セールスフォースはAIバンドルを拡大し、Agentforce Sales、Service、Industries向けにCore、Advanced、Maxの各エディションを投入する。AI、Slack、Tableau Next、セキュリティ、サポートを一括購入にまとめたものだ。2027会計年度第2四半期には、Agentforce One EditionとAgentforce for Appsの予約が前四半期比で2倍以上に増え、Slackbotの提供開始以降、Slackのプレミアムアップグレードは3倍になった。AgentforceのARRはこの四半期に15億ドルを超え、前年同期比240%超の増加となった。AgentforceとData 360を合わせたARRは39億ドル近くに達し、210%超の伸びを示した。顧客が生成したAgentic Work Unitsは32億に上り、前四半期比97%増となった。それでもなお、AIの成長は同社全体の成長率を大きく変えるには至っていない。第2四半期の売上高は前年同期比11%増の113億5000万ドルで、経営陣は2027会計年度の売上成長率を11%から12%と見込んでいる。競合他社も同じ戦略を追っており、マイクロソフトの365 Copilotは2026会計年度第4四半期に有料シート数が3000万を超え、オラクルのクラウドアプリケーション売上高は前年同期比10%増の41億ドルに達した。クラウド全体の売上高は47%増の99億ドルに急増している。
