"The combined company aims to deliver an open data infrastructure - unifying data movement, transformation, metadata and activation - while preserving freedom of choice for analytic compute and AI, according to the announcement. The company's vision for an open data infrastructure will reduce engineering complexity by automating data management end-to-end, and work across any compute engine, catalog, BI tool or AI model."
"The data layer is becoming increasingly crucial for businesses that aim to deliver personalized experiences or deploy AI agents. Data needs to be accurate and readily available to help ensure agents don't stray from the intended path and experiences don't fall short. Fivetran's previous acquisitions in 2025 include Census, which it acquired in May, and Tobiko Data, the company behind SQLMesh and SQLGlot, which it bought in September."
