How Do Consultants and Systems Integrators Support Agentforce?
Consultants and systems integrators help you design, implement, and scale Agentforce so AI agents are grounded in your Salesforce data, processes, and policies. They translate vision into governed, production-ready agents that your teams can trust and continuously improve.
Consultants and systems integrators support Agentforce by clarifying use cases, readying data, and wiring agents into real business workflows. They help you prioritize the right journeys, connect Agentforce to Salesforce CRM and external systems, define guardrails and escalation paths, and stand up a repeatable Center of Excellence. Done well, partners ensure agents are accurate, secure, and measurable—so you can move quickly without sacrificing customer experience or compliance.
Where Do Consultants and SIs Add the Most Value for Agentforce?
The Agentforce Partner Playbook
Use this sequence with your consulting or SI partner to move from AI experimentation to governed, value-producing agents in production.
Discover → Design → Pilot → Integrate → Scale → Govern & Optimize
- Discover and prioritize use cases: Inventory pain points across service, sales, marketing, and operations. Rank Agentforce use cases by impact, feasibility, and risk profile.
- Design journeys and guardrails: Map “happy paths” and escalations, define what the agent can and cannot do, and specify human handoff triggers and ownership.
- Pilot with a controlled audience: Launch Agentforce in a limited region, product line, or channel. Partners help you set entry/exit criteria so pilots are rigorous but fast.
- Integrate with Salesforce and beyond: Connect Agentforce to CRM objects, Data Cloud segments, case management, product catalogs, and external APIs so the agent can take action, not just answer questions.
- Scale across channels and teams: Roll out to more regions and functions, reuse patterns (prompts, tools, flows), and standardize templates so future agents are cheaper to launch.
- Govern, measure, and improve: Stand up an AI council or CoE with clear KPIs—CSAT, first-contact resolution, containment, revenue per interaction—and a regular backlog for enhancements.

Client Snapshot: From AI Idea to Governed Agentforce at Scale
Working with a consulting partner and SI, a B2B provider started with a single Agentforce use case—tier-1 support deflection—then expanded to sales and field service. By aligning data, knowledge, and integration patterns up front, they increased self-service resolution, reduced handle time for complex cases, and freed sellers to spend more time with qualified opportunities.
