The deal, one of 2025’s largest enterprise software and AI transactions, relied on ShareVault’s platform for seamless, secure due diligence across global teams.

The Informatica acquisition, valued at $25 per share for Informatica’s Class A and B-1 common stock, enhances Salesforce’s Data Cloud and Agentforce, creating a robust AI-driven data platform. “The combination of Informatica’s rich data catalog, governance, and MDM services with Salesforce’s platform will establish a unified architecture for agentic AI,” Salesforce stated. ShareVault’s VDR was critical in managing the complex due diligence process, handling thousands of sensitive documents and cross-functional reviews under tight timelines.
“Deals like this require more than secure storage — they demand clarity, speed, and precision,” said Steven Monterroso, CEO of ShareVault. The platform’s role-based access control and real-time audit tracking ensured secure, efficient coordination across global teams, mitigating risks in the high-stakes transaction.
ShareVault’s cloud-based VDR, trusted by investment banks, M&A advisors, and private equity firms, features bank-grade security, intuitive workflows, and AI-powered tools like redaction and Clickwrap NDAs. These capabilities streamlined the Informatica-Salesforce deal, which required managing complex workflows in the dynamic cloud-native data management market. ShareVault’s partnership with AM&AA, announced in 2025, further extends its reach to over 1,100 middle-market M&A professionals.
The global VDR market, valued at $2.1B in 2024, is projected to reach $4.2B by 2030, driven by AI and data-intensive M&A. Posts on X, such as from @Benioff, highlight the deal’s significance, stating it unites “the #1 AI CRM with the #1 AI MDM & ETL” to power Salesforce’s AI initiatives. @EconomyApp noted the acquisition’s aim to create “the most complete, agent-ready data platform.” Salesforce’s Q1 FY26 results, due May 28, 2025, are expected to reflect the deal’s financial impact, with analysts projecting $8.9B revenue, up 6.5% year-over-year.
