Data and Analytics (D&A) and AI – Review of Informatica’s Product Announcements at Informatica World 2025

At Informatica World 2025, Informatica highlighted its increasing focus on AI-native orchestration through the introduction of AI Agent Engineering. This no-code, metadata-aware service enables enterprises to build, scale, and govern complex multi-agent workflows across their data estates. Central to this evolution is an enhanced Master Data Management (MDM) foundation, now augmented with CLAIRE GPT. This upgrade brings natural language-based metadata exploration and glossary generation to data accessibility’s forefront. These advances anchor Informatica’s broader Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) strategy. This strategy also features the expanded CLAIRE® AI suite, including CLAIRE copilots for guided data and application integration and the CLAIRE Agents Suite for autonomous management of ingestion, lineage, and quality. Collectively, these updates mark a decisive step toward metadata-driven, AI-enabled enterprise data transformation.

The announcements demonstrated Informatica’s intent to unify governance, integration, and engineering across multi-cloud environments by leveraging AI agents that support ingestion, lineage, quality, and exploration. Informatica also introduced integrations with AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Microsoft Fabric, NVIDIA AI Enterprise, and Salesforce Agentforce, enhancing its appeal as a cloud-agnostic solution provider.

Everest Group’s analysis acknowledges these capabilities’ strategic relevance in meeting enterprise demands for AI-ready, governed data environments. However, concerns remain around usability, unclear pricing and licensing models, and the limited discussion around FinOps and SLAs, which may inhibit enterprise adoption at scale.
