2011 Leadership Awards were also won by the following Informatica executives and organizations:
- Chief Financial Officer - Sponsored by CFO Earl Fry and leveraging technology from Ipreo, Informatica implemented a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution to enable the company to identify and track interactions with investors and profile and analyze its investor base. Consequently, executive and investor relations teams have a far more efficient process for sharing information, have developed better insights and have been able to translate those insights into a more diversified shareholder base.
- IT Performance Management - Leveraging technology from Delphix and Informatica, CIO Tony Young spearheaded a master data management (MDM) initiative that has enabled Informatica to correlate and synchronize customer data in order to improve customer service and help sales create more value out of customer interactions. The resulting 360-degree view of customer and prospect interactions has led to more accurate lead routing, more targeted and successful marketing efforts and increased revenues.
