Salesforce has officially acquired data management giant Informatica in a massive $8 billion. This much-anticipated Salesforce-Informatica acquisition strengthens Salesforce’s position in the AI and data space.
This move is a big step forward for Salesforce as it aims to build a stronger foundation for AI and data-driven tools.
Salesforce is known for its powerful CRM and AI solutions. But to make AI smarter and more useful, it needs clean, trusted, and well-managed data. That’s where Informatica comes in. The company offers tools that help businesses manage, clean, and organize their data.
With this acquisition, Salesforce can now improve how it handles and uses data.
Salesforce will pay $25 per share for Informatica’s Class A and Class B-1 stocks. That’s lower than the $38.48 trading price of Informatica stock back in April 2024, making this a discounted deal. Some experts believe this price drop is due to Informatica’s nearly $2 billion debt.
Still, the deal went through, and now Salesforce owns one of the most trusted names in data management
