Salesforce Acquires Informatica for $8 Billion

(Isstories Editorial):- Chicago, Illinois Jun 5, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – Salesforce just bought Informatica for $8 billion. That’s a big deal in the enterprise data world. Informatica has long been respected for helping companies bring their data together, manage quality, handle governance, and apply AI in real business ways. Now, two major forces are coming together, and it’s going to have a real impact on how businesses handle their data. 

Why Did This Happen? 

Data sits at the center of just about everything. Informatica’s reputation is built on making sense of complicated data and helping organizations actually trust what they’re looking at. Salesforce, as a leader in CRM, needed to get even better at data management–especially now that so many companies want to do more with AI and need to follow strict compliance rules. The Informatica deal gives Salesforce the expertise and tools it was missing.

What Salesforce Gets Out of This 

With Informatica, Salesforce can pull in data from all over, connect it, and give companies a much clearer picture of what’s going on with their business and their customers. Informatica is strong in governance and metadata management, so data stays accurate and lines up with regulations. Data quality is another big win–companies get information they can actually use without worrying about mistakes. Informatica also brings AI features to the table, so businesses can do things like predictive analytics and automation more easily. 

What’s Next for Informatica 

Informatica isn’t going away; it’s going to keep running under its own brand, just with a lot more support and reach now. Its work is going to be even more important as Salesforce brings these strengths into its own products, especially in areas like finance and healthcare where getting data right is critical. 

Why Informatica made sense for Salesforce 

This all happened because Informatica does a great job helping companies bring together complex data, stay compliant, and actually trust their insights. That’s what most organizations want right now.
