The acquisition adds to a slew of deals Salesforce has made over the years as the company has sought to expand its product portfolio and gain market share. It bought Slack in 2021 for $27.7 billion, Tableau in 2019 for $15.7 billion, and MuleSoft in 2018 for $6.5 billion.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said Monday that the firm would look to leverage Informatica alongside its Data Cloud, MuleSoft and Tableau products to "enable autonomous agents to deliver smarter, safer, and more scalable outcomes for every company."
