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.
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.
Informatica also expanded its IDMC Cloud Data Integration support for Fabric to bring mass ingestion and Change Data Capture services for Fabric Data Warehouse. With this innovation, IDMC customers can use mass ingestion and replication to ingest billions of rows each month into Fabric OneLake or Fabric Data Warehouse while using Change Data Capture to minimize compute time and costs to keep data synced. With the ability to ingest from over 300 enterprise sources, Informatica enables customers to benefit from data within Fabric that is governed, high quality, and ready for analytics and AI at scale.
By combining Informatica’s extensive connector ecosystem with Fabric’s scalability, customers can reduce redundant processing, streamline incremental updates, and accelerate time to insight.
“Trusted data for AI and trusted data for analytics are the foundation of scaling responsible, transformational AI,” said Rahul Auradkar, President and GM of Data Foundations at Salesforce. “With our focus on collaboration and innovations with Microsoft, we are meeting Azure customers where AI and analytics converge — delivering enterprise-grade, production-ready capabilities that help to ensure data is high quality and ready for actionable insight at scale.”
“Informatica’s integrations into Microsoft Azure make them an important part of our journey as we use Microsoft Fabric and Microsoft Foundry to build an enterprise data platform that brings our critical data directly into the hands of the business users who need it,” saidTheodora Bakker, VP of Data at The Hearst Corporation.
“Microsoft Foundry continues to expand its tool ecosystem to help customers build and scale AI agents with confidence,” said Tina Schuchman, Corporate Vice President and GM of Foundry Agents at Microsoft. “Informatica’s MCP servers, now available in Foundry Tools Catalog, enable us to bring trusted enterprise data and interoperability into our ecosystem — enabling customers to seamlessly operationalize AI at scale with high-quality, governed data.”
