With agentic AI many of your data management tasks will be handled autonomously, freeing up valuable time for strategy and innovation. In addition, organizations that connect AI-ready data to powerful AI agents will confidently drive initiatives forward with greater efficiency.

At the same time, fragmented data and dependency on scarce AI talent are leading to flawed AI models, increased costs and stalled innovation. Data readiness remains the foundational challenge for AI adoption and the fuel that drives AI performance.

New capabilities in the fall release of Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) will deliver trusted data and equip users to build AI solutions, supported by Informatica’s CLAIRE® AI engine to drive productivity and continuous innovation.

Let’s explore the latest advancements clearing the way to AI success.

AI agents are revolutionizing enterprise productivity and decision-making, unlocking new levels of automation and intelligence. These autonomous systems, which perceive, reason and act with increasing independence, will soon be an integral part of business operations. As AI Agents proliferate, the ability to connect, manage and govern efficiently is critical to match enterprise standards of performance, scale, security and compliance.

The fall IDMC release introduces a private preview of the new AI Agent Engineering service, empowering organizations to build, connect and manage intelligent multi-agent AI systems and compose business applications quickly, securely and at scale.

• AI Agent Engineering’s no-code engineering interface helps reduce AI agent development time from weeks to minutes. Users build, connect, orchestrate and manage customizable Informatica agents across their organizations.
• Discover and customize pre-built, domain-specific AI agents in the AI Agent Hub, where agent and automation recipes boost developer productivity and remove the need to build from scratch.
• Connect AI agents to trusted enterprise data and in-built governance with Informatica MCP Servers. Minimizing infrastructure setup time speeds up AI agent development.

Informatica’s CLAIRE® AI engine has led the industry in AI-powered data management since 2018. Now, we’re pushing further ahead by integrating AI agents directly into our cloud platform.

CLAIRE® Agents is a new suite of autonomous digital assistants designed to augment enterprise data management. These agents harness advanced AI reasoning and planning models to simplify complex workflows, minimize errors and reduce reliance on scarce AI talent. Data professionals define tasks and desired outcomes, but agents handle end-to-end operations automatically, requiring human intervention only when necessary.

CLAIRE® Agents in the fall release include:

• CLAIRE® Enterprise Discovery Agent helps business users rapidly identify relevant, trusted and compliant data assets for analytics and AI.
• CLAIRE® Data Exploration Agent accelerates analytics and informed decision-making by enabling natural language analytical queries, visualization, and exploration of MDM and enterprise data within established guardrails.
• CLAIRE® Data Integration Agent simplifies pipeline generation and enables effective collaboration by generating ELT pipelines on the analytics flows using natural language.
• CLAIRE® Data Quality Agent, available to preview from November, uses a natural language experience to turn business specifications into multiple DQ rules in minutes.
• Also available for private preview from November, Agentic AI PIM for Product 360 simplifies product information management through intuitive conversational experiences. It incorporates CLAIRE® Product Experience Agent for Product 360 to autonomously enrich product records in Product 360 from unstructured external data sources.

The fall IDMC release also introduces CLAIRE® GPT: Agentic Data Management, a major upgrade to CLAIRE GPT, featuring planning, reasoning and improved natural language understanding to drive faster, better-informed decision making. Human oversight is added to the mix to ensure accurate, relevant responses and resolve ambiguities quickly.

Informatica’s new agentic capabilities make complex data management easier with automation and intuitive user experiences, paving the way for improved outcomes aligned with strategic objectives.

To succeed with AI agents and scale AI initiatives, you need a foundation of high-quality, well-governed and accessible data. The fall IDMC release sets in motion AI-powered data management innovations designed to simplify and enhance enterprise-wide access to AI-ready data.

Highlights include:

• Informatica MDM SaaS now features a next-gen stewardship process that incorporates AI across several areas to minimize manual effort and increase productivity. New capabilities include Adaptive AI Matching, Match Explainability, External Match, continuous learning and bulk labeling, plus a revamped Source Records Screens that add transparency to the process.
• The new MDM Extension for Agentforce creates an MDM-aware Agentforce to realize the full potential of AI agents in Salesforce.
• Expanded AI governance capabilities in Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC) provide the ability to model multi-agent systems and scan AI asset inventory from Google Vertex, supporting enterprise governance of AI systems and applications.
• Usage Reporting in CDGC tracks user activity and data asset metrics in customized dashboards, helping you identify opportunities to optimize and drive adoption at scale. CDGC also features enhancements to data quality remediation that reduce the time to investigate and fix data quality issues.
• Data Access Management features enhanced plugins for policy pushdown to Databricks, AWS Redshift and Fabric Data Warehouse, enabling consistent enforcement of access policies, ensuring secure and responsible use of data on these platforms.
• The enhanced CLAIRE® Copilot for Data Integration makes it easier to create data and AI pipelines with natural language prompts and guidance.
• As an additional layer of security, Multi-Factor Authentication minimizes the risk of user accounts being compromised.
• Finally, a private preview of Unstructured Data Governance offers CDGC users the ability to scan, classify and catalog unstructured data files. Fine-grained classification based on unstructured content enables enterprises to curate assets for GenAI use cases in their data catalog. Informatica customers can apply to join the preview today.
