Building on their extensive partnership,
Informatica and Databricks are helping customers create and manage
AI-ready data and Generative AI analytics on the Databricks Data
Intelligence Platform.
Informatica (NYSE: INFA), a leader in enterprise AI-powered
cloud data management, today announced the latest advances in its
continuing partnership with Databricks, the data and AI company.
New areas of collaboration include deeper integration between
Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform and
the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, including Informatica
support for AI Functions on Databricks in Informatica’s Native SQL
ELT that processes no-code data pipelines natively on
Databricks.
“We are seeing phenomenal success with our Databricks-related
business, with rapid growth and delivering impactful business
outcomes for customers such as Takeda, KPMG and Point72 to name
just a few,” said Amit Walia, Chief Executive Officer at
Informatica. “One of our key priorities while partnering with
Databricks is empowering customers to build enterprise-grade GenAI
applications. These applications leverage high-quality, trusted
enterprise data to provide high-impact Gen AI applications with
rich business context and deep industry semantic understanding
while adhering to enterprise data governance policies.”
“As demand for data intelligence increases, we want to help our
customers build and deploy high-quality AI applications that
deliver accurate, domain-specific outputs,” added Adam Conway,
SVP of Products at Databricks. “As a leader in cloud-native,
AI-powered data management, Informatica is a key partner of ours,
supporting everything from data integration and transformation to
data quality, governance and protection.”
On the product front, the recently introduced support for
Databricks AI Functions in Informatica’s Native SQL ELT enables
organizations leveraging Databricks to rapidly adopt GenAI
capabilities of the Databricks Data Intelligence platform with
no-code data pipelines, opening Databricks GenAI capabilities to
no-code users and ensuring consistency, maintainability and optimal
performance of data pipelines running natively on Databricks. The
AI Functions on Databricks enable customers to use key Gen AI
capabilities, including sentiment analysis, similarity matching,
summary generation, translation and grammar correction on your data
directly from SQL.
In addition, Informatica’s new Native SQL ELT for Databricks
makes it possible to “push down” data pipelines with 50+
out-of-the-box transformations and support for 250+ native
Databricks SQL functions to run natively and efficiently on
Databricks via Databricks SQL. This enables customers to easily
build data pipeline flows in Databricks by leveraging Informatica’s
powerful no-code/low-code SQL ELT capabilities.
Late last year, Informatica announced a GenAI Blueprint for
Databricks and other enterprise-grade capabilities, including
support for Databricks’ Unity Catalog in IDMC. The IDMC platform
includes multiple features optimized for Databricks, such as
300-plus data connectors, the ability to create low-code/no-code
data pipelines, data ingestion and replication, and GenAI-driven
automation via Informatica’s CLAIRE GPT and CLAIRE Co-pilot.
Informatica was recognized by Databricks as its 2024 Data
Integration Partner of the Year at the Data + AI Summit.
Informatica and Databricks have worked closely over the past
several years to deliver transformative data management and
analytics solutions to many enterprise customers. Together, they
are driving new ways to develop and manage GenAI and analytics
workloads across their platforms.
