AI is only as good as the data behind it. In our new episode, I sat down with Makesh Renganathan from Informatica's product team to talk about what it really takes to get data AI-ready and ship use cases that move the needle.Highlights:* Only 48% of AI projects make it to production. The gap is data readiness.* Start with clear outcomes. Then build the foundation: completeness, quality, context, governance, security, and timely delivery.* Biggest blockers today: fragmented sources across legacy and cloud, 80–90% untapped unstructured data, and missing guardrails for trust and lineage.* Quantity is not quality. Clean and diverse data beats “more data.”How Informatica helps:* One platform with IDMC to connect, transform, and integrate at scale, including RAG ingestion.* Deep metadata and lineage to add context and trace outputs back to sources.* Built-in governance and data quality to keep sensitive data controlled and compliant.* Low-code and AI-assisted build with CLAIRE so existing teams can deliver faster, from pipelines to agents.Rapid takeaways from Makesh:* Treat data as a strategic asset before you scale models.* The future is AI-driven data management that automates integration, quality, and governance so people focus on strategy.The episode is live now. Watch and tell me which part resonated with your current AI stack.#data #ai #informatica #theravitshow

AI will not fix a broken data foundation. Fix the foundation first. I sat down with Richard Ganley, SVP, Global Partners at Informatica, to unpack a simple blueprint for AI-ready data modernization on The Ravit Show!!!!What we covered -- • Why modernization is now urgent: legacy stacks create scattered data, hand-coded pipelines, high cost, and low trust in reports• The goal state: a unified, automated platform where data is discoverable, governed, and trusted so teams move faster and spend less• Why partners matter: 650 active partners. 35% of new business is partner-sourced. Partners are involved in about 90% of opportunitiesHow the work gets done -- • Partner accelerators scan thousands of legacy jobs, map dependencies, and automate code conversion to modern Informatica mappings• LTIMindtree's IRX is a good example. Plan with automated analysis. Execute with 60–70% automated conversion. Validate with automated testing. Less manual effort. Fewer errors. Predictable timelinesProof it works• Statewide healthcare provider: 70% automation in migration, 30% less effort, 3x cost savings after decommissioning legacy and moving to cloud• Global financial services firm: regulatory reporting time cut from weeks to days, data quality score up 40% in year one, millions saved by reducing manual reconciliation and riskIf you are staring at a complex legacy environment and want a clear path to AI-ready, this conversation will help.

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Aboli Gangreddiwar, Senior Director of Lifecycle and Product Marketing at Credible. (00:00) - Intro (01:10) - In This Episode (04:54) - Agentic Infrastructure Components in Marketing Operations (09:52) - Self Healing Data Quality Agents (16:36) - Data Activation Agents (26:56) - Campaign QA Agents (32:53) - Compliance Agents (39:59) - Hivemind Memory Curator (51:22) - AI Browsers Could Power Living Documentation (58:03) - How to Stay Balanced as a Marketing Leader Summary: Aboli and Phil explore AI agent use cases and the operational efficiency potential of AI for marketing Ops teams. Data quality agents promise self-healing pipelines, though their value depends on strong metadata. QA agents catch broken links, design flaws, and compliance issues before launch, shrinking review cycles from days to minutes. An AI hivemind memory curator that records every experiment and outcome, giving teams durable knowledge instead of relying on long-tenured employees. Documentation agents close the loop, with AI browsers hinting at a future where SOPs and playbooks stay accurate by default. About AboliAboli Gangreddiwar is the Senior Director of Lifecycle and Product Marketing at Credible, where she leads growth, retention, and product adoption for the personal finance marketplace. She has previously led lifecycle and product marketing at Sundae, helping scale the business from Series A to Series C, and held senior roles at Prosper Marketplace and Wells Fargo. Aboli has built and managed high-performing teams across acquisition, lifecycle, and product marketing, with a track record of driving customer growth through a data-driven, customer-first approach.Agentic Infrastructure Components in Marketing OperationsAgentic infrastructure depends on layers that work together instead of one-off experiments. Aboli starts with the data layer because every agent needs the same source of truth. If your data is fragmented, agents will fail before they even start. Choosing whether Snowflake, Databricks, or another warehouse becomes less about vendor preference and more about creating a system where every agent reads from the same place. That way you can avoid rework and inconsistencies before anything gets deployed.Orchestration follows as the layer that turns isolated tools into workflows. Most teams play with a single agent at a time, like one that generates subject lines or one that codes email templates. Those agents may produce something useful, but orchestration connects them into a process that runs without human babysitting. In lifecycle marketing, that could mean a copy agent handing text to a Figma agent for design, which then passes to a coding agent for HTML. The difference is night and day: disconnected experiments versus a relay where agents actually collaborate.“If I am sending out an email campaign, I could have a copy agent, a Figma agent, and a coding agent. Right now, teams are building those individually, but at some point you need orchestration so they can pass work back and forth.”Execution is where many experiments stall. An agent cannot just generate outputs in a vacuum. It needs an environment where the work lives and runs. Sometimes this looks like a custom GPT creating copy inside OpenAI. Other times it connects directly to a marketing automation platform to publish campaigns. Execution means wiring agents into systems that already matter for your business. That way you can turn novelty into production-level work.Feedback and human oversight close the loop. Feedback ensures agents learn from results instead of repeating the same mistakes, and human review protects brand standards, compliance, and legal requirements. Tools like Zapier already help agents talk across systems, and protocols like MCP push the idea even further. These pieces are developing quickly, but most teams still treat them as experiments. Building infrastructure means treating feedback and oversight as required layers, not extras.Key takeaway: Agentic infrastructure requires more than a handful of isolated agents. Build it in five layers: a unified data warehouse, orchestration to coordinate handoffs, execution inside production tools, feedback loops that improve performance, and human oversight for brand safety. Draw this stack for your own team and map what exists today. That way you can see the gaps clearly and design the next layer with intention instead of chasing hype.Self Healing Data Quality AgentsAutonomous data quality agents are being pitched as plug-and-play custodians for your warehouse. Vendors claim they can auto-fix more than 200 common data problems using patterns they have already mapped from other customers. Instead of ripping apart your stack, you “plug in” the agent to your warehouse or existing data layer. From there, the system runs on the execution layer, watching data as it flows in, cleaning and correcting records without waiting for human approval. The promise is speed and proactivity: problems handled in real time rather than reports generated after the damage is already done.The mechanics are ambitious. These agents rely on pre-mapped patterns, best practices, and the accumulated experience of diverse customer sources. Their features go beyond simple alerts. Vendors market capabilities like:Data issue detection that flags anomalies as records arrive.Auto-generated rules so you do not have to write manual SQL for every edge case.Auto-resolution workflows that decide which record wins in conflict scenarios.Self-healing pipelines that reroute or repair flows before they break downstream dashboards.Aboli noted that the concept makes sense in theory but still depends heavily on the quality of metadata. She recalled using Snowflake Copilot and asking it for user lists by specific criteria. The model understood her intent, but it pulled from the wrong tables.“If it had the right metadata, the right dictionary, or if I had access to the documentation, I could have navigated it better and corrected the tables it was looking at,” Aboli said.Phil highlighted how this overlaps with data observability tools. Companies like Informatica, Qlik, and Ataccama already dominate Gartner's “augmented data quality” quadrant, while newcomers are rebranding the category as “agentic data management.” DQ Labs markets itself as a leader in this space. Startups like Acceldata in India and Delpha in France are pitching autonomous agents as the future, while Alation has gone further by releasing a suite of agents under an “Agentic Data Intelligence” platform. The buzz is loud, but the mechanics echo tools that ops teams have worked with for years.Aboli stressed that marketers and ops leaders should resist jumping straight to procurement. Demoing these tools can spark useful ideas, and sometimes the exposure itself inspires practical fixes in-house. The key is to connect adoption to a specific pain point. If your team loses days untangling duplicates and broken joins, the ROI might be obvious. If your pipelines already hold together through strict governance, then the spend may not pay off.Key takeaway: Autonomous data quality agents can detect issues, generate rules, resolve conflicts, and even heal pipelines in real time. Their effectiveness depends on metadata discipline and the actual pain of bad data in your org. Use vendor demos as a scouting tool, then match the investment to measurable business problems. That way you can avoid buzzword chasing and apply agentic tools where they drive the most immediate value.Data Activation Agents

George Roth este unul dintre acei oameni care par să lege fire invizibile între lumi. A crescut în Cluj, într-un oraș care, în anii '70 și '80, pulsa de talent și de o curiozitate intelectuală discretă. A studiat Matematica și Informatica la Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai, iar primele sale proiecte s-au născut într-un laborator de calcul din Cluj, într-o perioadă în care ideea de tehnologie părea încă o poveste spusă la viitor. După Revoluție, lumea i s-a schimbat radical. A trăit, ca mulți alții atunci, speranța începutului și dezamăgirea care a urmat. În 1991 a plecat în Statele Unite, fără planuri, doar cu o diplomă, un costum și dorința de a reuși.Primele luni în America au fost despre supraviețuire. A lucrat la o benzinărie din Los Angeles, apoi a vândut produse chinezești — o experiență care, în ciuda disconfortului, l-a învățat regulile pieței și valoarea perseverenței. Mai târziu, a prins un loc la American Express, în Arizona, unde a dezvoltat modele matematice pentru prevenirea fraudei. De acolo, traseul lui s-a intersectat cu lumea financiară americană: a lucrat cu Barclays Global Investors, Bank of America și alte companii, construind sisteme de date complexe. Tot atunci, a început să creadă că România și Statele Unite nu trebuie să fie două lumi separate.În 1999 a fondat Recognos, o companie care a crescut la Cluj, și care a pus bazele unor tehnologii moderne de procesare a datelor. Douăzeci de ani mai târziu, această inovație a fost achiziționată de UiPath, iar George Roth a devenit parte din echipa care duce mai departe una dintre cele mai importante povești ale industriei tech românești. Dincolo de rolul său în UiPath, continuă să fie un liant între diaspora și țară — consul onorific al României la San Francisco, co-fondator al Romanian American Business Network, mentor pentru tinerii antreprenori.

Nella puntata 583 vi portiamo in un viaggio che attraversa mondi molto diversi ma uniti da un filo comune: l'innovazione scientifica che cambia il modo in cui comprendiamo e costruiamo la realtà. Si parte dalla chimica dei materiali più porosi mai creati, si passa alle tecnologie che collegano la Terra dallo spazio e si arriva alle nuove frontiere della stampa 3D dei metalli. Dai laboratori di ricerca alle orbite satellitari, un percorso che racconta come scienza e tecnologia si intrecciano per disegnare il futuro.Ilaria esce clamorosamente dalla sua comfort zone e sceglie di raccontarci il Premio Nobel per la Chimica 2025, assegnato a Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson e Omar Yaghi per aver inventato una nuova forma di architettura molecolare: i metal–organic frameworks, o MOF. Questi materiali incredibilmente porosi, vere e proprie “spugne molecolari” composte da metalli collegati da molecole organiche, sono in grado di intrappolare e rilasciare sostanze specifiche. Dai gas tossici all'acqua del deserto, i MOF promettono applicazioni rivoluzionarie nella cattura di CO₂, nello stoccaggio di energia e persino nella catalisi chimica.Leonardo invece ci porta in orbita. Intervista Marco Giordani, professore di Telecomunicazioni all'Università di Padova, che racconta come funzionano le reti satellitari di nuova generazione, quelle che rendono possibile la connessione globale — come nel caso di Starlink.Andrea ci accompagna nel mondo della stampa 3D dei metalli, dove la sfida è creare leghe leggere ma resistentissime. Un gruppo di ricercatori ha progettato una nuova lega di alluminio con prestazioni record, cinque volte più forte di quella fusa e addirittura più robusta delle migliori leghe tradizionali usate in aeronautica. Questo risultato è stato ottenuto grazie a un mix di simulazioni al computer e tecniche di stampa 3D che permettono di solidificare il materiale a velocità estreme, generando minuscole strutture interne che ne aumentano la forza.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scientificast-la-scienza-come-non-l-hai-mai-sentita--1762253/support.

Artificial intelligence has made data more useful and accessible to businesses than ever, but if businesses want to get the most from their data they have to get it in a fit state to use.There's a significant disconnect between IT specialists, CEOs, and other parts of the business when it comes to understanding what this means and how ready they are, however. Research from Informatica found 69% of IT teams rate their data quality as excellent or very good, barely half of business leaders say the same at 51%. The same survey found 57% of business professionals and 30% of IT workers don't know what it means for data to be ‘AI ready'.In this special edition of the ITPro Podcast, in association with Informatica, we explore what data excellence is, why it's important to companies, and how they can achieve it.

In this episode of Software People Stories, Gayatri Kalyanaraman speaks with Shikha Munjal, Associate Director Fidelity International, about her dynamic journey across technology, finance, people management and community building.Shikha Munjal's story begins in a small town in Haryana, where she pursued computer science engineering—a choice influenced by her father's vision rather than her own. What started as a decision made for her soon turned into a lifelong passion for technology and problem-solving.She began her career with Accenture in Bangalore, diving straight into the corporate world just two days after finishing her final exams. Although trained in one technology, she was placed on projects with Informatica and data technologies, which opened a new career-long interest in data management and reporting tools.From there, Shikha moved to Headstrong (later acquired by Genpact), working primarily with Morgan Stanley's account, and even spent nearly a year onsite in Tokyo. That global experience left a lasting impression on her work ethic—she admired the Japanese culture of discipline, continuous learning, and deep focus.Her journey next took her to JP Morgan in Mumbai, where she strengthened her expertise in financial services and data-driven systems. But personal circumstances brought her back to the Delhi NCR region, where she eventually joined Fidelity International, her professional home for over a decade.At Fidelity, Shikha grew into senior leadership, taking on roles that blended technology, business analysis, and product management. She emphasized not just building solutions, but delivering real business outcomes—aligning technology with the fast-paced demands of the financial services industry.Along the way, she invested in continuous learning—pursuing certifications in Informatica, IBM, product management, financial analysis, and cloud/data platforms like Snowflake. She transitioned from being a technologist to a business leader and product owner, always guided by her growth mindset.Beyond her corporate role, Shikha has been an active advocate for diversity and inclusion, serving as a chapter lead at AnitaB.org North India. She blends her professional identity with her personal roles as a mother, wife, daughter, and sister, often saying that her strength comes from integrating all these parts of her life.Today, as Associate Director at Fidelity International, Shikha is shaping data strategies, product roadmaps, and inclusive leadership practices—all while staying curious, resilient, and adaptable in an era of rapid technological and business change.Quotable Moments from Shikha Munjal's Episode“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts – I've learned to blend my roles as a mother, daughter, professional, and leader.”“Comfort and growth do not coexist. The moment I feel my work is not challenging me, I know it's time to evolve.”“What keeps me going is not climbing the career ladder, but continuously adding to my profile and learning something new.”“If you enjoy the process of learning, the outcomes will follow naturally.”“In technology, every four to eight years your skills get challenged – you need to continuously upskill to stay relevant.”“I always believed that being connected to the business side meant being connected to the real world – solving real problems, not just writing code.”“We need to embrace uncertainty rather than rush to solve it. Sometimes dwelling on the ambiguity gives deeper insights.”“Data today is like a marketplace—you should be able to shop for it within an organization, but with the right entitlements and governance.”Shikha Munjal is Associate Director at Fidelity International with over 20 years of experience in technology and financial services. She has held roles at Accenture, HCL, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and now Fidelity. A strong advocate for diversity and inclusion, she has led the North India chapter of AnitaB.org. Shikha is passionate about data, product management, and continuous learning, and believes in shaping her career with curiosity and resilience.Shikha can be reached at https://www.linkedin.com/in/shikha-munjal-19370113a/

Eric Brown vividly recalls his trial by fire at MicroStrategy. Joining a subsidiary, he expected to help deploy hundreds of millions from a planned secondary raise. Instead, “the parent company had a restatement…raised zero,” he tells us. Elevated to CFO, he faced layoffs of two-thirds of staff and operating margins at -40%. Over three years, Brown led a turnaround to +30% margins and a market cap recovery from $55 million to more than $1 billion. “Nothing really phases me,” he says of the experience.That resilience shaped how he later embraced growth. At Tanium, he oversaw hyperbolic expansion—ARR surging from $8 million to over $220 million in three years—while remaining operating cash-flow positive. At Electronic Arts, he guided the transformation from disc-based game sales to digital distribution. And at Informatica, he achieved what he once missed at another firm: leading a successful $1 billion IPO.Now at Cohesity, Brown sees a new frontier in AI. Comparing it to earlier waves like the internet and cloud, he emphasizes the capital intensity and strategic importance of data. Training large language models will be limited to “maybe eight to ten long-term” entities worldwide, he tells us. For Cohesity, which secures and curates customer data, AI offers both internal efficiencies—like case resolution and policy querying—and external growth through its Gaia platform.From existential crisis to IPO triumphs, Brown frames AI as the next defining wave. “The broad-based applicability is extraordinary,” he tells us, adding that the real battle will be for privileged data.CFOTL: Thank you for that perspective. You revealed to us pretty much what Cohesity is up to, and maybe you can tell us a little bit about the acquisition last year of Veritas. After that was announced, it was said you were now the largest data protection software provider by market share. How has that transformed your business strategy or competitive positioning?Brown: First of all, this transaction is a landmark deal—something that would make an amazing business school case study. To set it up: Cohesity, a private company with about $550 million in GAAP run-rate revenue, had just reached break-even. Then we bought 72% of Veritas in a carve-out from a private entity. That move doubled our size—Veritas had roughly $1.1 billion in GAAP revenue.You ask, how does a $500 million company buy a $1.1 billion company? The answer is you need a compelling case and a lot of capital. The case was horizontal consolidation: Veritas had an incredible install base but an older-generation product, while Cohesity had a next-gen hyper-converged product. Together, we could offer something better. With 4,000 Cohesity customers and 9,000 from Veritas—and only 2% overlap—we created a highly complementary enterprise customer base.To finance it, we essentially became a deal-specific private equity company, raising $950 million of equity and $2.8 billion of debt. We closed the deal in December last year. Since then, we've integrated at record speed—three to four times faster than you'd normally see in an M&A transaction. Every system has converged except customer care, which will be complete by November. Customer response has been strong, and the original thesis—that we'd be better together with a stronger roadmap and a future-proofed Veritas base—has proven absolutely true. This wasn't just financial engineering; the combined product value proposition is rock solid, and it's been great to see that play out.

Amit Walia, CEO of Informatica (INFA), talks about what he calls a "blow out" quarter in earnings, particularly through its cloud business. He talks about how the report shows the importance of A.I. and its role for Salesforce's (CRM) Agentforce platform. Informatica was acquired by Salesforce in May for $8 billion. Amit later notes the company's hyperscaler partnerships through Amazon (AMZN) AWS, Microsoft (MSFT), and mostly recently, Nvidia (NVDA).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Informatica isn't a household name, but it plays a crucial role in helping companies like Toyota and Unilever manage and organize vast amounts of data. As artificial intelligence becomes more powerful, that data is like a gold mine. Customer relationship software company Salesforce recently struck a multibillion-dollar deal to acquire Informatica. On the latest episode of the Bold Names podcast, Informatica CEO Amit Walia speaks to WSJ's Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins about why his company is worth $8 billion to Salesforce's AI ambitions.

Nearly a year into his CFO role at Reltio, James Redfern still feels like he's catching up. “I've made some progress, but I'm definitely not where I… need to get,” he tells us. That steep learning curve was exactly what drew him to the company.Redfern didn't find the Reltio opportunity through recruiters. Instead, it surfaced during a casual conversation with a mentor. “I was actually looking at something else,” he recalls. “And he said, ‘Oh, if you're looking… I'm on the board of a company that's looking for a CFO.'” That kind of personal connection—what Redfern calls “psychic safety”—has guided his last two career moves. It's less about who you know casually, he tells us, and more about “people you actually have worked with.”At Reltio, Redfern stepped out of his comfort zone. After years in application-layer software companies like Workday and PayScale, he shifted into deep IT infrastructure. Reltio's platform ensures enterprise data is clean and consistent across systems—a need made more urgent by the rise of AI. “You need a reliable, unified view of your data,” he explains. “One customer equals one customer—not three different customers in three different systems.”With 190 customers and $160 million in annual recurring revenue, Reltio works with some of the world's largest enterprises. The company's mission, Redfern tells us, is to replace legacy systems like Informatica and IBM with cloud-native data unification at scale.For Redfern, the attraction wasn't the title. It was the challenge. “This is the kind of journey I committed myself to,” he says.

Welcome to episode 307 of The Cloud Pod – where the forecast is always cloudy! Who else is at a conference? Justin is coming to us this week from sunny San Diego where he's attending FinOps – so we have that news to look forward to for next week. Matt and Ryan are also on hand today to share the latest news from Kubernetes, Salesforce acquisitions, and the strange case of Azure making AWS more cost effective.

The timing here is fascinating, because Informatica literally just announced their own agentic AI offerings last week at Informatica World, so Salesforce is essentially buying a company that’s already pivoted hard into the AI space – rather than trying to build these capabilities from scratch. There’s going to be some interesting overlap with MuleSoft, which Salesforce bought for $6.5 billion back in 2018, but analysts are s

If there's one constant in business today, it's change. New partnerships, new strategies, and new risks are popping up in all areas. In this episode, we look at three major changes taking place in the B2C, B2B, and enterprise application spaces and tap our analysts for their guidance on how to manage these changes.

In this episode, we discuss experiences with AI coding, layoffs and unemployment, DevOps Center, Salesforce's Q1 financials, Informatica acquisition, and AI agents.

ConnectWise has confirmed it was the target of a cyber attack by a nation-state threat actor, affecting a small number of its ScreenConnect customers. The company has since patched the software and implemented enhanced monitoring measures to secure its environment. This incident highlights the increasing targeting of remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools by advanced threat actors, particularly from Russian and Chinese intelligence services. The breach, occurring shortly before the IT Nation Secure Conference, raises concerns about the security of RMM tools, which are now viewed as critical infrastructure by hostile foreign actors.In the broader technology landscape, PC sales are projected to grow by 4.1% in 2025, primarily due to a temporary pause in tariffs that has encouraged manufacturers to increase shipments. However, this growth is not indicative of sustainable demand, as challenges such as rising prices and declining consumer sentiment loom. Meanwhile, U.S. smartphone sales are expected to decline due to ongoing tariffs, with the average selling price projected to rise by 4%. This situation reflects a complex interplay of market dynamics influenced by tariff policies.A global study from Kindle reveals that while 95% of organizations have adopted AI, a significant skills gap exists, with 71% of leaders believing their workforces are unprepared to leverage AI effectively. The report indicates that only 40% of leaders utilize AI-powered insights for decision-making, underscoring the need for better alignment between workforce strategies and AI technology. Additionally, the IoT Asset Tracking and Visibility Adoption Report 2025 highlights that 74% of asset tracking projects meet or exceed ROI expectations, emphasizing the importance of managed asset tracking solutions over in-house developed tools.Recent announcements from major companies like Barracuda, Red Hat, and Salesforce indicate a shift towards AI-driven solutions in the enterprise sector. Barracuda has launched an AI-powered cybersecurity platform, while Red Hat introduced AI-driven system administration tools to address the skills gap in Linux management. Salesforce's acquisition of Informatica aims to enhance its data management capabilities, further integrating AI into its offerings. These developments suggest that the focus is shifting from flashy AI features to practical applications that simplify security and enhance operational efficiency. Four things to know today 00:00 Tariffs Distort Tech Growth: PCs Surge While Smartphones Stall, AI and Asset Tracking Reveal Readiness Gaps05:11 Tariffs and AI Redefine Channel Strategy: Uncertainty, Automation, and the Margin Squeeze08:23 Enterprise AI Gets Real: Barracuda, Red Hat, and Salesforce Target Ops, Not Optics10:17 ConnectWise Breach Underscores Rising Nation-State Interest in RMM Tools Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorshiphttps://timezest.com/mspradio/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
