Product data deserves a dedicated platform

Product data is our top priority, and our roadmap answers to nothing else. Unlike broader data management suites, PXDC is built around one mission: to help you govern, enrich, an activate product data at scale.

One platform for the entire lifecycle

Every stage of product data runs through a single platform, from onboarding and enrichment to governance and syndication. That makes PXDC your single source of truth, scaling to enterprise SKU volumes, deep taxonomy and classification, and delivery to every channel with no silos or gaps to bridge.

Your stack, your call

PXDC is an open, API-first platform that supports hybrid and multi-cloud deployments. You pick the ecosystem, the integrations, and the timeline. No forced migrations and nothing that ties you to a single vendor.

What changed when Salesforce bought Informatica

Salesforce completed its acquisition of Informatica on November 18, 2025. Here’s what that means for Product 360 users.

The acquisition is complete

Salesforce paid roughly $8 billion in equity for Informatica, and the deal closed ahead of the original timeline. Informatica's data catalog, integration, governance, data quality and privacy, metadata management, and MDM services now belong to the Salesforce platform.

A larger platform now shapes the roadmap

Salesforce has been clear that Informatica plays a strategic role in its broader AI and data platform vision. For organizations already invested in the Salesforce ecosystem, that alignment may create new opportunities. But it also means that Product 360’s future direction sits within a much larger platform roadmap. If your priorities evolve differently, you’ll need to consider how closely those priorities align with Salesforce’s own strategic focus.

Integration into Salesforce is the plan on record

Salesforce has said it will move fast to fold Informatica's technology into its ecosystem. If your business runs outside the Salesforce world, you now have licensing terms, migration paths, and platform flexibility to think through.

How the two platforms stack up

Where a vendor is headed matters just as much as what it ships today. Here's how Stibo Systems Product Experience Data Cloud compares with Informatica Product 360, now and into the future.

Category	Stibo Systems PXDC	Informatica Product 360

Strategic focus	Covers the full product data lifecycle, from supplier onboarding to enrichment and syndication	Provides product data management as part of a broader enterprise data management strategy
Ownership and direction	Independently owned, with one platform developed in-house for 25+ years	Acquired by Salesforce in November 2025, with a stated plan to integrate its technology into the Salesforce ecosystem
Vendor independence and multi-cloud support	Cloud-native, API-first platform that supports hybrid and multi-cloud deployments	Suited for organizations committed to the Salesforce ecosystem; teams outside it should weigh the integration roadmap
Integration and transformation	Supports ETL and ELT with a wide range of connectors, APIs and AI-powered enrichment and mapping	ETL capabilities focused on structured data integration
Governance and lineage	Data governance built in, with data quality rules and change auditing	Governance features that may require added configuration for complete lineage tracking
Orchestration and workflow control	Scheduling, real-time triggers, dependency graphs, monitoring and workflow automation in the platform	Capable orchestration that may require additional tools for advanced automation
Architecture and performance	Microservices architecture built for millions of records, complex workflows and simultaneous global users	Scalable, but performance planning matters as data volume and complexity grow
Total cost of ownership	Straightforward SaaS model with predictable total cost of ownership	Licensing is in transition under Salesforce; confirm terms before committing
Best fit	Teams that want a dedicated product data platform and the freedom to choose their own stack	Teams standardizing on Salesforce that want product data managed inside that ecosystem

The fundamental difference: Whose priorities drive the platform

Stibo Systems built an entire company around product data management. PXDC covers the full journey, from the moment data enters your system to delivery across every channel, and when you ask for something on the roadmap, it competes only with other product data priorities.

With Informatica, product data now sits inside a much larger company. Salesforce has stated that its priority is a data foundation for its AI agents, which means Product 360 requests compete with everything else on an $8 billion platform's agenda. If Salesforce is the core of your operations, that alignment may work in your favor. If it isn't, you're betting your PIM on someone else's platform strategy.

What a dedicated platform means for you:

A roadmap you can influence: When you need a feature, your request goes to a team whose only job is product data. It isn't ranked against CRM updates or an AI initiative three divisions away.
No waiting on a merger: When one company absorbs another, engineers spend years making the two systems work together. Stibo Systems has no merger to digest, so its engineers spend that time building features you'll use.
Works with the tools you already have: PXDC connects to your existing ERP, e-commerce, and cloud systems. You won't be told to switch your other software to keep your PIM running well.
Predictable pricing and planning: Your contract, roadmap, and platform strategy sit with one vendor. No new owner showing up mid-contract with new terms.
Support from people who know product data: When you call, you reach specialists in data stewardship, catalogs, SKUs and syndication, not a general help desk covering a dozen products.
