REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 15, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- News Facts:
- Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), the world’s number one independent provider of data integration software, today announced that Pac-Van, a division of General Finance Corporation, is using Informatica Cloud to power a seamless, end-to-end sales information environment across Salesforce CRM, its back-office Microsoft Dynamics ERP system and McGraw-Hill Construction’s Dodge Network.
- A national provider of storage containers, mobile offices and modular buildings, Pac-Van relies on Informatica Cloud to automatically synchronize account, opportunity, quote and tax information across its Microsoft Dynamics NAV system-of-record and Salesforce CRM. In 20-minute, hourly and 24-hour intervals Pac-Van is able to achieve more timely, accurate and complete sales information for account representatives, sales management and finance.
- Pac-Van also uses Informatica Cloud to automatically integrate new construction data from Dodge Network into Salesforce CRM as sales leads on a daily basis, thus provisioning its sales team with approximately one thousand fresh leads or lead updates each day.

- Enhance Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance efforts - The Informatica solution is enabling Pac-Van to maintain continuity of data and increase data quality across Salesforce CRM and Microsoft Dynamics NAV to support the company’s SOX compliance activities.

- "Having Informatica Cloud implemented quickly and ready to go before deploying salesforce.com to our sales team was key to the success of our CRM initiative," said Jay Moore, new media marketing associate and salesforce.com administrator, Pac-Van. "Otherwise, our sales reps would have been in two separate systems and user adoption of Salesforce CRM would have been low. Overall, Informatica brings us adaptability and dependability, which are essential for keeping users happy with how things are working across our key business systems and processes."
- "Growing companies like Pac-Van need flexible, easy-to-use solutions in order to meet both their current and evolving data integration needs," said Ron Papas, general manager, Informatica Cloud.

With Informatica Cloud, companies such as Pac-Van can reliably integrate data across cloud applications and on-premise systems, enabling them to maximize their Return on Data."
