Cloudera expands AI ecosystem with four new enterprise partners
Cloudera has announced the expansion of its Enterprise AI Ecosystem with four new partnerships designed to deliver production-ready artificial intelligence solutions for customers.
The new partnerships with ServiceNow, Fundamental, Galileo.ai, and Pulse aim to strengthen Cloudera's AI capabilities and address areas including predictive modelling, workflow automation, document intelligence, and AI observability.
Industry shift
As use of AI matures in the enterprise sector, many organisations have moved from initial experimentation with technologies such as retrieval-augmented generation and copilots, to implementing predictive engines for structured data and AI-driven workflow automation.
This trend also includes large-scale document intelligence and observability to ensure reliability in deployed models.
Cloudera offers a data foundation that enables AI to be embedded into existing business functions, providing enterprises with the ability to integrate AI directly into operations such as customer experience, supply chain forecasting, and compliance processes.
The platform combines AI-ready data with AI agents, aiming to shift customers from experimentation to having AI adopted across functional teams.
Partnership details
ServiceNow's integration will focus on combining its Workflow Data Fabric zero copy connector with Cloudera's data foundation.
This is intended to allow organisations to access real-time enterprise data without duplication, streamlining business operations across IT, HR, finance, customer service, and compliance, while enabling predictive insights to drive automation within enterprise workflows.
Fundamental has developed a foundation model targeted at prediction on tabular enterprise data, including use cases such as churn prediction, credit risk, fraud detection, and forecasting. The model is pre-trained on diverse datasets and requires no parameter tuning or feature engineering, which enables enterprises to deploy predictive models within their existing Cloudera environment securely and at scale.
"Fundamental makes predictive AI on tabular data simple and powerful," said Jeremy Fraenkel, CEO and Founder of Fundamental.
"Unlike foundation models trained on text or images, ours is purpose-built for the structured data that runs every enterprise, from transactions to customer records. Partnering with Cloudera, enterprises can now apply this predictive foundation model across their most critical datasets without the complexity of custom pipelines or tuning."
Pulse provides a document processing engine designed to convert unstructured documents, like contracts or claims, into structured, large language model-ready data. By incorporating Pulse into Cloudera's platform, the aim is to automate data flows from documents directly into enterprise resource planning and compliance systems, enhancing the integration of unstructured data with structured data management and subsequent AI workflows.
"Turning unstructured information into structured insights is one of the biggest challenges in enterprise AI," said Sid Manchkanti, CEO and Co-founder, Pulse.
"By integrating Pulse's document processing capabilities into Cloudera's platform, customers can unlock the full value of their documents, seamlessly feeding LLM-ready data into advanced AI workflows."
Galileo.ai focuses on AI observability, helping organisations monitor and validate their AI systems in real time. Their platform tracks model accuracy and reliability, ensuring that AI deployments, whether for tabular data or insights generated from document pipelines, remain trustworthy over time.
"Trust and transparency are essential for AI in production," said Vikram Chatterji, CEO and Co-founder, Galileo.ai. "
With Cloudera, we're equipping enterprises with the tools they need to test, evaluate, monitor, guardrail and maintain their AI applications at scale-ensuring accuracy and reliability even as data, models and conditions evolve."
Industry support
Abhas Ricky, Chief Strategy Officer at Cloudera, commented on the development:
"The Enterprise AI Ecosystem has become a cornerstone of our strategy to help large enterprises navigate the complexities of AI adoption. Our newest partners bring specialised capabilities that directly address the biggest challenges our customers face today: operationalising AI and agentic workflows at scale with ServiceNow, ensuring transparency, reliability, and accuracy with Galileo.ai and Pulse, and unlocking the next generation of AI on structured data with Fundamental."
Cloudera's AI Ecosystem already includes partnerships with companies such as NVIDIA, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Anthropic, Snowflake, Pinecone, and CrewAI. The company's strategy is to build a broad network of specialist partners to meet the diverse requirements of deploying large-scale AI in enterprises and to allow customers to adopt autonomous decision-making with robust governance and transparency.
