Salesforce Announces Tableau Einstein Alliance to Help Partners Drive Success in the Agent Era

Salesforce today introduced the Tableau Einstein Alliance, a new partner community to create and deliver AI solutions and analytical agents for Tableau Einstein, which is built on the Salesforce platform and integrated with Agentforce.  

The Tableau Einstein Alliance offers partners exclusive benefits tied to Salesforce’s data and AI innovations, such as access to product roadmap information and in-house experts; marketing activations and promotions; and co-selling opportunities. Member partners will also be able to tap the Alliance to help produce the AI agents, apps, solutions, and AI innovations that customers need to navigate the autonomous AI revolution and quickly realize value from their data and AI investments.

The Alliance is slated to launch in February 2025 with 25 initial members, including Atrium, Capgemini, Deloitte, IBM, and Slalom. Solutions emerging from the Alliance are expected to be generally available on the Salesforce AppExchange and the upcoming Tableau Marketplace, which allows developers to create, share, and monetize apps and analytical assets. 

Why it matters: Partner ecosystems have been integral to advancing every technological innovation, from software to mobile computing, cloud computing, and software-as-a-service. Now, with the release of Agentforce, building a vibrant community to help advance the technology is more important than ever.
