Salesforce Is Back in Talks to Acquire Informatica

Salesforce Inc. is in talks to acquire software company Informatica Inc., rebooting a pursuit that fell through last year, people familiar with the matter said.

If a deal is reached, it could be announced as soon as next week, according to the people, who asked to not be identified because the discussions are private. No final decision has been made and talks may still falter or another buyer could emerge, they said.
