Salesforce has announced an $8 billion acquisition of Informatica to bolster its data management systems and enhance its agentic AI services. The integration aims to combine Informatica's advanced data management with Salesforce's existing platforms, facilitating better data transparency and governance. This move aligns with Salesforce's strategy to further develop its Agentforce service, which has gained significant traction in various sectors since its launch, allowing AI agents to provide more effective support across enterprises. The acquisition is seen as a step towards establishing a unified architecture for responsible and scalable AI operations in the enterprise data market.
The combination of Informatica's rich data catalog, data integration, governance, quality and privacy, metadata management, and Master Data Management (MDM) services with the Salesforce platform will establish a unified architecture for agentic AI - enabling AI agents to operate safely, responsibly, and at scale across the modern enterprise.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff emphasized that the deal will create the 'most complete, agent-ready data platform in the industry', enhancing the capabilities of autonomous agents.
