Informatica World, LAS VEGAS— May 20, 2026 —Informatica from Salesforce, a leader in AI-powered enterprise cloud data management, today announced deeper collaboration with Microsoft, unveiling new integrations designed to empower joint customers to accelerate and fuel their AI and analytics initiatives with trusted data.
As organizations race to implement agentic AI, the need for trusted context and interoperable data has never been greater. According to the Salesforce’s State of Data & Analytics Report, Second Edition, 89% of data and analytics leaders believe agent interoperability will soon be required to do business, and 89% say a strong data foundation is the most critical factor for successful AI adoption. Today’s announcements directly address the industry’s most pressing challenges by making enterprise-grade data management more discoverable, connected, and ready for AI-driven use cases.
Seamless Discovery and Integration of Informatica’s Headless Data Management in Microsoft Foundry
Headless IDMC’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are now generally available within Microsoft Foundry, enabling joint customers to power their AI agents with trusted data from Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC). While Microsoft Azure customers use Foundry to build agents, they often require access to data spanning across hybrid and multicloud data environments. By making Informatica’s MCP servers discoverable within Foundry, Informatica enables Azure customers to seamlessly integrate critical data management services — such as Cloud Data Governance and Catalog Metadata Search, Cloud Address Verification, Customer Identification, Job Management, and Data Provisioning — into their AI agents, enabling these agents to operate with trusted, authoritative, and traceable context.
