Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Informatica MDM 360 and Data Governance Summit in London including being in a panel discussing best practices for your MDM 360 journey. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Master Data Management (MDM) was a main theme at this event.
Informatica has a track record of innovating in new technologies in the data management space while also acquiring promising newcomers in order to fast track their market offering. So it is with AI and MDM at Informatica too. Informatica currently has two tracks:
- clAIre – the clairvoyant component in the Informatica portfolio that “using machine learning and other AI techniques leverages the industry-leading metadata capabilities of the Informatica Intelligent Data Platform to accelerate and automate core data management and governance processes”.
- Informatica Customer 360 Insights which is the new branding of the recent AllSight acquisition. You can learn about that over at The Disruptive Master Data Management Solutions List in the entry about Informatica Customer 360 Insights.
At the Informatica event the synergy between these two tracks was presented as the Intelligent 360 View. Naturally, marketing synergies are the first results of an acquisition. Later we will – hopefully – see actual synergies when the technologies are to be aligned, positioned and delivered to customers who want to be an intelligent enterprise of the future.
