The Redwood City, California-based company saw overall sales for the quarter rise 24% to $65m. Licenses grew even more solidly, up 29% to $28.2m. Profits for the quarter stood at $8m, overturning a loss of $8.6m a year ago.
The company is poised to release a new 8.0 version of its PowerCenter platform at the end of October.
Separately, the company inked a three-year global deal with German business applications provider SAP AG to implement data consolidation and data migration projects for SAP customers.
Under a so-called Master Relationship Agreement both companies’ professional services organizations will collaborate over best practices for data profiling (an important first step for any consolidation or migration project) and other data integration technologies.
Informatica and SAP have more than 400 joint customers. Last year SAP awarded Informatica a CA-DMI (Data Migration Interface) certification to help customers migrate onto the SAP applications platform.
Despite growing up on a diet of ETL and data warehousing, Informatica now cites data consolidation and migration are its two fastest growing businesses areas.
