Salesforce has acquired Informatica for $8 billion, marking a significant step in enhancing its data management and AI offerings. This partnership aims to create a 'unified architecture for agentic AI' by integrating Informatica's data management services with Salesforce's existing products such as Data Cloud, MuleSoft, and Tableau. Salesforce president Steve Fisher emphasized the importance of comprehensive data understanding for effective AI solutions. This acquisition is Salesforce's largest since it purchased Slack in 2021, reflecting its commitment to evolving its technological portfolio and AI capabilities.
"Truly autonomous, trustworthy AI agents need the most comprehensive understanding of their data," Salesforce president and CTO Steve Fisher said in a statement. "The combination of Informatica's capabilities with Salesforce's Agentforce platform delivers exactly this."
Adding Informatica's data catalog, integration, governance, privacy and data management services to Salesforce's Data Cloud, MuleSoft and Tableau products will provide a 'unified architecture for agentic AI,' said Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. It will 'enable autonomous agents to deliver smarter, safer, and more scalable outcomes for every company.'
