Partners are at the heart of everything we do at Salesforce. The pace of innovation has never been faster, and global enterprises are turning to our ecosystem to turn technology into real measurable success, seeking transformation that no single company can drive alone.
That’s what makes our partners irreplaceable. They bring creativity, deep industry knowledge, and local presence that allows our technology to meet customers exactly where they are. In a world where every business is unique, our partner network is how we scale what’s possible.
And the impact is real. From deploying Agentforce to reimagining workflows in Slack to unlocking trusted data with Data 360, partners are at the forefront of redefining how companies operate.
Today we’re excited to announce the new 2027 Salesforce Partner of the Year Awards, a program that celebrates the partners doing this work exceptionally well. More than recognition, it’s a benchmark for what excellence looks like in the agentic era.

What’s New This Year?
We’ve completely refreshed our awards framework this year. The focus is on partners delivering groundbreaking work with clear, measurable results for our customers. These awards celebrate excellence across the full lifecycle, because impact comes in many forms and from many kinds of partners.
Whether you represent a global enterprise or a fast-growing specialist, it’s your execution that drives real market leadership. This is a celebration for the entire community.
This year, we’re honoring excellence across 14 focused categories. That’s more than ever before. These awards are aligned with our strategic FY27 priorities:
- Product Innovation: Mastery of our system of engagement (Slack), system of agency (Agentforce), system of insight (Tableau), system of work (Customer 360), system of context (Data 360), and Headless 360.
- Customer Success: Excellence in agentic value, customer value, and our top Partner Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) practice.
- Growth: Scaling transformation through customer growth and our new GTM app on the AgentExchange.
- Technology Partners: Top strategic technology partners driving the Agentic Enterprise
- Top Partners: Recognizing top global partners, rising stars, and Pledge 1% commitments.
Winning a 2027 Salesforce Partner of the Year Award is more than recognition. It’s a signal to the market that you’re setting the standard. This year, winners receive more than ever before, including:
