History
Informatica was founded in 1993 by Gaurav Dhillon and Diaz Nesamoney. On 29 April 1999, its initial public offering on the Nasdaq stock exchange listed its shares under the stock symbol INFA.
In April 2015, Permira and CPP Investments announced that a company controlled by their funds would acquire Informatica for approximately US$5.3 billion; this transaction was completed four months later, receiving investment from Microsoft and Salesforce Ventures as part of the deal.
On August 6 2015, its stock ceased trading on the Nasdaq. On 27 October 2021, Informatica again became publicly traded with the INFA stock symbol at about $10 billion enterprise value, this time listed on the NYSE, opening at $27.55 per share.
In November 2023, five months after acquiring Privitar, a data management tool, the firm announced a restructuring plan to focus on its cloud offerings. It permanently laid off 10% of its workforce and reduced its office space.
In April 2024, the Wall Street Journal reported that Salesforce was in advanced talks to acquire Informatica at a price below its $11 billion market capitalization at the time; the deal was eventually abandoned.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Informatica” as american software company (1993-). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as american software company (1993-). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q941392. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 1999, 2015 and 2021.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
