ZDNET Japan これは、生成AIによるインテリジェントなチャットボットのレベルであれば、関連するドキュメント類を学習させて適切なチューニングを実施することで、実用的なシステムとして活用できるケースが多いのに対し、一部とは言え、業務プロセスを任せられるAIエージェントを準備するためにどのようなデータがどれくらいあればいいかを直感的に把握することができない上、データの品質が低いなどの問題が出てきてしまい、難易度が一気に跳ね上がってしまうためだろう。 さらに、歴史の長い日本企業ではデジタルトランスフォーメーション（DX）の実現を妨げている要因ともなっているレガシーシステムの問題もある。適切なモダナイズが実施されないまま延命を繰り返しているレガシーシステムに重要な業務データが格納されていたりするのだが、こうしたデータを適切なタイミングで抜き出してAIに学習させていくためにはどうすれば良いのか、明確なロードマップが見えないことで困惑している企業も少なくないのではないだろうか。 Informatica アジア太平洋・日本地域担当シニアバイスプレジデントのScott氏 同社は、メタデータを活用したデータカタログを基盤として分散したデータの統合や、システムごとに差異のあるデータを信頼できる単一のデータとしてまとめ上げるためのマスターデータ管理（MDM）などに強みを持つ。ここでは、同社のアジア太平洋・日本地域担当シニアバイスプレジデントのRchard Scott（リチャード・スコット）氏に、AI時代に必須となるデータ管理の基本的な考え方について聞いた。 Salesforceとの統合に向けて 2025年5月27日に、SalesforceはInformatica買収に関する最終合意を締結したことを 発表 した。「Agentforce」などの取り組みを通じてエンタープライズユーザーのエージェンティックAIの活用を強力に推進しているSalesforceが、AIを支えるデータ基盤の実現のためにInformaticaとの統合を選んだ形だ。 統合作業は現在進行中で、現在両社はそれぞれ独立の企業体として事業を継続しており、2025年11月～2026年2月の間で統合が完了することが見込まれているという。この統合についてScott氏は「5000人規模の企業が8万人規模の企業に加わるということで、ワクワクしている。統合後は、Informaticaの『Data Cloud』がアップデートされ、現段階では『Data 360』と呼ばれている新しいデータ基盤となる予定だ。Salesforceが以前に買収済みの『Mulesoft』とIDMCの間には機能の重複がほとんどなく、補完的な形でシナジーを発揮できると考えている」と語った。 現時点では両社の統合に関する新情報は特に公表されていないが、買収発表時のプレスリリースには「契約完了後、Salesforceはインフォマティカの技術基盤を迅速に統合する計画。これには、Agentforce向けのデータ統合、品質管理、ガバナンス、統一メタデータ管理に加え、Data Cloud上のMDMを含む単一のデータパイプラインが含まれる。この『理解のシステム』をSalesforceエコシステムにシームレスに組み込み、さらなる価値創出を目指す」と書かれており、両社のデータ基盤の深いレベルで統合が実施されることが期待される。 一方でInformaticaの基本的な戦略は変わることはないという。同氏は「Informaticaはデータの世界における“スイス”（＝永世中立国）であり続けるという戦略を変えない。われわれは5万種ものネイティブコネクターを用意しており、あらゆるベンダーの製品と接続できる」と語り、多種多様な製品／システムを対象にデータ統合が可能であるという強みが今後も維持されると強調した。
