Perforce Software, a leader in DevOps solutions, has unveiled Delphix AI, an artificial intelligence-powered technology designed to generate synthetic data tailored for secure and efficient software development. Announced on 9 September 2025, this innovation integrates seamlessly into the Delphix DevOps Data Platform, offering development teams a powerful tool to accelerate application delivery while prioritising data security and compliance.
Revolutionising Synthetic Data with AI
Delphix AI introduces a sophisticated language model embedded directly into the Delphix platform, enabling organisations to generate synthetic data that is both customisable and realistic. By uniting data masking, automated data delivery, and synthetic data creation, the platform delivers enterprise-grade solutions for testing, AI/ML model training, and privacy compliance.
According to Perforce, this approach tackles emerging challenges in data management and testing. A Gartner report highlighted the importance of such advancements, predicting that by 2027, 60% of data and analytics leaders will face critical failures in managing synthetic data, risking AI governance, model accuracy, and compliance.
Delphix AI directly addresses these risks, offering built-in AI capabilities trained on Perforce’s intellectual property in data privacy to ensure compliance and reliability.
A Strategic Advantage in Regulated Industries
The integration of Delphix AI into the Delphix DevOps Data Platform is designed to assist development teams in complying with complex privacy regulations while maintaining efficiency. Robert Henning, Lead Technical Staff at Athenahealth, explained the solution’s impact on regulated industries such as healthcare: From a best-practices standpoint, masked data preserves the structure of sensitive values while AI-powered synthetic data contributes safe, compliant data for new scenarios that may not exist in production. Together, they empower organisations in regulated industries, such as healthcare, to protect privacy while still enabling robust testing, analytics, and innovation.
By eliminating dependence on legacy testing tools and manual processes, Delphix AI ensures developers, testers and data scientists always have access to compliant, high-fidelity data for testing and analytics. This capability is particularly critical for meeting the stringent demands of industries that require robust privacy protections.
Pioneering Responsible AI in Data Management
Perforce emphasises the responsible and secure deployment of AI within its platforms. Steve Karam, Principal Product Manager at Perforce, explained: We’re making AI available where it’s historically been forbidden. With a fully air-gapped, in-platform small language model running on CPU only, organisations generate synthetic data inside their IT perimeter, thus harnessing AI responsibly, securely, and cost-effectively.
Delphix AI’s in-platform capabilities ensure that sensitive data remains protected within an organisation’s environment while enabling secure and compliant innovation. The synthetic data generated by the platform is designed to replicate real-world conditions, addressing specific functional needs such as industry or geographic requirements.
Supporting High-Performance Engineering at Scale
Perforce’s commitment to advancing intelligent automation within the testing space underscores its role as a strategic partner for organisations modernising their software delivery processes. Jim Mercer, Program Vice President for Software Development, DevOps & DevSecOps at IDC, noted, As organisations modernise software development and adopt AI, intelligent test data management becomes a strategic enabler of innovation and compliance. Perforce Delphix’s AI-powered capabilities are well-timed to help customers meet evolving challenges in this space.
Future releases from Perforce will further expand these capabilities, including unstructured data discovery and automated data delivery tailored for AI-driven MLOps pipelines. Through its Perforce Intelligence initiative, the company continues to integrate AI across its product suite, aiming to streamline application delivery and unlock new opportunities for innovation.
With Delphix AI, Perforce has positioned itself at the forefront of secure, AI-driven software development, offering a transformative solution for enterprises striving to accelerate performance without compromising compliance or privacy.
