After a year of rumors, Salesforce has officially acquired cloud data
management firm Informatica in an $8 billion equity deal. "Under the terms of
the deal, Salesforce will pay $25 in cash per share for Informatica's Class A
and Class B-1 common stock, adjusting for its prior investment in the
company," notes TechCrunch. From the report: Informatica was founded in 1993
and works with more than 5,000 customers across more than 100 countries. The
company had a $7.1 billion market cap at the time of publication. This
acquisition will help bolster Salesforce's agentic AI ambitions, the
company's press release stated, by giving the company more data
infrastructure and governance to help its AI agents run more "safely,
responsibly, and at scale across the modern enterprise." "Together, we'll
supercharge Agentforce, Data Cloud, Tableau, MuleSoft, and Customer 360,
enabling autonomous agents to act with intelligence, context, and confidence
across every enterprise," Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said in the press
release. "This is a transformational step in delivering enterprise-grade AI
that is safe, responsible, and deeply integrated with the world's data."
