19 Years of Leadership: Informatica Named in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools

AI and generative AI (GenAI) are emerging as game-changers. These technologies are driving innovation and transformation within organizations by promising rapid advancements and delivering value-driven results. Considered essential for organizations to stay competitive across every industry, GenAI is making a huge impact by reshaping workflows, enhancing human creativity and pushing the boundaries of automation. Executives are prioritizing AI and GenAI initiatives more than ever — Boston Consulting Group reports that 89% of executives rank AI and GenAI among their top three technology priorities for 2024.1

However, while companies are ready for AI their data is not AI-ready. According to Harvard Business Review, 93% of Chief Data Officers (CDOs) believe a comprehensive data strategy is essential to unlocking generative AI’s value.2 Additionally, success in GenAI demands not only highly skilled resources but also the ability to rapidly scale applications to production — factors that depend heavily on having data that is well-organized, accessible and AI-ready.

Enter data integration which is critical for the success of AI and GenAI projects. A comprehensive data integration solution should be able to discover, ingest, integrate, automate, cleanse, govern, master and share data for AI and GenAI consumption. It ensures that AI/GenAI models have access to the right data in the right format, enabling them to produce more accurate, reliable and relevant results while addressing data integration challenges related to managing diverse data sources and ensuring real-time analytics.
