The share market would lynch any board that acquired Informatica and didn't hold on to all the license revenue it brings in. I don't think Informatica is going to get acquired by anyone but it would be interesting to see Talend at Sun - especially with the global demand for data integration tools growing at more than 20% a year - but don't they already have an open source ETL and data quality tool in ETL Integrator? Oracle, IBM and SAP are also not looking for ETL so the tricky part is finding a company who can afford the price tag. Thanks Bertrand - I was joking.
