How Will Informatica’s CDGC Help Google Cloud’s Customers?

Tech organisations can accelerate innovation and unlock more effective and faster solutions to complex challenges by fostering valuable partnerships.

By doing so, organisations can craft cutting-edge offerings by leveraging each other’s technologies, resources, market reach and expertise.

Software company, Informatica, has enhanced its partnership with the leading cloud computing company, Google Cloud, by making its Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC) solutions available on the Google Cloud Marketplace.

The partnership will allow organisations to advance their analytics, AI capabilities and data governance through governance capabilities and advanced data cataloging.

Informatica CDGC is transactable via Google Cloud Marketplace in Saudi Arabia, North American and EMEA markets and generally available for Google Cloud. 

Ritika Suri, Director of Data and AI Partnerships at Google Cloud explains how, “Governance is an important component of any AI strategy and Informatica now makes it easy for Google Cloud customers to adopt its GDGC governance offering via Google Cloud Marketplace,” 

“As part of the IDMC platform, customers can accelerate AI and analytics initiatives through a unified data management system that features data cataloging and governance capabilities.”

The history of Informatica and Google Cloud’s partnership

Informatica and Google Cloud’s partnership has continued to strive to improve enterprise data management and analytics.

Both organisations have continued to help businesses accelerate digital transformation by creating robust, AI-powered data management solutions.

Not only has this partnership supported compliance needs and advanced analytics through offerings like Informatica’s Cloud Data Governance and Catalog (CDGC) and Intelligent Data Management Cloud but it has also driven innovation at scale, simplified the adoption of data solutions and improved data trust. 

This partnership has allowed organisations to leverage their data for decision-making, modern analytics and AI, drive significant technological progress and establish the groundwork for ethical AI governance.

What is the Cloud Data Governance and Catalog solution?

Informatica’s CDGC solution is an AI-powered tool that is built on the Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC).

The solution empowers organisations to define, classify, govern, discover, measure and catalog data across their operations. 

The CDGC enhances operational efficiency and innovation in data-centric environments by empowering enterprises to turn their data into actionable insights.

Rik Tamm-Daniels, Global Vice President of Strategic Ecosystems and Technology at Informatica explains how, “AI-driven cataloging and governance capabilities provide a rich metadata foundation that is critical for modern analytics and AI initiatives, including Informatica’s recently-released Gen AI Blueprint for the Vertex AI platform and Gemini models.

“We are excited to offer CDGC natively on Google Cloud so Google Cloud customers can classify, secure and democratise their critical data assets and achieve transformative AI and analytics driven outcomes.” 

What impact will this partnership have on the future of AI? 

Informatica’s CDGC solutions will tackle key difficulties in data management and compliance to redefine the future of AI governance. 

The solution will mitigate risks in AI applications, such as inaccuracies, bias and non-compliance, by allowing organisations to catalog, classify and govern data assets with ease.

This will enhance data democratisation and establish a clear foundation for reliable and ethical AI models - high-quality and trusted data. 

Not only does this solution ensure accountability and compliance with new regulations by allowing organisations to track data lineage but it also supports two key areas of responsible AI governance - transparency and traceability. 

As AI continues to integrate into numerous industries, Informatica’s strengthened partnership with Google Cloud highlights how innovative and ethical AI-driven ecosystems can be crafted through scalable and unified governance solutions. 

Its CDGC solution will lay the foundation needed to establish an ethical and high-performing AI system.
