\u201cAt Salesforce, we\u2019re relentlessly focused on driving trust and success for our customers,\u201d said Marc Benioff and Keith Block, co-CEOs, Salesforce. “We’re excited to expand our partnership with Microsoft and bring together the leading CRM with Azure and Teams to deliver incredible customer experiences.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In a world where every company is becoming a digital company, we want to enable every customer and partner to build experiences on our leading platforms,” said Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. “By bringing together the power of Azure and Microsoft Teams with Salesforce, our aim is to help businesses harness the power of Microsoft Cloud to better serve customers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Salesforce Marketing Cloud, marketers are empowered to know their customers, personalize marketing with Einstein, engage with them across any channel, and analyze the impact to improve campaign performance. Bringing its Marketing Cloud workload to Azure, Salesforce joins the over 95 percent of Fortune 500 companies benefitting from an Azure infrastructure offering the most global regions of any cloud provider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through this partnership, Salesforce will move its Marketing Cloud to Azure \u2014 unlocking new growth opportunities for customers. By moving to Azure, Salesforce will be able to optimize Marketing Cloud’s performance as customer demand scales. This will reduce customer onboarding times, enable customers to expand globally more quickly with Azure’s global footprint and help address local data security, privacy and compliance requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As teamwork becomes a driving force in the workplace, people want to bring workflows and frequently used apps into their collaboration workspace environments. Sales and customer service are highly collaborative, team-centric functions, and many companies actively use both Salesforce’s CRM and Microsoft Teams. As part of this agreement, Salesforce will build a new integration that give sales and service users the ability to search, view and share Salesforce records directly within Teams. The new Teams integration for Salesforce Sales and Service Clouds will be made available in late 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These new integrations will build on existing solutions that enable mutual customers to be more productive, including the hundreds of thousands of monthly active users using Salesforce\u2019s Microsoft Outlook integration to create, communicate and collaborate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
