Analysis:Unglamorous world of 'data infrastructure' driving hot tech M&A market in AI race
Weighed down by tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty, dealmaking has slowed to a crawl across most industries except one: the unglamorous world of data infrastructure. The companies that process the data used to build advanced AI models have become highly sought after targets for legacy tech companies like Meta, Salesforce, and ServiceNow in the scramble to stay competitive against the likes of OpenAI, Google and Anthropic. 'AI without data is like life without oxygen, it doesn't exist,' said Brian Marshall, global co-head of software investment banking at Citi. 'Because of that, data is having a zeitgeist moment right now driven by AI,' Marshall said. Tech deals are one of the few bright spots in an otherwise gloomy M&A market, accounting for $421 billion of the $1.67 trillion in global deals announced in the first five months of the year, or about 25 per cent of total M&A, according to preliminary data compiled for Reuters by Dealogic. That's up from about 20 per cent last year and 17 per cent in 2023, the data shows. Of the tech deals, those involving AI software makers accounted for almost three quarters of the overall value, the data shows. SPEED MATTERS Goldman Sachs Managing Director Matthew Lucas, who focuses on M&A relating to all aspects of computing, said enterprise data, as it applies to use in AI, is the 'most dynamic area in software M&A right now.' 'There's a very strong perception that speed matters a lot, getting there first matters a lot, and that tends to lend itself to doing M&A,' Lucas said. The software firms that help companies manage their data on cloud-based systems are increasingly valuable commodities as the number of such potential targets is rapidly shrinking. Enterprise data infrastructure and analytics companies like Confluent, Collibra, Sigma Computing, Matillion, Dataiku, Fivetran, Boomi, and Qlik, could become targets for legacy tech providers in the near term, investment bankers say. The companies, they say, may help businesses integrate, analyze, and store information better. Executives for Boomi, Dataiku, Fivetran, and Qlik all said they weren't surprised by the attention. "Messy, siloed data has long undermined the attempts of enterprises to deliver on the transformative potential of analytics. Now, with the urgency to deploy effective AI, fixing it isn't just essential — it's existential," Florian Douetteau, co-founder and CEO of Dataiku, said in a statement. Requests for comment from Confluent, Collibra, Sigma Computing, and Matillion weren't immediately returned. LEGACY TECH BUYS IN Several multibillion-dollar deals for data infrastructure companies have been struck or closed just in the last few weeks. Meta announced Friday a $14.8 billion deal for a 49 per cent stake in data-labeling company Scale AI. Salesforce announced plans last month to buy data integration company Informatica for $8 billion. Artificial intelligence is driving a once-in-a-generation makeover in tech that's forcing several of the largest social media platforms and software makers to buy companies that help AI-backed systems run smoothly. Worldwide, generative AI spending is expected to total $644 billion in 2025, an increase of 76.4 per cent from 2024, according to a forecast by technology data provider Gartner. In early May, IT management provider ServiceNow said it was buying data catalogue platform which will allow ServiceNow to better understand the business context behind data, executives said when it was announced. The Salesforce acquisition of Informatica, announced late last month, will allow Salesforce to better analyze and assimilate scattered data from across its internal and external systems before feeding it into its in-house AI system, Einstein AI, executives said at the time. IBM closed on its acquisition of data management provider DataStax the very next day. IBM said the deal, announced in February, will allow it to manage and process unstructured data before feeding it to its AI platform. BAD AI ADVICE Those deals highlight the strategic importance for legacy software players to own all aspects of data management, and M&A is often the fastest way to achieve it. Instead of building complex data systems from scratch, they are acquiring specialists that can help organize, clean, and connect data from across their business. Would-be targets have sometimes become the hunters as was the case when Databricks, a leader in data processing and AI that was recently valued at $62 billion, announced plans last week to buy serverless database manager Neon for $1 billion. But dealmakers warned that companies can't just buy any kind of data and throw it into an AI system and expect good results. Air Canada <> was found liable in small claims court and forced to refund airfare last year after one of its AI chatbots gave a customer bad advice. Those types of errors can happen if the wrong kind of unfiltered data is imported into an AI engine, tech dealmakers say. 'A lot of companies have a huge amount of data, but I think they're learning that you can't just funnel every piece of data you have into an AI engine with no organization, and hope that it spits out the right answer,' said Brian Mangino, partner at Latham & Watkins.

Adobe shares slide as investors skeptical of quicker AI-adoption returns
Adobe's shares dropped 7 per cent in early trading on Friday as investors' concern that the company's AI adoption into its software tools could take longer to fetch returns, overshadowed a raised annual revenue forecast. "(We see) increasing concerns surrounding competitive pressures and a longer time horizon to reach notable AI monetization," said Angelo Zino, senior equity analyst at CFRA Research. The San Jose, California-based creative software veteran is relied on by creatives for its tools including Photoshop and Premiere Pro. The company said in April that it would add AI models from OpenAI and Google to Firefly, its generative AI tool. The tool allows users to create and edit images and videos for commercial purposes through basic text prompts without facing copyright challenges. "While guidance was raised and management remains positive around demand generation, it feels like it will take more time to prove out these (AI) initiatives and quiet concerns of competition around GenAI," RBC analysts said in a note. Adobe now expects full-year 2025 revenue between $23.50 billion and $23.60 billion, up from its prior estimates of $23.30 billion to $23.55 billion. At least five brokerages cut their price target on the Adobe stock following the second-quarter results. Including session's losses, the stock has fallen around 13 per cent so far this year.

Google Cloud and Digital Industry Singapore launch programme to spearhead AI development among companies
[SINGAPORE] Digitally-mature companies keen on doing more in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) will now have the opportunity to tap a new programme. The AI Cloud Take-Off Programme launched on Friday (Jun 13) is a joint venture between Google Cloud and Digital Industry Singapore (DISG). It aims to establish AI centres of excellence in 300 digitally-mature, Singapore-based companies over the next 12 months, said a Google Cloud spokesperson. DISG is a joint office between the Economic Development Board, Enterprise Singapore and Infocomm Media Development Authority. The selected companies stand to receive up to S$500,000 in financial incentives, the spokesperson added. This programme supersedes the AI Trailblazer programme run by Google Cloud and other government agencies such as Ministry of Digital Development and Information, DISG and Smart Nation Group. The spokesperson said: 'The market is now at a different stage of AI maturity, one where most organisations we engage with have already tried and adopted at least one enterprise AI solution.' BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up For a company to be considered digitally-mature, it needs to: Be able to commit at least three technical staff to a six-month programme, including a two-week AI capacity building bootcamp, hosted by Google Cloud experts; Have formal support from an executive sponsor, for example a senior management representative from the company, who will take part in the six-month programme; Have at least one AI use case ready to be worked on. On top of the S$500,000 in financial incentives, companies picked to go on the programme will get a chance to work with a DISG-appointed, Google Cloud-certified technical consultancy and implementation partner of their choice to establish their AI centre of excellence. Google Cloud partners appointed by DISG for this programme include Accenture, AsiaPac, CloudMile, Deloitte, Kendryl, NTT Data and Searce, said Google Cloud in a statement. 'This will empower (companies) to create AI-driven intellectual property, products and services that boost their competitiveness and unlock new revenue opportunities,' said its spokesperson. Firms are required to achieve a few milestones to qualify for the S$500,000 in financial incentives. A government grant will cover 70 per cent, capped at S$105,000, of the cost of the company's use of professional services and cloud services during the programme. It will be unlocked only when the company successfully develops and pilots at least one minimum viable product to address its AI use case. Another S$200,000 worth of licences and credits for Google Cloud Skills Boost for Organisations will be disbursed to facilitate employee training and change management. The last S$195,000 in Google Cloud credits will be disbursed if and when the company is ready to scale its minimum viable product and commit to doing so with Google Cloud's support. Additional Google Cloud credits may be awarded on a case-by-case basis. Point-of-sale management system firm Embed was one of the 30 companies selected by Google Cloud for the pilot programme that started in November 2024. Embed has a presence in 60 countries, including Singapore, where it works with arcade Timezone, and has a global reach of 97 million individual players. Using generative AI, the company developed an AI-supported kiosk that is able to provide customised game recommendations to players who are adding credits to their payment card. Andy Welsh, Embed's chief technology officer who responded to queries from The Business Times, said he expects the headcount of Embed in Singapore to go up by about half a dozen following the AI Cloud Take-Off project. Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling said in her speech at the launch of the programme at Mapletree Business City in Pasir Panjang that Singapore strongly believes in the transformative impact of AI, and supports the widespread use and adoption of AI across sectors. 'AI can spur enterprise and workforce transformation. It enables firms to automate manual business processes and augment workers skills, raising productivity, driving innovation, and further growing business revenue,' she said. She described the AI Cloud Take-Off Programme as a powerful launchpad for companies on their AI innovation journey, from early experimentation to full-scale transformation. 'Companies with the drive to pursue AI innovation and eventually establish AI centres of excellence in Singapore can tap into Google's robust AI ecosystem to accelerate their journey,' she said.
