Informatica World, LAS VEGAS \u2014 May 20, 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Informatica from Salesforce<\/a>, a leader in AI-powered enterprise cloud data management, today announced two new capabilities, expanding its partnership with Google Cloud. Unveiled at Informatica World 2026<\/a>, the innovations bring Informatica\u2019s AI-driven data intelligence directly into the Google Cloud environment and connect Informatica’s trusted data capabilities into multi-agent architectures that span any platform or cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving Data Management Productivity with Natural Language Queries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This advancement brings Informatica’s CLAIRE\u00ae<\/em> GPT, the company’s conversational AI assistant for enterprise data management, directly to Google Cloud. Using CLAIRE GPT, data teams can now discover assets, enrich metadata, assess quality, and resolve governance issues through natural language queries. Tasks that once required manual search or multistep workflows can be accomplished in seconds through a simple conversational prompt. CLAIRE GPT is generally available today as part of the Spring 2026 release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling Open Agentic Interoperability with Support for A2A Protocol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol is an open interoperability standard developed by Google, and Informatica CLAIRE data management agents will now support A2A protocol. This enables CLAIRE agents from Informatica to collaborate with AI agents across any platform or vendor. Organizations building agents on Gemini Enterprise will now be able to invoke CLAIRE agents directly within their agentic workflows to access Informatica’s governed enterprise data layer without custom integration, reducing technical overhead. This innovation from Informatica aligns with Salesforce’s broader mission of enabling agentic success, where support for open agent interoperability is key, as demonstrated through its own contributions as a launch partner in Google Cloud’s initial release<\/a> of the A2A protocol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese announcements reflect our shared commitment to making enterprise AI more accessible, trustworthy, and interoperable,\u201d said Rik Tamm-Daniels, VP of Ecosystem and Technology Alliances at Informatica<\/strong>. \u201cWith CLAIRE GPT native to Google Cloud and A2A protocol support, Informatica agents become collaborative participants in the broader Agentic Enterprise \u2014 reinforcing our role as the data foundation for AI and our commitment to headless data management, wherever customers choose to build.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a Google Cloud and Informatica customer, we\u2019re excited to see these new innovations become available,\u201d said Gaganpreet Ra<\/strong>n<\/strong>dhawa, <\/strong>AVP of <\/strong>Enterprise Architecture at CNA Insurance.<\/strong> \u201cAI requires a foundation of trusted data with rich context to succeed, and the ability to readily access this data within agentic workflows is crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe future of enterprise AI relies on open, interconnected ecosystems where agents can seamlessly collaborate using trusted data,\u201d said Satish Thomas, <\/strong>VP <\/strong>of Applied AI <\/strong>and <\/strong>Platform Ecosystem <\/strong>at <\/strong>Google Cloud<\/strong>. \u201cOur deepened partnership with Informatica will empower customers to build multi-agent workflows with Gemini Enterprise that are rooted in enterprise-grade data management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs both a customer and partner of Google Cloud and Informatica, we see firsthand the power of bringing these capabilities together,\u201d said Gary Kotovets, Chief Data and Analytics Officer at Dun & Bradstreet<\/strong>. \u201cEnsuring our verified data is available where and when it\u2019s needed to power agentic workflows will enable organizations to drive real outcomes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
