Informatica and Salesforce Deepen AI Partnership to Power Smarter Customer Experiences
Las Vegas, [May, 2025] – At Informatica World, Informatica (NYSE: INFA) announced an expanded collaboration with Salesforce to integrate its Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) with Salesforce Agentforce, enabling enterprises to deploy AI agents fueled by trusted, real-time customer data.
Bringing Trusted Data to AI-Powered Workflows
The integration centers on Informatica’s Master Data Management (MDM), which distills fragmented customer data into unified, accurate “golden records.” These records will enhance Agentforce AI agents—used by sales and service teams—to deliver:
- Hyper-personalized engagements (behavioral insights, preferences, consent status like GDPR/CCPA)
- Context-aware customer support (real-time data for higher satisfaction scores)
- Smarter sales strategies (360° customer views across all enterprise systems)
“Data is foundational for agentic AI,” said Tyler Carlson, SVP of Business Development at Salesforce. “With Informatica’s MDM, Salesforce customers can ground AI interactions in high-quality data for more targeted service and engagement.”
Key Capabilities (Available H2 2025 on Salesforce AppExchange)
- Enriched Customer Profiles
- Buying behavior, product affinity, compliance status
- Complex household & organizational hierarchies
- AI-Optimized Service Tools
- Context-rich support interactions
- Automated compliance checks (e.g., GDPR)
- Sales Intelligence Boost
- Unified customer insights across all backend systems
- Segmentation for personalized outreach
“This is about action, not just insights,” emphasized Rik Tamm-Daniels, GVP of Strategic Ecosystems at Informatica. “We’re embedding reliable enterprise data directly into Agentforce to drive measurable outcomes.”
Why It Matters
As AI agents handle more customer interactions, data quality becomes critical. This partnership ensures Agentforce operates on clean, governed data—reducing hallucinations and bias while improving relevance.
The MDM SaaS tools for Agentforce will enter pilot testing soon, with general availability slated for late 2025.
