INFORMIX ANNOUNCES SITE ON WORLD WIDE WEB

COMPANY IS FIRST INDEPENDENT DATABASE VENDOR TO OFFER ONLINE INFORMATION TO
CUSTOMERS VIA WORLD WIDE WEB

MENLO PARK, Calif., (January 3, 1995) -- Informix Software, Inc.
(NASDAQ:IFMX), the leader in parallel processing database technology,
announced today the expansion of its site on the World Wide Web (WWW) to a
fully interactive Web server, called InformixLink, which will provide
users with easy access to a variety of information on Informix products,
services, partners and customers.

Informix was the first independent database vendor to offer a site on the
Web in 1994, and is now the first database company to offer a complete
interactive Web site. Informix's WWW site will be accessible at
http://www.informix.com/ by January 4.

"This announcement is our response to the growing needs of our customers
for more immediate, readily accessible information about our company,
products and services," said Jim Hendrickson, vice president of Customer
Services. "The Informix Web site will give customers a current resource of
information whenever and from wherever they need it."

WWW Site an Extension of Original InformixLink

The new Informix Web site is an extension of an existing service which
provides interactive, online, subscription information service for
Informix customers, resellers, partners and developers. The original
InformixLink, now called InformixLink Classic is still available.

Although the new InformixLink web site will be available to the general
public, a portion of the site will be restricted to subscription
customers. These subscribers will now be able to access a "members only"
portion of the web site with access to information such as product
documentation, training, software and technical notes, in addition to all
of the publicly available information. Informix employees will be able to
access information on corporate policies, programs, benefits and internal
job opportunities.
