Informatica World– Informatica Corporation , the world’s number one independent provider of data integration software, today announced a new ISV partner program and technology partner network to enable Informatica partners and their customers to more quickly and economically unlock the power of data through rapidly implemented connectivity across any number of applications and data sources.

Connectivity with other cloud and on-premise apps is essential to the success of any business application today. As the number of data sources continues to multiply, application administrators and developers are increasingly burdened by the costs and mounting complexity associated with building and maintaining the data access and integration links.

For Salesforce users, the new Informatica Cloud Data Wizard for Salesforce is a native Salesforce next-generation data loader app that provides one-click integration between Salesforce and external sources – including SaaS apps such as those from NetSuite, cloud storage apps such as those from Box, CSV files and other cloud and on-premise apps. More than 100 Informatica customers and partners already have used the Data Wizard beta to dramatically reduce the time spent transforming data on-the-fly, while loading it into Salesforce. This enables self-service for a broad range of users, such as Salesforce admins and business analysts, and accelerates Salesforce implementations with pre-built integration templates.

ISVs also need a more cost-effective way to connect their applications to the broader ecosystem.  The new Informatica Vibe Ready Partner Program and Technology Partner Network are designed to provide turnkey data access and integration for ISVs so they can concentrate on application innovation while bringing new connected applications to market faster.
