Informatica, well-known for data integration products, has announced a roadmap for on-demand data integration services — essentially, data integration across company boundaries.
Starting with online CRM provider salesforce.com, Informatica plans to provide services for integrating SaaS (Software as a Service) applications with company-internal applications. The second phase will focus on enabling SaaS vendors to integrate Informatica integration services in their applications. In the third and final phase, the goal is to provide "a multi-tenant, hosted data integration platform".
