What if the biggest barrier to your AI-powered future isn't the algorithm, but the state of your data from five years ago? Agility requires more than just fast decision-making; it demands a foundational trust in the data that fuels those decisions. It's about having the right information, accessible and reliable, to pivot not just your campaigns, but your entire strategy. Today, we're going to talk about the often-overlooked foundation of marketing agility and AI innovation: the data infrastructure itself. We'll explore how the role of the CMO is shifting from a master of messaging to a master of data strategy, and what it takes to lead a marketing organization when the quality of your data directly determines the success of your most ambitious technology investments. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Jim Kruger, CMO at Informatica. About Jim Kruger Jim currently serves as the Executive Vice President/Chief Marketing Officer at Informatica.

Giovani, docenti e aspiranti universitari si incontravano il 20 febbraio 2026 nella Cittadella Universitaria di Cagliari per una giornata di orientamento dedicata alla scelta del percorso di studi. Venerdì mattina Unica Radio era presente per raccontare l'atmosfera dell'iniziativa. Studenti delle scuole superiori, accompagnati dai loro docenti, si muovevano nei corridoi della Cittadella, curiosi di conoscere i dettagli dei corsi. Tanti giovani si fermavano ai banchetti informativi per chiedere dettagli su programmi e sbocchi professionali. Quattro aree per esplorare il sapere Nel corso della giornata venivano presentate quattro aree formative principali. La prima era l'Area Medico-Scientifica, con corsi come Medicina, Biologia e Farmacia. Qui i futuri studenti potevano comprendere i percorsi che portano a professioni sanitarie e scientifiche, con spiegazioni sui laboratori e sulle opportunità pratiche durante gli studi. In cima all'interesse restavano le professioni sanitarie perché legate a un forte impatto sociale e a prospettive professionali ampie. L'orientamento mirava non solo a descrivere i contenuti dei corsi ma anche ad aiutare i ragazzi a immaginare come potrebbe trasformarsi la loro carriera personale attraverso quelle scelte. Un'altra area presentata era l'Area Tecnica, con corsi come Ingegneria, Architettura e Informatica. I ragazzi avevano occasione di parlare con studenti più grandi e con tutor, scoprendo esempi concreti di applicazioni pratiche. I docenti illustravano la struttura delle lezioni, i laboratori e alcune applicazioni delle competenze tecniche nella realtà lavorativa. L'informatica e l'ingegneria risultavano particolarmente attraenti per la forte connessione con le tecnologie emergenti. Anche l'architettura suscitava curiosità nei giovani interessati alla progettazione e al design dello spazio costruito. Umanistico, sociale e oltre Le presentazioni proseguivano con l'Area Umanistica, dove venivano discussi corsi come Lettere, Lingue, Beni Culturali e Filosofia. Qui i ragazzi scoprivano l'importanza delle discipline che studiano linguaggi, storie e culture diverse. Docenti e studenti raccontavano esperienze di studio e di ricerca, evidenziando come queste discipline possano aprire a molte carriere professionali, dalla comunicazione all'insegnamento, dalla gestione dei beni culturali alla traduzione. L'orientamento puntava a far capire che anche i percorsi umanistici offrono prospettive significative in un mondo che richiede competenze critiche e comunicative. Infine, nell'Area Sociale e Giuridica venivano presentati corsi come Giurisprudenza, Economia, Scienze Politiche e Psicologia. I futuri studenti ascoltavano le spiegazioni su come queste discipline affrontano temi sociali, economici e giuridici fondamentali. Le testimonianze di giovani studenti già iscritti aiutavano a comprendere la vita quotidiana universitaria e le opportunità di carriera nel campo delle professioni legali, delle scienze sociali e dell'economia. La giornata di orientamento alla Cittadella Universitaria di Cagliari rappresentava così un momento fondamentale per spiegare contenuti e prospettive di studio, offrendo ai ragazzi gli strumenti per una scelta consapevole del loro percorso accademico.

Il tracciato gps di un furgone impegnato nelle classiche consegne porta a porta assomiglia ancora oggi a uno di quei pasticci che facciamo con la biro quando siamo piccoli. Che ci sia spazio per rendere questi spostamenti più razionali ed efficienti è evidente. Meno evidente è come riuscirci rispettando tutti i vincoli, quali quelli posti dalle consegne rapide, come sta facendo il gruppo MOVE. Il gruppo, composto da ricercatori del Politecnico di Milano, che dopo aver analizzato i tracciati degli spostamenti dei veicoli impegnati nella logistica dell'ultimo miglio, ha sviluppato una metodologia per posizionare dei micro-hub urbani, condivisi tra corrieri diversi e ottimizzati come location nella città, che possano fungere da punti di redistribuzione delle merci nelle immediati vicinanze. E il risultato è sorprendente: consegne più rapide, e meno 70% di km urbani percorsi e di emissioni; costi più bassi; meno veicoli in doppia fila. Ne parliamo con Silvia Strada, professoressa del Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informatica e Bioingegneria del Politecnico di Milano.

L'episodio di apre con Valeria che ci parla di virus Nipah. A fine dicembre sono stati registrati due casi in India in due operatori sanitari. Nonostante l'alta mortalità legata a questo virus, per ora i rischi per gli altri paesi sono minimi. Siccome due virus sono meglio che uno, Valeria ci racconta anche un nuovo studio sul virus respiratorio sinciziale che è stato pubblicato su Nature in cui si è capito perchè alcuni virus hanno successo nella replicazione e altri no.Leonardo intervista Antonia Affinito e Raffaele Sommese dell'Universitá di Twente che ci parlano del loro studio sul Piracy Shield, la discutibile tecnología messa in piedi da AGCOM per fermare la diffusione di streaming di eventi sportivi.Tornati in studio dopo una barza geometrica si parla di quali sono le caratteristiche che deve avere un materiale per essere un conduttore, semiconduttore o isolante. Con un argomento ai confini tra la chimica e la fisica, si arriva a parlare di proprietà dei materiali su cui magari non riflettiamo spesso, ma che sono fondamentali nella vita di tutti i giorni.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scientificast-la-scienza-come-non-l-hai-mai-sentita--1762253/support.

Stefano D'Alessandro ha 43 anni e vive a Spoltore, in provincia di Pescara. Le sue radici sono a Pesche, un piccolo borgo medievale del Molise, dove cresce in una famiglia in cui il lavoro non si misura solo con lo stipendio: il padre geometra e la madre, prima sarta e poi casalinga, gli insegnano che in una casa si lavora in tanti modi diversi, e non tutti hanno un prezzo. Dopo le superiori si trasferisce a L'Aquila per studiare Informatica. I genitori gli coprono retta e affitto, ma è soprattutto il loro sostegno emotivo a fare la differenza. Quando sta per laurearsi alla Magistrale, riceve un'offerta di lavoro in un settore digitale in forte crescita.Per otto anni lavora in azienda: un lavoro sicuro, con stipendio e prospettive. Ma nello stesso periodo, fa anche un altro lavoro, che sulla carta è “gratis”. Spesso, infatti, si ritrova a dedicare il suo tempo libero a progetti imprenditoriali e start-up: sere, weekend, energie che nessuno gli paga. Ed è proprio lì che qualcosa scatta: la gratuità dei progetti gli mostra ciò che ama davvero, ciò che lo cattura fino a fargli dimenticare l'orologio. E a quel punto arriva il dilemma. «Da una parte c'è la ragione che ti dice: “Ma chi te lo fa fare? Hai un contratto a tempo indeterminato, guadagni bene, puoi cambiare azienda, fare carriera”; dall'altra, invece, c'è il cuore che ti urla: “Ma Stefano, cosa ti piace davvero fare?”».Stefano segue la passione. Lascia l'azienda e in quella fase utilizza il denaro per ciò che realmente è: uno strumento che compra tempo, margine e possibilità. Nei primi mesi della nuova vita professionale fa un budget accurato, sa quanti mesi può permettersi di non guadagnare, investe in formazione, pianifica ogni spesa al dettaglio, finché nel 2017, assieme a tre soci, fonda Suredi, una software house specializzata nel fintech, che sviluppa prodotti digitali per aziende e start-up. A nove mesi dalla nascita dell'azienda arriva il primo stipendio: 600 euro. Una cifra modesta, ma sufficiente a rendere tangibile il loro impegno e a dare forma concreta a un progetto destinato a crescere progressivamente. Per Stefano mettersi in proprio è stata l'occasione per imparare un linguaggio nuovo, quello della finanza. E quel linguaggio non resta confinato in ufficio, ma torna a casa, diventando uno strumento per prendere decisioni di vita e dare forma concreta ai desideri e ai progetti familiari. «Ho imparato a leggere un bilancio, a capire il flusso di cassa, a investire… tante cose che ora mi aiutano anche nella vita privata». Tutto questo converge in un punto molto preciso: la genitorialità. Diventare padre trasforma il budget e i numeri in gesti d'amore. Non per costruire un futuro perfetto, ma per lasciare aperta una possibilità: poter dire un giorno “sì” a un desiderio di suo figlio, senza che quel sì sia un salto nel buio.

Londra, 1833. Ada Byron, diciottenne figlia del poeta Lord Byron, conosce Charles Babbage, il “padre” della macchina analitica. Anni dopo traduce l'articolo del piemontese Lugi Federico Menabrea su quella stessa macchina e, in una nota, la celebre nota G, scrive il primo algoritmo della storia. Intuisce che le macchine possono elaborare simboli: musica, immagini, linguaggio. In pratica, intuisce il nostro presente. Ecco la storia della donna che ha immaginato l'era digitale e forse anche l'intelligenza artificiale!

We live in a world where technology moves faster than most organisations can keep up. Every boardroom conversation, every team meeting, even casual watercooler chats now include discussions about AI. But here's the truth: AI isn't magic. Its promise is only as strong as the data that powers it. Without trust in your data, AI projects will be built on shaky ground.In this episode of Don't Panic, It's Just Data podcast, Amy Horowitz, Group Vice President of Solution Specialist Sales and Business Development at Informatica, joins moderator Kevin Petrie, VP of Research at BARC, to tackle one of the most pressing topics in enterprise technology today: the role of trusted data in driving responsible AI. Their discussion goes beyond buzzwords to focus on actionable insights for organisations aiming to scale AI with confidence.Why Responsible AI Begins with DataAmy opens the conversation with a simple but powerful observation: “No longer is it okay to just have okay data.” This sets the stage for understanding that AI's potential is only as strong as the data that feeds it. Responsible AI isn't just about implementing the latest algorithms; it's about embedding ethical and governance principles into every stage of AI development, starting with data quality.Kevin and Amy emphasise that organisations must look at data not as a byproduct, but as a foundational asset. Without reliable, well-governed data, even the most advanced AI initiatives risk delivering inaccurate, biased, or ineffective outcomes.Defining Responsible AI and Data GovernanceResponsible AI is more than compliance or policy checkboxes. As Amy explains, it is a framework of principles that guide the design, development, deployment, and use of AI. At its core, it is about building trust, ensuring AI systems empower organisations and stakeholders while minimising unintended consequences. Responsible data governance is the practical arm of responsible AI. It involves establishing policies, controls, and processes to ensure that data is accurate, complete, consistent, and auditable.Prioritise Data for Responsible AIThe takeaway from this episode is clear and that is responsible AI starts with responsible data. For organisations looking to harness AI effectively:Invest in data quality and governance — it is the foundation of all AI initiatives.Embed ethical and legal principles in every stage of AI development.Enable collaboration across teams to ensure transparency, accountability, and usability.Start small, prove value, and scale — responsible AI is built step by step.Amy Horowitz's insight resonates beyond the tech team: “Everyone's ready for AI — except their data.” It's a reminder that AI success begins not with the algorithms, but with the trustworthiness and governance of the data powering them.For more insights, visit Informatica.TakeawaysAI is only as good as its data inputs.Data quality has become the number one obstacle to AI success. Organisations must start small and find use cases for data governance.Hallucinations in AI models highlight the need for vigilant

Hojjat Jafarpour lives with his family in California. He got his PhD in databases and data streaming, back when the landscape was different and data streaming wasn't "cool" yet. He was an early member at Confluent, but also spent time at Quantcast, Informatica, and NEC Labs. Outside of tech, he has a family with young kids. He enjoys traveling, and can't wait until the kids are old enough to take on big trips.Hojjat joined Confluent in their early days. He was on a project that built out kSQL, which was a key cornerstone of Confluent. As these were the early days of stream processing, he started to think about ways to make it easier - to make this sort of tech available without all the infrastructure.This is the creation story of DeltaStream.SponsorsIncogniNordProtectVentionCodeCrafters helps you become a better engineer by building real-world, production-grade projects.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore how Salesforce's acquisition of Informatica strengthens its foundation for delivering trustworthy, agentic AI.Highlights00:04 — A few years back, when I was covering the cloud data management firm Informatica on a regular basis, the rumor mill was rife with speculation that the company was set to be acquired by Salesforce. It didn't happen right away, but ultimately, that's what transpired.00:22 — Now, Salesforce has announced that the acquisition is complete and Informatica is now part of the company — and it makes perfect sense. Informatica emerged as one of the most creative and forward-thinking cloud data management platforms out there.00:39 — The company was quick to adopt generative AI with its CLAIRE GPT tool and soon embedded this enhanced functionality across its Intelligent Data Management Cloud, or IDMC. And now Salesforce has all of this capability within its own ecosystem, and it's an enviable place to be.00:59 — Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has been quick to highlight how the integration of Informatica will benefit Salesforce customers in their agentic AI journey, saying: “You have to get your data right to get your AI right ... Informatica is the trusted platform that turns fragmented enterprise data into context so every agent can reason, act, and deliver outcomes with precision."01:43 — Benioff is spot-on with that opening line: You have to get your data right to get your AI right. And with Informatica's tech supporting a scalable data foundation, Salesforce is enabling just that. If, like Salesforce, you can provide not only the tools to develop an agentic AI ecosystem but also the data foundation to support it, you find yourself in a very strong position indeed.

While the role of a chief data officers (CDOs) was traditionally focused on regulatory compliance, it has now expanded to empowering the consistent and effective use of data across organizations to improve business outcomes. One of the most effective ways for CDOs to demonstrate their value is by developing a data strategy that is closely aligned with business goals, processes, and outcomes. In the latest episode of Tech Transformed, host Kevin Petrie, VP of Research at BARC, speaks with Brett Roscoe, Senior Vice President and GM of Cloud Data Governance and Cloud Ops at Informatica, about the evolving role of CDOs. Their conversation explores how CDOs are transitioning from data stewards to strategic leaders, the importance of data governance, and the challenges of managing unstructured data.The Role of the CDO in the Agentic EraAs Roscoe notes, “CDOs are now pivotal in AI strategy,” reflecting how the role has grown from compliance oversight to guiding enterprise initiatives that directly support organizational goals.In this day and age, CDOs are tasked with ensuring that data is both accessible and reliable, providing a foundation for informed decision-making across business units. This includes establishing policies for data quality, access, and governance, which Roscoe highlights as essential: “data governance is foundational for AI.” At the same time, unstructured data ranging from documents and emails to multimedia adds complexity that requires careful management to make it useful while minimizing risk. “Unstructured data presents challenges,” he adds, emphasizing the need for structured oversight to fully leverage these assets.AI StrategyAlthough technology and analytics are evolving rapidly, the CDO's role in aligning data with strategic initiatives is critical. By connecting data assets to business processes, CDOs help ensure that initiatives are informed by reliable, well-governed information and can deliver measurable results.For anyone looking to understand the evolving responsibilities of CDOs, the importance of governance, and strategies for handling unstructured data, this episode of Tech Transformed provides a detailed and practical discussion.For more insights, follow Informatica:X: @informaticaInstagram: @informaticacorpFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/InformaticaLLC/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/informatica/TakeawaysCDOs are now central to shaping AI strategies and driving business growth.Robust data governance is crucial for the successful deployment of AI technologies.Unstructured data presents unique challenges and opportunities for AI development.A balance between centralized governance and federated operations is essential.Securing executive...

Aan tafel deze week: defensie-onderzoeker Michelle Haas, dem. minister van Buitenlandse Zaken David van Weel, vz. Nationaal Klimaat Platform Kees Vendrik, hoogleraar Informatica Felienne Hermans Presentatie: Maaike Schoon Wil je meer weten over de gasten in Buitenhof? Op onze website vind je meer informatie. Daar kan je deze aflevering ook terugkijken en je vindt er natuurlijk nog veel meer gesprekken: https://bit.ly/buitenhof-9-nov-25 In België vlogen afgelopen week verdachte drones over militaire complexen en vliegvelden. Vluchten werden stilgelegd, de Nationale Veiligheidsraad kwam bijeen en er is grote onrust onder de bevolking. Michelle Haas is defensie-onderzoeker aan de Universiteit van Gent. We spreken haar over de drones en de vermoedens van een Russische dreiging. Waarom België? En is Nederland ook kwetsbaar? David van Weel, demissionair minister van Buitenlandse Zaken, was deze week in Israël en de Palestijnse gebieden. Hij sprak onder meer met de Israëlische president Yitzhak Herzog en de Palestijnse premier Mohammad Mustafa. Hoe kijkt Van Weel naar de nabije toekomst in het Midden-Oosten? In Brazilië is de dertigste VN-klimaattop van start gegaan. In aanloop daarnaartoe besloten de EU-landen het klimaatdoel af te zwakken. Ook in Nederland lijkt de kans dat we onze klimaatdoelen van 2030 gaan halen zo goed als verdwenen. Welk signaal geeft dit af aan de rest van de wereld? Te gast is Kees Vendrik, voorzitter van het Nationaal Klimaat Platform.  Is kunstmatige intelligentie slimmer dan menselijke intelligentie? Als je het aan sommige AI-wetenschappers vraagt, zijn we al door systemen ingehaald. Maar wat is 'slim' eigenlijk? Hoe meten we 'intelligentie'? En helpen slimme systemen ons ook om slimmere keuzes te maken? Daarover in Buitenhof: hoogleraar Informatica aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Felienne Hermans.

Send us a textThe enterprise software ecosystem is undergoing another wave of AI-driven transformation, with vendors and service providers racing to redefine customer intelligence and automation capabilities.

Send us a textThe enterprise software landscape in 2025 continues to evolve at a breakneck pace, marked by a surge of strategic acquisitions, partnerships, and AI-driven innovations. Acumatica's acquisition by Vista Equity Partners signals a new phase of investment and potential scaling for the mid-market ERP leader. Meanwhile, alliances like Capgemini's expanded collaboration with Mistral AI and SAP, and SAP's new partnership with Alibaba Group, underscore the growing importance of regional and AI-native synergies. On the AI front, DataRobot's open-source framework for agentic workflows and Deloitte's launch of a Global Agentic Network both highlight the race to operationalize autonomous digital workforces. Product innovation also remains intense: Snyk's AI Trust Platform, Gainsight's Atlas, and Similarweb's AI Agent collections illustrate how vendors are embedding intelligence across ecosystems. Complementing this trend, Invoca's acquisition of Symbl.ai and Salesforce's plan to acquire Informatica show how data and conversational intelligence are becoming central to customer engagement strategies. Even digital service providers like TELUS Digital are doubling down on CRM-centric growth through the acquisition of Gerent, reflecting how every layer of the enterprise stack is being redefined by AI and data infrastructure convergence.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.

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.

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.
