The company returned to public markets on NYSE in October 2021 and has since accelerated its cloud and AI-powered data management focus, with Informatica World becoming the centerpiece of its annual customer and partner engagement calendar.

The company is respected for its comprehensive platform approach and recent pivot toward AI-powered solutions.
