Salesforce to buy defence tech firm Rune to expand military business

Salesforce said on Thursday it will buy defence technology company Rune Technologies to expand Missionforce, its business serving the US military and government agencies. Financial terms were not disclosed. Rune makes AI-powered software that helps troops forecast supply needs, plan the use of resources, and decide where to send them, including in places with little or no network connection. The US Army and US Marine Corps already use its technology. Salesforce said Missionforce is growing 80% year-over-year, a year after launch, with customers in all six branches of the US military. The company has been adding AI offerings through acquisitions. Last week it agreed to buy Braze for about $5.66 billion. The Rune deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Salesforce's fiscal year 2027.

Salesforce launches Hunter AI sales agent, deepens Demandbase and Docusign ties

Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) has launched Hunter, an outbound AI sales agent, and deepened its integration with Demandbase to bring real-time B2B data into its platform. The Demandbase tie-up feeds buying group and engagement signals into Salesforce workflows for prospecting and account prioritisation. Docusign also expanded its partnership to embed agreement management into Salesforce, Agentforce, and Slack AI-driven processes. The moves support Salesforce's push to earn revenue from AI agents and workflow tools, not just CRM seats. Hunter is still in a pilot that ends later in 2026. Adoption data after that will show how many customers use it and whether they accept the pricing.

New deals 40% focus on AI agents; Salesforce Taiwan anniversary team expands fivefold

New deals 40% focus on AI agents; Salesforce Taiwan anniversary team expands fivefold 2026.10.21 19:51 China Times real-time, Liu Minggeng Customer relationship management (CRM) software leader Salesforce's Taiwan office is about to mark its first anniversary. Taiwan general manager Hsu Chia-sheng said on the 21st that, driven by the AI wave, Taiwan's first-year revenue and customer count both achieved double-digit growth, and the team size has expanded to five times its initial size at establishment; among newly signed cases, as many as 40% have adopted an autonomous AI agent platform and real-time data engine, demonstrating the strong momentum of Taiwanese enterprises shifting from exploring AI to actual business applications. Salesforce set up its Taiwan office in October 2025, and Hsu Chia-sheng took over as Taiwan general manager in January this year. Hsu said that over the past year the team has expanded across sales, technology, and customer service, with headcount growing to five times the initial level, and it has already submitted next year's expansion blueprint to headquarters. He said plainly that headquarters is highly optimistic about Taiwan's growth potential and even believes double-digit growth 'could be more aggressive', sending a positive signal of continued increased investment in Taiwan. Hsu pointed out that enterprise software is not a hardware component that can 'ship today if available, ship tomorrow'; the key lies in conducting proof of concept (POC) using the customer's own scenarios. At present, Agentforce and Data 360 account for 40% of adoptions in newly signed cases. In manufacturing, Advantech is a flagship customer, with AI agents assisting with quotations and dispatching; in finance, the focus is on Taiwanese enterprises expanding into Southeast Asia, using AI agents to quickly connect lending, credit, and risk warnings. In response to concerns about whether AI will replace enterprise software, the technical team emphasized that large language models have only single-turn memory; enterprises' daily-changing orders and permissions still require core system governance, and after switching to AI tools, system usage has instead surged. Salesforce is also working with NVIDIA to build a CRM reasoning model, 'Koa', whose error rate is only one-third that of mainstream models; it is expected to officially launch in the U.S. in winter 2026. Entering its second year in Taiwan, Salesforce has set its direction as advancing AI applications from single-point experiments to scaled deployment, continuing to deepen its presence in manufacturing and finance, and following Taiwanese businesses into Southeast Asia, striving for continued double-digit business growth.

DataGroomr launches AI agent to manage Salesforce data quality through conversation

DataGroomr has launched an AI agent that lets Salesforce teams manage customer data quality through plain conversation. The Philadelphia company announced the tool on October 20, 2026, and it is available on Salesforce AgentExchange. Users can ask the agent to diagnose problems such as duplicate rates, set up matching models and rules, and merge duplicate records after confirming. They can also schedule cleansing tasks and query Salesforce data. The agent understands where a user is working in the platform. It offers type-ahead suggestions, searchable chat history, and voice interaction. "Users can tell us what they want to understand or accomplish and work with the platform conversationally," said chief executive officer Steve Pogrebivsky.
