Informatica's Spring launch of its platform integrates its data management platform with the key enterprise data platforms as well as a preview of its CLAIRE Copilot for Data Integration.
The product launch lands as Informatica named Krish Vitaldevara, a veteran of Microsoft, Google and NetApp, is chief product officer. Vitaldevara will be paired with Bala Kumaresan, global head of engineering. Kumaresan joined Informatica earlier this year and held executive roles at Informatica, Symantec, Oracle and F5.
With its latest platform release, Informatica is connecting its data management and integration platform more with key players. Informatica is projecting 2025 revenue of $1.67 billion to $1.72 billion, or growth of 4.6% at the midpoint.

Constellation Research analyst Michael Ni said:
"While hyperscalers compete to dominate compute and data platforms race to own storage, Informatica is reinforcing its role as the trusted metadata layer enterprises depend on to govern AI at scale. Its tighter native integrations with Databricks, Snowflake, and the cloud giants don’t dissolve boundaries—they strengthen them—making Informatica the connective tissue that unifies data quality, lineage, and policy without being subsumed by expanding and increasingly complex stacks."
