What once took months is now reduced to minutes. That’s not just efficiency—it’s a revolution.

How Dreamforce 2024 is Shaping the Future for Salesforce Customers

Dreamforce 2024 wasn’t just an event; it was a catalyst. It revealed how Salesforce customers could transform their operations, rethink their strategies, and prepare for the future—starting today.

AI and Automation Transforming Customer Experiences

Agentforce stole the spotlight. Salesforce customers saw their workflows reimagined with AI-driven efficiencies. User stories created in seconds. Test cases written automatically. Release notes generated with no manual input. It wasn’t just theory—it was real, live transformation. Customers left Dreamforce questioning how they’d been working and what they could achieve moving forward. The realization was undeniable: AI isn’t just a tool; it’s a competitive advantage.

Unlocking the Power of Salesforce Data Cloud

Salesforce Data Cloud is revolutionizing how businesses integrate and leverage their data. By unifying structured and unstructured data from various sources, it eliminates silos and provides a comprehensive view of customer information. This level of integration is critical for AI-driven automation, including Agentforce, ensuring accurate insights and intelligent decision-making. Copado is enabling organizations to maximize the power of Data Cloud by automating deployments, streamlining workflows, and enhancing data accessibility. Companies left Dreamforce inspired to rethink how they harness their enterprise data to drive innovation and efficiency.

Agentforce Partner Network: A New Era of Collaboration

Salesforce unveiled the Agentforce Partner Network at Dreamforce 2024—a groundbreaking ecosystem that enables AI agents to perform complex tasks across Salesforce and third-party systems. Copado is proud to be part of this pioneering initiative, joining partners like AWS, Google Cloud, IBM, and Workday to expand Agentforce's capabilities. Through this collaboration, Copado enhances automation in DevOps by providing pre-built agent templates and actions that streamline software delivery.

 

With access to trusted partner-built agents directly in Salesforce’s AppExchange, businesses can now customize and extend their automation capabilities like never before. The future of AI-powered workflows is here, and Copado is at the forefront of making it a reality.

Copado's Vision for the Future

Our strategic alliance with Accenture exemplifies this, delivering 60% faster deployments and creating smarter, more efficient teams.

Ecosystem Expansion
