Salesforce Doubles Down on Agentic AI to Transform Partner Ecosystem

Salesforce is making a major push into agentic artificial intelligence with its newest offering, Agentforce for Partner Community, now integrated directly into the Salesforce Partner Community platform, according to Channel Futures. Lynne Zaledonis, EVP of Customer Success and Partner Marketing at Salesforce, hailed the tool as a “game-changing innovation” that enables consulting and systems integrator partners to tap into round-the-clock AI support, streamline operations, and accelerate case resolution through real-time conversational assistance. Unlike traditional chatbots, Agentforce doesn’t just fetch technical and programmatic answers—it can also execute actions, such as extending Trial Orgs. By tackling workflow inefficiencies and breaking down data silos, Salesforce aims to equip partners with the tools needed to guide clients through every stage of AI adoption, from initial assessment to full implementation. As consulting partners roll out Agentforce, Zaledonis noted that this shift toward AI-driven operations is reshaping business models and demanding new skill sets. To support partners in this transition, Salesforce is rolling out workshops, certifications, and strategic playbooks—helping them adapt, monetize, and spearhead the move toward an AI-powered future.

Whoever cracks reliable, scalable atomic power first could gain an insurmountable edge in the AI arms race.

Nuclear Energy’s Resurgence

Nuclear Energy’s Resurgence: Can It Power the AI Revolution? The Nuclear Renaissance Takes Shape As the world grapples with soaring energy demands from AI and electrification, nuclear power is experiencing an unexpected revival. The reopening of plants and new investments suggest a shifting energy landscape—but can supply keep pace with the explosive demand for clean, reliable power? A Long-Planned Comeback Aniket Shah, Jefferies’ Global Head of Sustainability and Transition Strategy, notes that the nuclear resurgence isn’t sudden. The U.S. has been laying the groundwork for years through strategic partnerships, recognizing nuclear’s critical role in the energy transition. Key Drivers of the Nuclear Boom: The Execution Challenge Despite momentum, Shah warns of hurdles: Why AI is Fueling Nuclear’s Second Act The Power Demand Shock Durgesh Chopra, Evercore ISI Managing Director, highlights AI and electrification as the twin engines of energy demand. Data centers alone could double U.S. electricity consumption growth by 2030, per McKinsey. Why Utilities Are Betting on Nuclear: A Golden Era for Utilities? After a decade of stagnant demand, utilities now face a historic opportunity: The Road Ahead: Can Nuclear Scale Fast Enough? Opportunities ✅ SMRs & Advanced Reactors: Faster to deploy than traditional plants.✅ Tech’s Deep Pockets: Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are bankrolling innovation.✅ Policy Momentum: The U.S. recently streamlined nuclear approvals. Risks ⚠️ Labor Gaps: Training programs must expand rapidly.⚠️ Supply Chain Bottlenecks: Rare earth metals and reactor components face shortages.⚠️ Public Perception: Overcoming nuclear’s stigma remains a hurdle. The Bottom Line Nuclear energy is no longer a relic of the past—it’s becoming the keystone of AI’s future. While challenges persist, the alignment of tech investment, policy support, and energy economics suggests atomic power is poised for a lasting comeback. For investors, utilities, and tech giants alike, the message is clear: The race to scale nuclear is on. Whoever cracks the code first will power the next era of innovation.

Agentic AI is Here

How IT Leaders Are Deploying Agentic AI to Transform Business Workflows

The next wave of enterprise AI isn’t just about chatbots—it’s about autonomous agents that execute complex workflows end-to-end. Leading CIOs and CTOs are now embedding agentic AI across sales, customer service, finance, and IT operations to drive efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. “We’re not just automating tasks—we’re reimagining how work gets done,” says Kellie Romack, CDIO at ServiceNow. The momentum is undeniable: So where are the biggest impacts? Here’s how forward-thinking execs are deploying AI agents today. 🚀 Top Use Cases for Agentic AI 1. Supercharging Sales & Pipeline Growth “Agentic AI helps sales teams focus on high-potential clients while automating routine follow-ups.” — Jay Upchurch, CIO, SAS 2. Hyper-Personalized Customer Experiences “We cut student research time from 35 minutes to under 3—freeing advisors for deeper mentorship.” — Siva Kumari, CEO, College Possible 3. Self-Healing IT & Security Operations Gartner predicts AI will reduce manual data integration work by 60%. 4. Frictionless Back-Office Automation “We’re targeting repetitive, rules-based workflows first—like finance and procurement.” — Milind Shah, CTO, Xerox 🔑 Key Implementation Insights What’s Working ✅ Start with high-volume, repetitive tasks (e.g., ticket routing, data entry)✅ Prioritize workflows with clean, structured data✅ Use AI for augmentation—not replacement Biggest Challenges ⚠️ Data integration hurdles (55% of leaders cite this as #1 blocker)⚠️ Governance & compliance risks⚠️ Testing non-deterministic AI outputs “The real breakthrough comes when AI agents collaborate across systems—not just operate in silos.” — Kellie Romack, ServiceNow 🔮 The Future: From Assistants to Autonomous Decision-Makers Early adopters see agentic AI evolving in three phases: Salesforce, Microsoft, and IBM are already rolling out agentic frameworks—but only 11% of enterprises have full-scale adoption today. “Soon, thousands of AI agents will work in the background like a digital workforce—always on, always improving.” — Romack Your Move Where could agentic AI eliminate bottlenecks in your workflows? The most successful implementations: The question isn’t if you’ll deploy AI agents—but where they’ll drive the most value first. How is your organization experimenting with agentic AI?

Why AI Won't Kill SaaS

Why AI Won’t Kill SaaS

Why AI Won’t Kill SaaS (Yet) – The Missing Link in Enterprise Intelligence The rise of generative AI has sparked speculation about the demise of SaaS—but the reality is more nuanced. While AI holds transformative potential, today’s enterprise software vendors still play a critical role: providing the structured context that AI lacks. The AI Accuracy Problem: Plausible vs. Precise Generative AI excels at producing human-like responses, but its probabilistic nature makes it unreliable for mission-critical enterprise tasks. Whether validating financial transactions, ensuring compliance, or executing safety protocols, businesses need deterministic accuracy—not just statistically likely answers. Why SaaS Isn’t Going Anywhere (For Now) AI won’t replace SaaS because raw data is meaningless without context. Just as Google’s PageRank used web links to rank authoritative sources, enterprise software provides the structured frameworks that make AI useful in business. How SaaS Vendors Are Bridging the Gap Leading enterprise platforms are codifying decades of institutional knowledge into AI-ready systems: As Rahul Auradkar (EVP, Salesforce) explains: “The intelligence of LLMs is just one piece. The real value comes from feeding them the right data, driving automations, and contextualizing insights—something SaaS platforms already do.” The Future: AI Absorbs SaaS Knowledge (Then Renders It Obsolete?) Today, AI relies on SaaS for grounding and governance. But what happens when LLMs develop their own “world models” of business? The Bottom Line AI won’t kill SaaS—it will consume it. Enterprise software’s structured knowledge is the training data for tomorrow’s autonomous agents. Once AI internalizes these systems, the need for traditional SaaS may fade. But for now, SaaS isn’t just surviving—it’s enabling AI’s evolution. The Takeaway: The real disruption isn’t AI replacing SaaS—it’s AI learning from it until it no longer needs to.

Access Salesforce With Email Address

Access Salesforce With Email Address

Log In with Your Email Address Use your email address instead of your username to access your Salesforce account. If you have multiple accounts, Salesforce displays them so you can choose the correct one and complete authentication. Availability How It Works Each Salesforce user has a unique username (formatted like an email) and a verified email address. Since your email is always associated with your account, you can use it to log in instead of remembering a complex username. When you click “Log In with Email” and enter your address: How to Access Finding Your Email & Username Your account includes both an email and a username (which may or may not match your email). Check your account settings if you need to confirm these details. Logging In with Multiple Accounts Adding or Switching Emails If you’ve logged in before, Salesforce shows previously used emails. You can select one or enter a different address.
