Informatica from Salesforce Expands Microsoft Fabric Integration to Accelerate AI-Powered Data Management
Redwood City, Calif., March 18, 2026 — Informatica from Salesforce, a leader in AI-powered enterprise cloud data management, today announced deeper integration with Microsoft at the Microsoft Fabric Community Conference in Atlanta. The press release highlights general availability and expanded pod capacity designed to strengthen a trusted data foundation for Informatica customers using analytics and AI across Microsoft Fabric and Azure.
The big idea behind this announcement is simple: bring together the powerful data integration, governance, and AI capabilities of Informatica with the unified analytics and fabric-architecture of Microsoft Fabric. For customers, this means a more scalable, trustworthy foundation for AI-driven insights that cross-cloud boundaries—from on-prem data to the modern data lakehouse built on Fabric and Azure.
Why this matters for Salesforce customers and partners
- Stronger data foundations: A unified, governed data layer helps ensure that AI models trained in one cloud can be trusted when deployed across others.
- Faster time to value: Pre-built connectors and optimized data pipelines reduce integration time, letting data teams uncover insights sooner.
- AI-enabled decisioning across platforms: Analytics and AI capabilities can span Microsoft Fabric, Azure, and Salesforce data assets for more complete customer views.
- Scalability via pod expansion: Expanded pods support higher data throughput and more simultaneous AI workloads, enabling large enterprises to scale with confidence.
At the conference, Informatica highlighted how this deeper Fabric integration complements Salesforce's broader data and AI strategy. Customers can expect tighter interoperability between data ingestion, quality, and governance workflows in Informatica's platform and the fabric-based analytics and data engineering capabilities from Microsoft Fabric and Azure.
- Unified customer 360: Bring together Salesforce customer data with Fabric-native analytics to create richer, privacy-conscious customer profiles for smarter engagement.
