Generative AI innovations are driving increased investments across industries, with McKinsey’s survey indicating a surge in companies planning to expand their AI investments. This underscores the critical need for robust data accuracy to support these advancements. Databricks Unity Catalog is instrumental in managing complex data environments, particularly for machine learning models and transient data sources. Its departmental implementation offers flexibility and scalability crucial for advanced analytics initiatives, including Generative AI applications.

Data vetted through Unity Catalog seamlessly integrates into Informatica’s Data Management Cloud, empowering various use cases across the enterprise. Enhancements in Informatica’s Data Management Cloud and Databricks facilitate rapid innovation by providing accurate, reliable, and well-understood data. Integrating Databricks Unity Catalog with Informatica CDGC presents challenges due to the latter’s focus on enterprise-level data governance. However, containing Generative AI within Databricks ensures innovation without compromising overall data governance.
