History

Informatica was founded in 1993 by Gaurav Dhillon and Diaz Nesamoney.[3] On 29 April 1999, its initial public offering on the Nasdaq stock exchange listed its shares under the stock symbol INFA.[4] [5]

In April 2015, Permira and CPP Investments announced that a company controlled by their funds would acquire Informatica for approximately US$5.3 billion;[6] this transaction was completed four months later, receiving investment from Microsoft and Salesforce Ventures as part of the deal.

On August 6 2015, its stock ceased trading on the Nasdaq.[7] [8] [9] On 27 October 2021, Informatica again became publicly traded with the INFA stock symbol, this time listed on the NYSE, opening at $27.55 per share.[10]

In November 2023, five months after acquiring Privitar, a data management tool,[11] the firm announced a restructuring plan to focus on its cloud offerings. It permanently laid off 10% of its workforce and reduced its office space.[12]

In April 2024, the Wall Street Journal reported that Salesforce was in advanced talks to acquire Informatica at a price below its $11 billion market capitalization at the time;[13] the deal was eventually abandoned.

In May 2025, it was reported that the firm would be acquired by Salesforce for $8 billion.[14] subject to regulatory approval.[15] [16] In November, it was announced that the acquisition had been completed.[17]

Informatica's product portfolio is focused on data integration: extract, transform, load, information lifecycle management, business-to-business data exchange, cloud computing integration, complex event processing, data masking, data quality, data replication, data virtualization, master data management, ultra messaging, and data governance.
