AI/R Everymind, a subsidiary of AI/R, a technology company specializing in Agentic AI, has been recognized with the Salesforce Partner of the Year Award in the Partner FDE Practice category. This award acknowledges the company's success in embedding engineers into client teams to safely and at scale bring Agentforce from pilot to production across the enterprise.
With a base of 2,000 successful Salesforce implementations and a global team of over 500 Salesforce-certified professionals, AI/R Everymind holds the status of Salesforce Summit Partner and is a Top 5 Global Agentforce Partner. The award, part of the 14th annual Partner of the Year Awards, celebrates partners who have made significant contributions through AI agent deployments, measurable success cases with Agentforce, and driving customer adoption that fuels real business growth.
Gustavo Rodrigues, SVP of Business Apps at AI/R, commented, "The hard part wasn't building an agent. The hard part was getting it into production and keeping it running there. We built this practice around putting our engineers inside our clients' environments, alongside their teams, because that's what bridges the distance between a demo and something a business relies on. The fact that Salesforce created this category tells us how much the standard has been raised."
Salesforce's extensive partner ecosystem is a key catalyst for organizations looking to deploy AI quickly and leverage the full potential of the Agentic Enterprise. By combining deep industry knowledge with their trusted AI, data, and CRM platform, these partners ensure that every company can scale autonomous agents without friction to drive unprecedented business success. AI/R Everymind is a clear example of an ecosystem partner delivering creative solutions to help clients overcome their biggest obstacles and move from proof of concept to adoption.
Andrew Kisslo, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Strategy and Programs at Salesforce, noted, "Partners are at the center of everything we do at Salesforce. The pace of innovation has never been faster, and global companies are turning to our ecosystem to turn technology into real, measurable success—transformation that no company can drive alone. From Agentforce deployment to reimagining workflows in Slack and enabling trusted data with Data 360, partners are at the forefront of redefining how companies operate."
The recognition underscores the strategic importance of "forward deployed engineers"—specialists who combine deep technical knowledge with business acumen to turn complexity into sustainable impact. This approach is increasingly vital as enterprises move beyond pilot projects to full-scale AI integration. The award category itself signals a shift in the industry: the challenge is no longer just building AI agents, but ensuring they deliver value in real-world production environments.
For business and technology leaders, this news highlights the growing trend of companies embedding specialized engineers within client teams to accelerate AI adoption and ensure successful outcomes. As AI becomes more central to enterprise operations, the ability to bridge the gap between technical capability and business results will be a key differentiator. AI/R Everymind's recognition by Salesforce not only validates their methodology but also sets a benchmark for other partners in the ecosystem.
