Salesforce Is Building an AI Ready Platform

Salesforce is the leading customer relationship management, or CRM, software vendor and is repositioning its broad front-office suite as the operating platform for the agentic enterprise. The strategic logic is increasingly end-to-end: Customer 360 applications supply the workflows and business context; Data 360, MuleSoft, and Informatica connect, govern, and harmonize enterprise data; Agentforce supplies the agentic layer; and Slack can serve as the conversational interface. We think this combination, together with Salesforce's installed base and distribution reach, gives the company a credible role even when customers use third-party models.
