Redefining AI-Driven Customer Service

Salesforce’s Agentforce: Redefining AI-Driven Customer Service Salesforce has made major strides in AI-powered customer service with Agentforce, its agentic AI platform. The CRM leader now resolves 85% of customer queries without human intervention—an achievement driven by three key factors: Speaking at the Agentforce World Tour, Salesforce Co-Founder & CTO Parker Harris emphasized the platform’s role in handling vast volumes of customer interactions. The remaining 15% of queries are escalated to human agents for higher-value interactions, ensuring complex issues receive the necessary expertise. “We’re all shocked by the power of these LLMs. AI has truly hit a tipping point over the past two years,” Harris said. Currently, Agentforce manages 30,000 weekly conversations for Salesforce, proving its growing impact. Yet, the journey to adoption wasn’t without its challenges. From Caution to Acceleration: Agentforce’s Evolution Initially, Salesforce approached the Agentforce rollout with caution, concerned about AI hallucinations and accuracy. However, the company ultimately embraced a learn-by-doing approach. “So, we went for it!” Harris recalled. “We put it out there and improved it every hour. Every interaction helped us refine it.” This iterative process led to significant advancements, with Agentforce now seamlessly handling a high volume of inquiries. Expanding Beyond Customer Support Agentforce’s impact extends beyond customer service—it’s also revolutionizing sales operations at Salesforce. The platform acts as a virtual sales coach for 25,000 sales representatives, offering real-time guidance without the social pressures of a human supervisor. “Salespeople aren’t embarrassed to ask an AI coach questions, which makes them more effective,” Harris noted. This AI-driven coaching has enhanced sales efficiency and confidence, allowing teams to perform at a higher level. Real-World Impact and Competitive Edge Salesforce isn’t just promoting Agentforce—it’s using it to prove its value. Harris shared success stories, including reMarkable, which automated 35% of its customer service inquiries, reducing workload by 7,350 queries per month. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff highlighted this competitive edge during the launch of Agentforce 2.0, pointing out that while many companies talk about AI adoption, few truly implement it at scale. “When you visit their websites, you still find a lot of forms and FAQs—but not a lot of AI agents,” Benioff said. He specifically called out Microsoft, stating: “If you look for Co-Pilot on their website, or how they’re automating support, it’s the same as it was two years ago.” Microsoft pushed back on Benioff’s critique, sparking a war of words between the tech giants. What’s Next for Salesforce? Beyond AI-driven service and sales, Salesforce is making bold moves in IT Service Management (ITSM), positioning itself against competitors like ServiceNow. During a recent Motley Fool podcast, Benioff hinted at Salesforce’s ITSM ambitions, stating: “We’re building new apps, like ITSM.” At the TrailheadDX event, Salesforce teased this new product, signaling its expansion into enterprise IT management—a move that could shake up the ITSM landscape. With AI agents redefining work across industries, Salesforce’s aggressive push into automation and ITSM underscores its vision for the future of enterprise AI.

Five9 Deepens Salesforce Partnership

Five9 Deepens Salesforce Partnership to Advance AI-Powered Contact Centers Five9 is strengthening its collaboration with Salesforce to help mutual customers streamline service environments and implement AI-powered agents that enhance customer interactions. A Strategic Partnership in AI & Customer Service The announcement comes as Five9 celebrates a 17% year-over-year (YoY) revenue growth, with Chairman & CEO Mike Burkland crediting the company’s expanding partner network for driving success. While acknowledging partnerships with Microsoft, Google, ServiceNow, and Verint, Burkland highlighted Five9’s deepening relationship with Salesforce, emphasizing: “Salesforce and Five9 share a vision where AI agents and human agents work together to elevate customer experiences.” A key focus of this partnership is enhancing integration between Five9 and Agentforce, Salesforce’s platform for autonomous AI agents. This marks the first CCaaS vendor integration with Agentforce, opening up new opportunities for intelligent, industry-specific AI applications. Industry-Specific AI Agents: A Game Changer By embedding Agentforce capabilities within the Five9-Salesforce CCaaS-CRM ecosystem, businesses can automate critical customer service workflows. Some examples include: These are just a few use cases demonstrating how AI-driven automation can transform customer engagement across industries. CCaaS vs. CRM: Who Will Lead AI in Contact Centers? As AI reshapes customer service, industry analysts have questioned whether businesses will favor their CRM provider over their CCaaS vendor for AI-driven automation. Burkland dismissed this as a false choice, explaining: “It’s going to be a mix. Even if an organization chooses Salesforce for their AI, they still need access to all the contextual data in our platform. Salesforce knows they need us, and we welcome that relationship. Our goal is to do what’s best for the customer.” The Future of AI-Powered Customer Engagement By deepening its Salesforce integration and leading the way in AI-driven service automation, Five9 is positioning itself as a key player in the evolution of intelligent contact centers.

Oracle and NetSuite are now welcoming competitors as partners, signaling a move toward interoperability that could redefine their market positioning. With over 40,000 customers, NetSuite continues its strong growth in the ERP space, particularly among SMBs. The company’s Q3 sales surged 20% year-over-year, underlining its momentum in the mid-market. Beyond traditional ERP capabilities, NetSuite’s expanded suite of solutions positions it as more than just an ERP provider. Delivering on AI Innovations While there were no splashy acquisitions, NetSuite made significant strides by rolling out 170 new modules and features, many leveraging AI. These enhancements blend predictive AI and generative AI to increase accuracy and user productivity. These updates aim to elevate both the platform’s quality and the efficiency of its users. Redwood Design: A Transformative User Experience NetSuite is adopting Oracle’s Redwood design language, promising a more intuitive and user-friendly interface. While Redwood is not new, its phased rollout within NetSuite is a significant step forward. Notable Additions: SuiteProcurement and Salesforce Integration SuiteProcurement: NetSuite’s new procurement automation solution integrates directly with Amazon Business and Staples Business Advantage, automating ordering, invoicing, approvals, and deliveries. Plans are underway to expand vendor support, offering broader applicability in the future. Salesforce Partnership: NetSuite’s most significant announcement was its strategic partnership with Salesforce, enabling real-time data exchange between the platforms. Evan Goldberg, NetSuite’s founder and EVP, explained the rationale:“It’s up to the customer to decide what software they want to use.” The partnership reflects NetSuite’s commitment to addressing customer needs, with more SaaS integrations expected in the future. Expanding Field Service Management (FSM) NetSuite’s Field Service Management (FSM) capabilities, acquired last year, are now better integrated into its platform. While development progress has been slower than anticipated, significant enhancements are expected in the coming year, leveraging Oracle technology to extend FSM’s functionality across industries. And Field Service Management is available in Salesforce, as well. Positioned for Continued SMB Growth NetSuite’s investments are yielding results, as demonstrated by its rapid growth and deeper integration of Oracle technology. The NetSuite Analytics Data Warehouse and Enterprise Performance Management are driving adoption among existing users, showcasing the platform’s scalability. NetSuite’s ability to quickly integrate Oracle updates into its infrastructure gives it a competitive edge, ensuring customers benefit from the latest innovations without delays. With its robust feature set, AI-powered tools, and strategic partnerships like the one with Salesforce, NetSuite has strengthened its position as a go-to ERP platform for SMBs. Its consistent 20% year-over-year growth indicates a bright future, making it an increasingly attractive option for mid-market businesses.
