Informatica, an enterprise cloud data management leader, is announcing its inclusion as an initial partner of the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform Partner Ecosystem. Microsoft announced the launch of this ecosystem during its Microsoft Ignite 2022. This initiative represents an investment both companies are making towards helping enterprises truly operationalize AI with trusted and governed data. "We unveiled the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform to integrate databases, analytics and governance and help customers address fragmentation and focus time on creating value. We're excited to partner with Informatica to bring more value, and meet our customers where they are" By bringing the end-to-end data management capabilities of the Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) which includes data ingestion, analytics and governance to augment the Analytics, AI/ML capabilities of the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform (MIDP), the two companies will be deepening their partnership to drive the next phase of AI-driven digital transformation.

We are moving to a world where every application needs to be intelligent and adaptive to real-time model learning. As businesses build modern data capabilities, they must make decisions at the speed of human thought. Developers are challenged by this, given the huge silos that exist between databases and analytic products, and the complexity of a fragmented data estate can hamper the speed of agility and innovation. What is needed is a consistent data ecosystem. To help address the fragmentation that exists today between databases, analytics and governance, and enable organizations to unlock these new capabilities, we shared several exciting announcements today at Microsoft Build that demonstrate our continued innovation and investment in the data products our customers have come to know and trust, which will enable our customers to achieve the kind of sustained agility that allows them to pivot and adapt in real-time, add layers of intelligence to their applications, unlock fast and predictive insights, and govern their data--wherever it resides.
