Salesforce has now completed its acquisition of Informatica, in a deal positioned as a way to strengthen Salesforce’s AI data foundation. If you are an Informatica customer, that headline is not the end of the story. It is the start of a long, complicated chapter. Informatica is no longer an independent data company.

Enterprise data infrastructure is reaching an inflection point.
