Informatica has announced three strategic innovations with Microsoft. The announcement, at the Microsoft Ignite 2025 conference, showcases the integration of Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform with Microsoft Foundry, Microsoft’s enterprise-grade agentic AI platform.
As enterprises across all industries adopt agentic AI solutions, the Informatica-Microsoft collaboration empowers customers to seamlessly build and deploy AI agents built with governed, high-quality data to accelerate AI adoption at scale while maintaining trust and compliance.
“Our collaboration with Microsoft brings the best of Microsoft Foundry and enterprise-grade data management together,” said Krish Vitaldevara, Chief Product Officer at Informatica. “By integrating our CLAIRE AI engine and IDMC services with Foundry, we help customers build AI agents and applications with confidence, compliance and speed. This is a major leap forward in realising the true promise of AI in the enterprise.”
New innovations unveiled at Ignite 2025
Informatica MCP Server for Foundry Agent Service
Customers building AI agents in Foundry can now connect directly to trusted data from Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud using the industry-standard Model Context Protocol (MCP). This integration allows agents to tap into Informatica’s Cloud Data Governance and Catalog, Data Quality and Master Data Management services—securely and in near real time.
New GenAI Recipes Built for Foundry
Informatica also unveiled the new agentic blueprint for Foundry and a library of new pre-built GenAI recipes designed to accelerate the development of enterprise-ready applications and agents on Foundry. These include Simple React Agent and Agent with Multifunction Calling with Foundry and industry-specific Foundry recipes for loan processing, automobile insurance claims processing and more, all using Foundry and Informatica’s data management backbone. The recipes help customers accelerate the configuration, build, connection, management, orchestration and deployment of their Enterprise GenAI solutions.
CLAIRE AI Engine Expansion with Foundry
The CLAIRE AI engine, Informatica’s intelligent metadata-powered platform, now integrates Foundry to deliver advanced reasoning across services like data integration, quality, governance and Master Data Management (MDM). CLAIRE is now natively available on Microsoft Azure regions in the U.S. and Europe, enabling customers to meet compliance requirements while processing data closer to home.
Expanded Interoperability for Analytics
Informatica also announced support for reading and writing Microsoft OneLake tables backed by the Apache Iceberg table format, making it easy for customers to unify, secure and access their entire data estate. Informatica’s integration with Microsoft OneLake and Apache Iceberg reinforces its commitment to open data ecosystems and seamless interoperability.
“Enterprises are rapidly adopting agentic AI through Microsoft Foundry,” said Amanda Silver, CVP Apps and Agents, Microsoft. “Trusted, governed data is critical to delivering accurate and responsible outcomes. Informatica’s deep integration with our platform empowers customers with the data they need to bring AI to life in production.” Informatica and Microsoft empower over 1,000 joint customers across industries with AI-driven, trusted data.
