Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Informatica, a leader in cloud data management, launched its first Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) in Saudi Arabia, as part of its efforts to support local, scalable, cloud-first data management services, the company announced in a statement.

Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), the IDMC is a comprehensive cloud-native data management platform that enables enterprises to visualize, analyze, and collaborate with all their data regardless of location or platform.

Informatica also plans to establish a new Point of delivery (POD) in Riyadh.

This investment supports Saudi Arabia’s bold move to become a cloud-first and digitally empowered country and accelerates the Kingdom’s goal of becoming a global tech hub by 2030.

The regional PoD will enable Informatica to support local partners and organizations with its cloud data management platform in compliance with local regulations. It is also expected to speed up the shift of government organizations from traditional IT systems to a secure and cloud-based alternative.

Jitesh Ghai, Chief Product Officer at Informatica, said: “By having a significant cloud, data, and AI presence in the Kingdom, we will be providing organizations with an in-country AI-powered data infrastructure to run their cloud-based technology solutions. This can enable them to unlock the value of their data while ensuring that it remains secure, well-governed, and in region.”

By launching the Riyadh PoD, customers can enjoy the full breadth of services including the Cloud Data Marketplace, designed to intuitively increase data sharing, improve productivity, and enable organizations to make more informed decisions.
