President - Informatica

If you like information as much as I do, you'll enjoy working with us. We have just completed a serious restructuring of Informatica and one that has brought about, both visually and behind the scenes, an unprecedented amount of innovation, collaboration and positive change. Without dipping too much into platitudes, I'll make you three promises that you won't get anywhere else (and if you do find similar claims, don't hesitate to let me know): You will never again have to wonder where to get trustworthy advice. It's now central to the Risk Advisor service. Your staff will tell you that workplace education is no longer a tedious chore, but an engaging event they look forward to. You will successfully complete (and salvage) more projects than ever before. I'm often asked how we're doing in light of the weaker economy and the stronger competitive landscape. For us, the reality has been that clients are more educated and discerning every year, which means that they know the difference between executive-level management consulting and marketing language. Security and privacy budgets are less and less a subset of IT expenditures, and our clients now demand more on-going security solutions, rather than demonstrating one-off bursts of interest. For me, this is an exciting time that shows an improvement in enterprise risk maturity and compliance, a higher degree of executive understanding of accountability and investment in risk management, and an improved level of awareness and vigilance from a more educated workforce. We couldn't ask for anything more, so with the new site we have also unveiled a set of recurring solutions that allows clients to subscribe to the highest level of management consulting: a dedicated Risk Advisor. They can also sign up for continuous security testing and analysis, recurring employee education programs and of course, expert-led project management. With the new site comes an unprecedented array of options for interacting and I hope you take advantage of them, use them to share our content if you find it valuable, and maintain an open line of communication with us. So welcome to Informatica 2.0. I hope you enjoy your relationship with us. Claudiu Popa President & CEO Informatica Corporation LinkedIN Facebook Twitter Blog
