A Big Thank You to Our Global Partners and Welcome to the Next Phase of Growth with Informatica

This past year has been an incredible year of change, the pandemic being the forcing function. We’ve all had to adjust, adapt, and respond to real and daunting challenges as the world came to a grinding halt then slowly chugged back to productivity, albeit in a remote and virtual fashion.

Informatica has been going full steam ahead helping our customers stay resilient, working side-by-side with our partners to bring best-of-breed cloud data management solutions to our customers as they accelerate their plans to modernize, move to the cloud, and forge ahead with their data-driven digital transformation. The need to have a robust cloud data strategy has never been greater, and we’re committed to helping customers manage, protect, and access their data on any platform, any cloud, and for any user in multi-cloud and multi-hybrid environments.

This year’s partner summit, Elevate, presented virtually, saw tremendous attendance from our partners. CEO Amit Walia discussed Informatica’s cloud-first, cloud-native strategy; regional leaders laid out key priorities, goals, and objectives; technical sessions offered certification opportunities; and for the first time we covered the industry view of customers’ digital transformation challenges in financial services, oil and gas, healthcare, retail, public sector, and manufacturing.
