Announcing the 2027 Salesforce Partner of the Year Award Winners

The Salesforce Partner of the Year Awards recognizes the partners who are transforming how our customers work, decide, and grow. The 2027 Partner of the Year Awards represent a completely redesigned recognition program celebrating partner achievements in customer impact, technical innovation, and delivery excellence over the past 12 months.

Winning submissions require two critical elements: Unique Technical Innovation showcasing creative solutions that stretch platform capabilities, and Compelling, High-Impact Storytelling featuring clear before-and-after narratives with measurable customer outcomes and authentic customer voices. 43 winners were selected across 14 categories from 18 countries. Partners were evaluated using a mix of quantitative results and qualitative judgment by an international panel of Salesforce leaders. Emphasis was placed on customer success, innovation, adoption, and measurable business value.

“I read hundreds of submissions, and what jumped out at me was the diversity of these cases our partners are implementing with customers — core Sales and Service, Agentforce agents & Voice, Data360 and Data Foundations, but also HR, legal, and great implementations built on our latest acquisitions. The strength of our ecosystem model is the strength of our portfolio. These awards really speak to the importance of our ecosystem in delivering and innovating with our technology.” – Alexa Vignone, Chief Revenue Officer

Why the Ecosystem Matters More Than Ever

Here’s the challenge every CIO is wrestling with: connectivity across data without intelligence won’t cut it. In order for an Agentic Enterprise to thrive, customers need to determine their business rules, permissions, approval chains, or who’s accountable when something goes wrong. That’s where the Salesforce Ecosystem comes in–it puts trusted customer intelligence to work, grounded in your business, running the right model for the right task, and never letting your data leave your control.

The future of Salesforce expertise is ecosystem expertise. Work today doesn’t live in one app. It moves across Slack, Claude, WhatsApp, mobile, and more. Increasingly, it moves through AI agents that discover, invoke, and coordinate capabilities across all of it. This year’s awards recognize the partners building for this experience.

From Data, to Skills, to Outcomes

The thread connecting nearly every winning story this year is how partners are turning raw connectivity into compounding value in key ways.

First, context. Through the Zero Copy Network partners are enhancing what Salesforce already knows about a customer without duplicating a single record. That’s the foundation: your data, your business actions, available everywhere they’re needed, without the integration tax.

Second, action. Through Agentforce, MuleSoft, and Customer 360, technology and ISV partners package their industry and domain expertise into reusable ISV Skills, MCP-exposed capabilities, and API-driven workflows. This is the work layer of the ecosystem, where partner expertise gets encoded into something an agent can actually pick up and use, again and again, without being rebuilt from scratch for every customer. 

Third, agency and engagement. Salesforce Partners don’t stop at deployment–they prove the difference between deployment and adoption. An agent that’s turned on isn’t the same as an agent that changes how a business runs. 

Salesforce provides a trusted foundation of customer data, business rules, security, and AI. Partners extend it with industry expertise, reusable capabilities, and the implementation experience required to deliver results in the real world.
