AI/R Everymind, a subsidiary of AI/R, has been named a winner of the Salesforce Partner of the Year Award in the Partner FDE Practice category. The award acknowledges the company's innovative approach of integrating engineers into client teams to take Agentforce from pilot to production safely and at scale across the enterprise. This recognition comes as Salesforce highlights the critical role partners play in driving AI adoption and business transformation.
The Partner FDE Practice category was created by Salesforce to honor partners who deploy forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) to work within client environments. AI/R Everymind has built its practice around this model, embedding its engineers alongside client teams to bridge the gap between a demonstration and a production-ready solution. According to Gustavo Rodrigues, SVP of Business Apps at AI/R, the real challenge is not building an agent but getting it into production and keeping it running. By placing engineers directly within client environments, AI/R Everymind shortens the distance between a proof of concept and a business-critical dependency.
This recognition is particularly significant as companies increasingly seek to deploy AI rapidly and fully leverage the potential of the Agentic Enterprise. Salesforce's partner ecosystem is a key catalyst for this transformation, combining industry expertise with its trusted AI, data, and CRM platform. AI/R Everymind stands out as an example of a partner delivering creative solutions to help clients overcome obstacles and move from proof of concept to adoption.
Andrew Kisslo, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Strategy and Programs at Salesforce, emphasized the importance of partners in the current innovation landscape. He noted that the pace of innovation has never been faster, and global companies are turning to the ecosystem to turn technology into real, measurable success. From deploying Agentforce to reimagining workflows in Slack and activating trusted data with Data 360, partners are at the forefront of redefining how companies operate.
The 14th annual Partner of the Year Awards celebrate partners who have made significant contributions through AI agent implementations, measurable success stories with Agentforce, and driving customer adoption that fuels real business growth. AI/R Everymind's recognition in this category highlights the elevated standard required to excel in today's AI-driven market.
With a base of 2,000 successful Salesforce implementations and a global team of over 500 Salesforce-certified professionals, AI/R Everymind is a Salesforce Summit Partner and a Top 5 Global Agentforce Partner. This award underscores the company's leadership in helping enterprises harness the full power of Agentforce, ensuring that AI deployments are not only innovative but also secure, scalable, and sustainable.
