Salesforce's Agentforce adoption has stalled at 34% despite 2024 launch hype, with analysts citing poor data quality and immature product as blockers; the company has lost $200bn in market value as Wall Street questions whether agentic AI can drive growth.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're selling data integration, governance or cleanup tools to enterprises, Salesforce just proved your market exists at scale - and that you're the blocker between them and their AI strategy. CIOs now know autonomous agents won't work without you; that's a six-month sales cycle that didn't exist six months ago.
