Informatica & Oracle advance AI & data management on OCI

Informatica has announced an expanded partnership with Oracle to facilitate unified, governed master records and support agentic artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for customers deploying solutions on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

The company outlined four main developments aimed at optimising data management and enabling AI workloads for enterprises. These include the Blueprint for Agentic AI on OCI, IDMC MCP Server Support, Master Data Management (MDM) Capability on OCI, and Informatica's Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) support within Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer (DRCC).

Blueprint for Agentic AI

The Blueprint for Agentic AI on OCI is designed to streamline development for AI agents by providing pre-built connectors, no-code tools, recipes, and a robust API layer. According to Informatica, this framework is generally available and aims to accelerate the creation, deployment, and operation of agent-driven applications on Oracle's cloud platform.

The integration offers a differentiated approach to managing data for AI use cases, furthering the automation potential for businesses adopting Oracle Cloud. It targets enterprises seeking to move from AI experimentation to scaled production outcomes.

Enterprise Data Management Capabilities

Building on its cloud data management portfolio, Informatica introduced dedicated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server support within its IDMC platform. The server allows AI initiatives to access Informatica's data management functions through the widely adopted MCP protocol, facilitating faster deployment of enterprise agentic AI projects. Informatica stated the MCP Server for Claire Agents is scheduled for release in April 2026.

Additionally, Informatica's Master Data Management Software-as-a-Service (MDM SaaS) solution is being deployed natively on OCI. This service aims to deliver trusted, unified data from various business domains, including customer, supplier, product, patient, and provider data. Informatica has emphasised the security, performance, and cloud-native efficiency of this offering, with MDM on OCI planned for general availability beginning November 2025 in Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer pods.

Support for Regulatory Requirements

The announcement also includes full support for Informatica's IDMC platform within OCI Dedicated Region environments. This allows organisations to run the complete suite of IDMC services-including MDM and data governance tools-in a private, sovereign cloud. The move is intended to assist customers in meeting complex regulatory and data-residency obligations, especially relevant in industries with stringent compliance requirements.

Industry Perspectives

The partnership was highlighted by Rik Tamm-Daniels, Group Vice President, Ecosystems & Technology at Informatica, who commented on the transition businesses are making towards production-scale AI projects:

"Customers want to move from AI experimentation to scaled, production-grade outcomes with trust. By bringing an agentic AI blueprint, native MDM on OCI, MCP interoperability, and sovereign-cloud deployments together, we're giving Oracle customers a fast on-ramp to intelligent and high-quality trusted data for AI across practically any cloud environment."

David Hicks, Group Vice President, ISV Ecosystem, Oracle North American, provided the Oracle perspective, stating:

"Customers are looking for trusted data platforms to unlock the full potential of AI. With Informatica expanding its OCI-native capabilities, organizations can unify and govern enterprise data more effectively, streamline agentic AI development, and accelerate time-to-value."

New Opportunities for Partners

In addition to direct customer benefits, Informatica's new OCI-native capabilities are positioned to support Oracle's broader partner and systems integrator ecosystem. The integrations are expected to allow for the delivery of AI-powered data solutions across hybrid cloud environments, enable swifter adoption of automation through the new blueprint and MCP support, and facilitate compliance via sovereign cloud options.

Informatica and Oracle stated that establishing a unified source of trusted data is critical for effective AI development, and the new partnership enhancements are intended to address this requirement for a range of industries and regulatory landscapes.
