Salesforce and IBM Join Hands for Enterprise AI Benefits

Salesforce, renowned for its CRM software has announced a partnership with IBM bringing its potent arsenal of AI tools with IBM's extensive consulting services. These AI tools include SalesGPT, Service GPT, Salesforce Einstein, Slack GPT, and Marketing GPT.

This will be a groundbreaking alliance between Salesforce and IBM offering customers a number of advanced AI tools and consulting services. The partnership will witness Salesforce's suite of enterprise AI tools integrated into IBM's consultancy products which will ultimately revolutionize the way businesses approach digital transformation.

Here, IBM's Consulting division also known as the IBM Consulting arm will be in charge of implementing Salesforce AI tools as a core component of its Garage digital transformation offering. Businesses seeking guidance from IBM's consultancy services will now have the opportunity to harness the power of Salesforce's AI capabilities.

Over the years IBM has successfully integrated Salesforce and Watsonx to improve its internal sales and service processes. The collaboration between these enterprises has benefitted their partner ecosystems and customers alike.

One of the highlights of this partnership is immediate availability and client-centric pricing as businesses interested in this integrated offering can access it immediately through IBM consulting with a primary focus on IBM Garage. However, pricing for these services will be customized on an individual client basis by IBM.

Notably, the pricing of Salesforce remains unchanged following this partnership and the recent increase in August, making it a pivotal move for the company's financial growth.

As Salesforce prepares for its yearly Dreamforce convention, this alliance follows a remarkable week for the company. The business recently revealed outstanding Q2 2024 results, outperforming forecasts with a staggering 11% year-over-year revenue growth.

Salesforce's strategic approach, which includes significant purchases like Slack and Tableau as well as internal optimization techniques, has undoubtedly paid off. It has been winning over investors and setting the business up for future success.

Salesforce is anticipating Dreamforce, which will take place from 12–14 September and is excited about its recent financial success. The company has made news for both its business acumen and for booking the Foo Fighters as the event's headlining act. Needless to say, Salesforce's journey towards digital innovation and customer success has reached a key turning point with the cooperation with IBM.
