The pace of AI innovation is relentless. Not long ago, businesses debated whether to implement AI at all — now, the question is how quickly can they scale. And just as organizations harness the power of generative AI, a new era is emerging called agentic AI.

Gartner predicts that “by 2028, 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024. AI agent machine customers will replace 20% of the interactions at human-readable digital storefronts. And at least 15% of day-to-day work decisions will be made autonomously through agentic AI, up from zero percent in 2024.”¹

To succeed with AI agents, you need a foundation of high-quality, well-governed and accessible data. Without that, even the most sophisticated AI will falter.

AI agents represent a revolution in enterprise efficiency. These autonomous systems can perceive, reason and act with increasing independence, unlocking new levels of automation and intelligence. Within a short period of time, AI agents will be an integral part of business operations, redefining productivity and decision-making.

However, AI is only as powerful as the data that fuels it. As we say at Informatica: Everybody’s ready for AI except your data™. That challenge applies to agentic AI, as well.

Since 2018, Informatica has led the industry in AI-powered data management with CLAIRE. Now, we are pushing the frontier further — integrating AI agents directly into our cloud platform. Imagine a future where best practices like data discovery, quality evaluation and governance are seamlessly managed by autonomous AI agents.

Whether you are building custom agents with Azure AI, leveraging Google Cloud’s Gemini or integrating with AWS, Databricks, Snowflake or Oracle Cloud, your success depends on a cloud data platform that is open, scalable and future-ready.

At Informatica, we have always been the Switzerland of data — vendor-neutral, deeply interoperable and designed to work across your entire technology stack. We do all the hard integration work for our customers in our Intelligent Data Management Cloud platform, so they can focus on delivering better business outcomes. As agentic AI adoption accelerates, this commitment to openness and flexibility is more important than ever.

Our CLAIRE GPT and CLAIRE copilot already deliver impressive business value with natural language-driven capabilities for data management workflows. Now, we’re extending these capabilities to autonomous CLAIRE Agents that can:

• Proactively manage data quality before it impacts business outcomes
• Automate complex data workflows across hybrid environments
• Democratize data access for non-technical users through conversational interfaces
• Ensure governance and compliance without sacrificing agility

Navigating the agentic AI wave is not a solo endeavor. Success will depend on strong partnerships between enterprises, data professionals and AI solution providers—because AI agents are only as good as the data that powers them.

The Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform provides the resilient backbone for AI initiatives, ensuring metadata, security and governance are built into your AI and agent strategy from day one.

Our own AI success speaks for itself: TSIA recently recognized Informatica for leveraging AI to drive revenue-generating workflows in customer experience operations — validating our approach as both a technology provider and practitioner.

We have already launched GenAI blueprints with our major cloud partners and iPaaS recipes (Azure OpenAI prompt chaining or AI Agent for Salesforce using Google Gemini) for GenAI implementation, with even more integrations on the way. Additionally, we are continuing to deepen our collaborations with global system integrators (GSIs) and leading cloud providers, ensuring you have the expertise and support needed to scale AI agents effectively.

CLAIRE’s evolution into an AI-powered platform with autonomous Agents represents a major step forward in enterprise data management. We will reveal the full details at Informatica World 2025 (May 13-15), — offering a deep dive into new capabilities, integrations and an industry-leading, AI-ready roadmap.

In a rapidly evolving AI landscape, Informatica remains a constant: a trusted partner in enterprise cloud data management, helping organizations prepare for whatever comes next.

Success with AI agents is not just about embracing new technology — it is about having the right data, in the right place, at the right time. With Informatica, you will not just be ready for the future — you will be leading it.
