Salesforce has finalized its acquisition of Informatica. This move strengthens its AI-driven enterprise capabilities. Informatica is well-known for cloud data management powered by AI. Salesforce’s acquisition brings Informatica’s key features to its platform. These include data cataloging, integration, governance, quality, privacy, and Master Data Management (MDM). This builds a strong data foundation for Agentforce. It helps the platform operate safely and responsibly in today’s enterprise. “You have to get your data right to get your AI right,” said Salesforce Chair and CEO Marc Benioff. “Data and context is the true fuel of Agentforce, and without clean, connected, trusted data there is no intelligence – only hallucination. Informatica is the trusted platform that turns fragmented enterprise data into context, so every agent can reason, act, and deliver outcomes with precision. When companies get their data right, they get their AI right, and Agentforce becomes unstoppable.”

In addition, Salesforce President and Chief Product Officer Steve Fisher added: “With Informatica, we will deliver a governed and complete data platform that powers more intelligent, contextual, and autonomous experiences across Agentforce 360 – the trusted system connecting humans and AI agents in the enterprise.” The acquisition brings strategic enhancements: strengthening Data 360 for trusted unified data; deeper integration with MuleSoft for end-to-end enterprise data unlock; elevating the Agentforce 360 platform with enterprise-wide metadata and unified pipeline; and delivering richer, context-driven insights in Tableau. Informatica will continue its mission as a part of Salesforce, helping organisations connect, manage and unify AI-ready data across an ecosystem of partners. As part of the closing, Salesforce expects to achieve accretion on a non-GAAP operating margin and earnings per share within 12 months one year sooner than initially committed at deal announcement.
