# Salesforce Presents Defense Data Integration

Salesforce executive Peter Lington described an architecture for connecting fragmented defense data using Informatica for data management, MuleSoft for API-led integration, and Data 360 for data unification. The approach emphasizes SaaS, zero-trust compliance, and integrating legacy systems without replacing them. The discussion identified no solicitation, contract, funding, or procurement timeline, so it is market and technology context rather than a current contracting opportunity.

- Procurement teams evaluating defense data platforms can use the described architecture as a reference point for assessing data management, API integration, and data unification capabilities.
- The focus on integrating legacy systems without replacing them highlights interoperability as a consideration for modernization planning; zero-trust compliance is also part of the solution discussion.
- Salesforce, Informatica, and MuleSoft are identified in the architecture, but the signal does not establish a vendor selection, award, or agency requirement.
