Informatica signed repeat business with 158 customers in the second quarter, including Applied Materials, Lockheed Martin, Sun Microsystems and Wachovia Securities. New customer wins in the quarter, which totaled 48 organizations, include ACNielsen, North Carolina State University, Singapore Health Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Wall Street greeted Informatica's earnings news enthusiastically. The company's shares jumped more than 15 percent Friday, setting a new 52-week high during mid-day trading.
