Informatica CEO Amit Walia to Outline Vision for Next Phase of Digital Transformation and New Capabilities for Intelligence and Automation

Informatica, the enterprise cloud data management leader, announced updates to its Intelligent Data Platform, powered by Informatica’s AI-powered CLAIRE^™ engine. The updates are part of the company’s vision for Data 4.0, which CEO Amit Walia will address in today’s keynote at its Intelligent Data Summit, the first of a series of free CLAIREview events taking place this summer.

“The current state of the world has disrupted business as usual and is driving a true paradigm shift to Data 4.0,” said Amit Walia, CEO of Informatica. “The need for digital transformation has accelerated. Today, we must redefine previous assumptions and enter a world that is cloud native and metadata-driven, supported by intelligent automations and trusted insights, at operational scale. I believe that Data 4.0 is the soul of digital transformation – and that scale, automation and trust can only be achieved with AI and machine learning capabilities.”
