AI/R Everymind, a subsidiary of AI/R, a technology company specializing in Agentic AI, has been awarded the Salesforce Partner of the Year Award in the Partner FDE Practice category. The award recognizes the company's innovative approach of integrating engineers directly into client teams to safely and at scale bring Agentforce from pilot to production across the enterprise. With over 2,000 successful Salesforce implementations and a global team of more than 500 Salesforce-certified professionals, AI/R Everymind is a Salesforce Summit Partner and a Top 5 Global Agentforce Partner.
This recognition underscores a critical shift in the AI deployment landscape: the challenge is no longer building an agent, but rather deploying it effectively and maintaining its operation in a production environment. Gustavo Rodrigues, SVP of Business Apps at AI/R, emphasized that their practice is built around placing engineers within client environments, alongside their teams, because that is what bridges the gap between a demonstration and a solution that a business depends on. The fact that Salesforce created this specific award category signals how much the standard for AI implementation has been elevated.
The broader Salesforce partner ecosystem is a key catalyst for organizations seeking to deploy AI rapidly and harness the full potential of the Agentic Enterprise. By combining deep industry knowledge with Salesforce's trusted AI, data, and CRM platform, partners ensure that companies can scale autonomous agents without friction to drive unprecedented business success. AI/R Everymind is a clear example of a partner delivering creative solutions that help clients overcome major obstacles and transition from proof of concept to adoption.
Andrew Kisslo, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Strategy and Programs at Salesforce, highlighted the central role of partners in Salesforce's mission. He noted that the pace of innovation has never been faster, and global companies are turning to the ecosystem to convert technology into real, measurable success. The impact is tangible: from deploying Agentforce to reimagining workflows in Slack and enabling trusted data with Data 360, partners are at the forefront of redefining how companies operate.
The 14th annual Partner of the Year Awards celebrate significant contributions from Salesforce partners in AI agent implementations, measurable customer success with Agentforce, and driving customer adoption that fuels real business growth. Kisslo expressed enthusiasm in announcing the 2027 winners, which include partners like AI/R Everymind who perform this work exceptionally well.
This award carries broader implications for the enterprise AI market. It validates the model of embedding specialized engineers into client teams as a best practice for complex AI deployments. As companies move beyond pilot projects, the need for partners with deep technical expertise and the ability to work alongside internal teams becomes paramount. AI/R Everymind's recognition signals a growing trend: successful AI adoption requires not just technology, but a collaborative approach that ensures solutions are integrated seamlessly into business processes.
For companies evaluating AI partners, this award highlights the importance of choosing partners with proven experience in scaling AI from concept to production. The full list of this year's winners can be found on Salesforce's website. Salesforce and other marks are trademarks of Salesforce, Inc.
