Informatica, a leader in AI-powered enterprise cloud data management, has announced a significant expansion of its strategic partnership with Google Cloud. Unveiled at Informatica World 2026, the move brings two major capabilities to the enterprise AI landscape:
- CLAIRE® GPT on Google Cloud: Informatica’s conversational AI assistant for enterprise data management is now natively available within Google Cloud’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC), enabling users to interact with data using natural language directly in their cloud environment.
- Support for Gemini Enterprise: Informatica has extended its Intelligent Data Management Cloud to integrate with Gemini Enterprise, facilitating seamless interoperability across multi-agent architectures and cloud platforms.
These enhancements underscore a shared commitment by Informatica and Google Cloud to make enterprise AI more accessible, trustworthy, and interoperable. Rik Tamm‑Daniels, VP of Ecosystem and Technology Alliances at Informatica, emphasized that the integration positions Informatica agents as collaborative participants in the broader “Agentic Enterprise,” reinforcing the company’s role as the foundational data layer for AI across platforms.
From the customer perspective, Gaganpreet Randhawa, AVP of Enterprise Architecture at CNA Insurance, highlighted the importance of trusted data with rich context for AI success, noting that the ability to access such data within agentic workflows is crucial. Google Cloud’s Satish Thomas, VP of Applied AI and Platform Ecosystem, echoed this sentiment, stressing that the future of enterprise AI depends on open, interconnected ecosystems where agents can collaborate using trusted data.
This development represents a strategic leap toward embedding conversational and agentic AI capabilities directly into enterprise cloud workflows, reducing friction and accelerating adoption. By enabling natural language data interaction and cross-platform agent collaboration, Informatica and Google Cloud are setting a new standard for enterprise AI infrastructure.
