Salesforce Eyes Informatica to Boost Data Capabilities
Salesforce Inc.’s Marc Benioff is pursuing what would be one of the company’s biggest-ever deals after fending off activist investors critical of his reliance on acquisitions.
Benioff is in talks to buy Informatica Inc., according to people familiar with the matter, in a move that would add to Salesforce’s data integration and management capabilities. The companies could reach a deal as soon as within a week, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks were private. A final agreement could take longer than that, or the talks could still end without one, they added.
