ISG to Study Salesforce Ecosystem Partners
Upcoming ISG Provider Lens® report will evaluate providers enabling innovation, value realization and AI-driven transformation with evolving Salesforce technologies
The study results will be published in a series of comprehensive ISG Provider Lens® reports, called Salesforce Ecosystem Partners, scheduled to be released in April 2026. The reports will cover providers offering services for end-to-end transformation, Agentforce 360 innovation, value realization and other objectives of companies using Salesforce, including midsize enterprises.
Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the reports to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.
The Salesforce ecosystem continues to evolve rapidly, fueled by advancements in AI, data integration and automation. With its vision of the Agentic Enterprise and the launch of Agentforce 360, Salesforce is connecting sales, service, marketing, commerce, Tableau, MuleSoft and Slack into one unified platform. These innovations are enabling businesses to combine human expertise with AI-driven intelligence, making faster and smarter decisions while delivering better customer experiences. Enterprises are increasingly turning to partners that can responsibly orchestrate these capabilities, embedding AI within governance frameworks for secure and scalable innovation.
“While large enterprises lead in Salesforce adoption, midmarket enterprises are also emerging as a key growth area,” said Aman Munglani, senior director and principal analyst at ISG. “These firms are focused on the Salesforce platform for scalable frameworks and tailored managed services.”
ISG has distributed surveys to approximately 200 Salesforce ecosystem providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants representing the Salesforce offerings the typical enterprise is buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The four quadrants are:
- Professional Services, evaluating providers that transform and optimize complex business landscapes with Salesforce. They deliver end-to-end solutions that go beyond configuration to include advisory, implementation, integration and AI-infused automation.
- Value Realization and Optimization Services, assessing providers that enable clients to maximize long-term value from Salesforce investments. They are evaluated on their ability to drive continuous platform evolution, security governance and operational efficiency.
- Innovation on Salesforce/Agentforce, covering providers that design, build and govern custom solutions on Agentforce 360. These providers should demonstrate they can orchestrate Agentforce 360 Apps and extend them to a broader estate.
- Midscale Salesforce Partners, evaluating medium-sized Salesforce ecosystem partners that offer end-to-end support across the client lifecycle, from initial implementation to long-term value realization, primarily for midsize clients. These providers must demonstrate proven expertise through verifiable capabilities and certifications in modern Salesforce platforms.
Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global Salesforce ecosystem partners market and examine products and services available in the
