The American software editor Salesforce will buy the Californian computer company for about $ 8 billion to strengthen itself in the so -called agent artificial intelligence, he announced in a statement on Tuesday.
By combining the platforms of the two companies, “we will allow autonomous agents to provide more intelligent, safe and more scalable results for each company and significantly strengthen our position in the corporate data market, valued at more than $ 150 billion,” said Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, quoted in the press release.
An agent AI giant
Informatica, a data management specialist supplied by AI, has around 5,000 clients in almost 100 countries.
AI AGENTIC makes it possible to carry out a specific task thanks to the IA under limited supervision. After a year 2023 marked by the race by competing interfaces in Chatgpt, IA attendees gained the ability to “reason” and perform online tasks on the name of the user, thus becoming “AI agents.”
“IA agents actually need the most complete understanding of their data. The combination of advanced capacities and metadata of informatics catalog with our agentforce platform offers exactly this,” said Steve Fisher, director of Salesforce technology.
In detail, Salesforce will buy all informatics shares for around 8 billion dollars, at a rate of $ 25 per share. The operation must be completed during the first half of 2026.
In electronic bags before opening the New York Stock Exchange, the Salesforce title won 1.1% around 12:30 pm GMT.
