Informatica from Salesforce has expanded its long‑standing collaboration with Microsoft, announcing new innovations designed to strengthen the data foundations that enterprises need to scale analytics and AI initiatives across Microsoft Fabric and Azure. The enhancements include general availability of Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) support for Microsoft Fabric Open Mirroring, alongside the launch of a new Azure‑based IDMC point‑of‑delivery in Switzerland.
The new capabilities aim to simplify how organisations ingest, sync and govern data across Microsoft’s cloud ecosystem while giving customers greater control over data residency and compliance in Europe. The integration enables Azure and Fabric users to streamline data management across hybrid and multicloud environments, ensuring that AI and analytics workloads run on trusted, high‑quality data.
“As organisations accelerate AI and analytics, they need trusted context and that starts with high‑quality, well‑governed data.”
— Krish Vitaldevara, Chief Product Officer, Informatica
With the April 2026 IDMC release, Informatica now supports Open Mirroring directly within its Cloud Data Integration and Replication services. Customers can activate Open Mirroring with a single click, enabling effortless ingestion from more than 300 enterprise data sources into Microsoft Fabric mirrored databases. This allows seamless synchronisation between Fabric OneLake and Fabric Data Warehouse, while enabling enterprises to apply Informatica’s governance, quality and master data management capabilities to all mirrored datasets.
“As organizations are accelerating their AI and analytics initiatives, they require trusted context to succeed,” said Krish Vitaldevara, Chief Product Officer at Informatica. “By embedding support for Microsoft Fabric Open Mirroring directly into IDMC, we help customers streamline ingestion while ensuring data is governed, high quality and AI‑ready.”
Microsoft welcomed the expanded partnership. “As enterprises scale their analytics and AI strategies, the combination of Microsoft Fabric and Informatica’s data management capabilities ensures insights and AI models are built on trusted, enterprise‑grade data,” said Arun Ulag, President of Azure Data at Microsoft.
Informatica also announced a new IDMC Azure pod in Switzerland, offering European customers local data processing aligned with residency, sovereignty and regulatory requirements. The pod supports IDMC’s full suite including serverless integration, governance, data quality and master data management and is eligible for Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitments via the Azure Marketplace.
Both the Open Mirroring support and new Azure pod reflect Informatica’s continued investment in helping enterprises modernise data architectures and accelerate AI‑driven transformation.
