business users to better manage the performance of their organization. When combined, our data integration products, data warehouse modules and our business intelligence platform enable and accelerate the deployment of custom or pre-packaged analytic application suites, allowing enterprises to improve strategic aspects of their business performance, including direct and

We believe our products provide our customers with the following primary benefits:
| | information integrated from a wide range of business functions and disparate data sources into one unified, holistic view of the enterprise; | |
| | packaged and extensible data warehouse technology to help organizations build their analytic infrastructure faster, cheaper and with less risk; | |
| | broad deployment of personalized, Web-based business intelligence to information workers across the enterprise; and | |
| | custom or pre-packaged analytic application suites that help business users manage the performance of their organization. |
We have over 1,700 customers from a wide variety of industries ranging from high technology to manufacturing, and from financial services to telecommunications. We also maintain relationships with a variety of strategic partners to jointly develop, market, sell and/ or implement our solutions. Our significant strategic partners include Accenture, BEA Systems, BearingPoint, Deloitte Consulting, HP, i2 Technologies, IBM, JD Edwards, Manugistics, Mitsubishi Electric, PeopleSoft, Siebel Systems, Sybase, Teradata Division of NCR Corporation, TIBCO, Vitria and webMethods. We market and sell our software and services through our direct sales force in the United States as well as Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. We also have relationships with distributors in various regions, including Asia-Pacific, Australia, Europe, Japan and Latin America, who sublicense our products and provide service and support within their territories. More than twenty-five independent software vendors, including several of our strategic partners, have licensed our technology for inclusion in their products.

Our Products
Our business analytics products enable our customers to integrate data from multiple disparate systems, implement data warehouses more quickly and deploy business intelligence solutions and analytic applications to better manage the performance of their organization.

Our Market Positioning
Comprehensive Analytics Product Offering. Our strategy is to provide our customers with a comprehensive suite of analytic products to help them quickly and cost effectively deploy analytic solutions to improve their business effectiveness. The combination of our data integration products, data warehouse modules and business intelligence platform provides the industry with the most comprehensive analytic application suites. This full stack helps allow us to offer our customers a highly attractive and differentiated value proposition in terms of lower total cost of ownership, faster time to value and lower risk to business changes.
Real-Time, Highly Scalable and Flexible Data Integration. Our products are capable of supporting the needs of large global enterprises due to our highly scalable and extensible architecture. This year we introduced the incorporation of real-time data into our data integration product offering. In addition, our infrastructure products are developed to be compatible with major software applications. Our platform and set of supporting products are both flexible and extensible, allowing customers to build or extend sophisticated analytic applications to meet their specific requirements. The open architecture design of our products enables our customers to support and inter-operate with a wide range of computing platforms, applications and data sources.
Modular, Plug and Play Approach to Business Analytics. Our data warehouse modules form the basis for analytic solutions that span the value-chain (including CRM, Finance, HR and Supply Chain) to be
7
Broadly Deployable Business Intelligence. Our vision for the market is the democratization of information. Our business intelligence platform is based on an industry-standard J2EE (internet) architecture that provides significant scalability and manageability advantages, and allows customers to easily deploy our product to thousands of users across the enterprise. Our business intelligence platform is built with modern, intuitive dashboards, scorecards and guided analysis tools, and can be pushed out to any wireless phone, PDA, or other handheld device. The open design of our business intelligence platform also allows IT users to easily customize our product to meet the specific needs of an organization.
Significant Installed Customer Base and Community of Developers. We have an installed customer base that spans a wide range of industries. As of December 31, 2002, our products had been licensed by over 1,700 customers around the world, and to 79% of the Fortune 100 companies. The Informatica Developer Network, created in 2001, has grown to over 5,000 members in sixty-four countries each using Informaticas products to build their own data warehouses and analytic solutions. Our success at each customer site serves to strengthen our brand awareness while providing an opportunity to up-sell and cross-sell our new products in our analytic stack.
Strong Base of Leading Strategic Partners. We have alliances and strategic partnerships with leading enterprise software providers, systems integrators and hardware vendors. These alliances provide sales and marketing leverage and access to required technology, while also providing complementary products and services to our joint customers. More than thirty-five companies now OEM Informaticas core products, including i2 Technologies, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft and Siebel Systems. In sum, more than 300 companies market and resell our products around the world.
Research and Development
As of December 31, 2002, we employed 206 people in our research and development organization. This team is responsible for the design, development and release of our products. The group is organized into four disciplines: development, quality assurance, documentation and program management. Members from each discipline, along with a product-marketing manager from our marketing department, form separate product teams that work closely with sales, marketing, services, customers and prospects to better understand market needs and user requirements. These product teams utilize a well-defined software development methodology that we believe enables us to deliver products that satisfy real business needs for the global market while also meeting commercial quality expectations.
When appropriate, we also utilize third parties to expand the capacity and technical expertise of our internal research and development team. On occasion, we have licensed third-party technology. We believe this approach shortens time-to-market without compromising competitive position or product quality, and we plan to continue to draw on third-party resources as needed in the future.
In 2002, Informatica made use of a small offshore development team based in the Netherlands for work on portions of our business intelligence platform. Going forward, we will continue to explore the use of offshore development, particularly in India, to increase development productivity. Our research and development expenditures were $45.6 million in 2002, $46.3 million in 2001 and $26.5 million in 2000.
Sales, Marketing and Distribution
We market and sell software and services through a direct sales force in the United States as well as Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and also through distributors in various regions around the world. As of December 31, 2002, we employed 290 people in our sales and marketing organization worldwide.
8
Marketing programs are focused on creating awareness as well as lead generation and customer references for our products. These programs are targeted at key executives such as chief executive officers, chief information officers, other information technology managers and vice presidents of specific functional areas, such as marketing, sales, service, finance, human resources, manufacturing, distribution and procurement. Our marketing personnel engage in a variety of activities, including positioning our software products and services, conducting public relations programs, establishing and maintaining relationships with industry analysts, producing product collateral and generating qualified sales leads.
Our sales process consists of several phases: lead generation, opportunity qualification, needs assessment, product demonstration, proposal generation and contract negotiation. Although the typical sales cycle requires three to six months, some sales cycles in the past have lasted substantially longer, particularly the sales cycle for our analytic application suites. In a number of instances, our relationships with systems integrators and other strategic partners have reduced sales cycles by generating qualified sales leads, making initial customer contacts and assessing needs prior to our introduction to the customer. Also, partners have assisted in the creation of presentations and demonstrations, which we believe enhances our overall value proposition and competitive position.
In addition to our direct sales efforts, we distribute our products through systems integrators, resellers, distributors and OEM partners in the United States and internationally. Systems integrators typically have expertise in vertical or functional markets. They resell our products, bundling them in most cases with their broader service offerings. In other cases, they influence direct sales of our products. Distributors sublicense our products and provide service and support within their territories. OEMs embed portions of our technology in their product offerings.
Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights
Our success depends upon our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret rights, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. As part of our confidentiality procedures, we generally enter into non-disclosure agreements with our employees, distributors and corporate partners and into license agreements with respect to our software, documentation and other proprietary information. In addition, we have six patents granted in the U.S., sixteen patent applications pending in the U.S., and twenty-five corresponding international patent applications pending.
Competition
The market for our products is highly competitive, quickly evolving and subject to rapidly changing technology. A large part of that market consists of custom-built solutions that are often hand-coded. As such, Informaticas primary competition consists of custom-built data integration, data warehouse, business intelligence, and analytic applications. We experience competition in the market from Ascential Software, Business Objects S.A., Cognos Inc., Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. and MicroStrategy, Inc. In addition, we compete or may compete against database vendors and enterprise applications vendors that currently offer, or may develop, products with some functionality that compete with our products. Such potential competitors include IBM Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation, PeopleSoft, SAP and Siebel Systems.
Many of our competitors or potential competitors have longer operating histories, substantially greater financial, technical, marketing or other resources, or greater name recognition than we do. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Competition could seriously impede our ability to sell additional products and services on terms favorable to us. Our current and potential competitors may develop and market new technologies that render our existing or future products obsolete, unmarketable or less competitive. If our competitors develop similar or superior functionality, we may have difficulty competing more substantially on the basis of price. Our current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with other solution providers, thereby increasing the ability of their products to address the needs of our prospective customers. Our current and potential competitors may establish or strengthen
9
We currently compete more on the basis of our products functionality than on the basis of price. Additionally, we compete on the basis of certain factors, including:
|
product performance product features scalability ease of use |
product reliability analytic capabilities open architecture time-to-market |
customer support product pricing integrated product stack low cost of ownership |
We believe that we currently compete favorably with respect to the above factors. See Risk Factors The market in which we sell products is highly competitive.
Employees
As of December 31, 2002, we had a total of 796 employees, including 206 people in research and development, 290 people in sales and marketing, 196 people in consulting, customer support and training and 104 people in general and administrative services. None of our employees is represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider employee relations to be good.

It names as defendants Informatica Corporation, one of our current officers, one of our former officers, and several investment banking firms that served as underwriters of our April 29, 1999 initial public offering and September 28, 2000 secondary public offering. The amended complaint alleges liability as to all defendants under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on the grounds that the registration statement for the offerings

We are aware that similar allegations have been made in other lawsuits filed in the Southern District of New York challenging over 300 other initial public offerings and secondary offerings conducted in 1999 and 2000. Those cases have been consolidated for pretrial purposes before the Honorable Judge Shira A. Scheindlin. On July 15, 2002, we and our affiliated individual defendants (as well as all other issuer defendants) filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On February 19, 2003, the Court ruled on the motions to dismiss. The Court denied the motions to dismiss the claims under the Securities Act of 1933 in all but ten cases, including the case involving Informatica. The Court denied the motion to dismiss the claim under Section 10(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against Informatica and 184 other issuer defendants. The Court denied the motion to dismiss the claims under Section 10(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Informatica individual defendants and sixty-two other individual defendants. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims against us, and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously.
On July 15, 2002, we filed a patent infringement action in U.S. District Court in Northern California against Acta Technology, Inc., asserting that certain Acta products infringe on three of our patents: U.S. Patent No. 6,014,670, entitled Apparatus and Method for Performing Data Transformations in Data Warehousing; U.S. Patent No. 6,339,775, entitled Apparatus and Method for Performing Data Transformations in Data Warehousing (this patent is a continuation-in-part of and claims the benefit of U.S. Patent No. 6,014,670); and U.S. Patent No. 6,208,990, entitled Method and Architecture for Automated Optimization of ETL Throughput in Data Warehousing Applications. On July 17, 2002, we filed an amended complaint alleging that Acta products also infringe on one additional patent: U.S. Patent No. 6,044,374, entitled Object References for Sharing Metadata in Data Marts. In the suit, we are seeking an injunction against future sales of the infringing Acta products, as well as damages for past sales of the infringing products. We have asserted that Actas infringement of the Informatica patents was willful and deliberate. Acta answered the complaint on September 5, 2002, and filed counterclaims against us seeking a declaration that each patent asserted is not infringed and is invalid and unenforceable. Acta did not make any claims for monetary relief against us. The case is currently in the claim construction and discovery phase.
We are aware that a punitive class action complaint titled Lui v. Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation et al, No. 03-20459, has been filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida. The complaint purports to allege securities fraud, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation claims against: (1) Credit Suisse First Boston; (2) numerous companies whose initial public offerings were underwritten by Credit Suisse First Boston, including Informatica; and (3) certain officers or directors of those companies, including two individuals affiliated with Informatica at the time of the initial public offering. No specific amount of damages is claimed.
We are also a party to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, arising from the normal course of business activities.
In managements opinion, resolution of any of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or its financial position. However, depending on the amount and timing, an unfavorable resolution of these matters could materially and adversely affect our future results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period.
