Microsoft launches AI tool to convert Salesforce and ERP systems to Dynamics 365

Microsoft has launched Dynamics 365 Activate, an AI-powered tool designed to help businesses migrate from Salesforce and other CRM and ERP systems to its Dynamics 365 platform. Currently available as a public preview for Salesforce conversions, the tool analyses existing implementations, identifies data relationships and dependencies, and creates migration blueprints. The software aims to reduce manual effort and migration risks whilst helping Microsoft's partners assess customer environments more quickly. Additional CRM and ERP migration scenarios will launch later this year. The timing is notable as Salesforce faces challenges with its own AI platform, Agentforce, which has reportedly struggled to gain user enthusiasm. Microsoft's Productivity and Business Processes unit, which includes Dynamics, generated $140 billion in revenue in FY 26, up 15 per cent year-over-year.

Salesforce steadies after GPT-6 Astra wiped 4% off stock price

Salesforce shares fell approximately 4% on Tuesday after the launch of GPT-6 Astra sparked concerns that general-purpose AI could replace specialised software functions. The stock recovered on Wednesday, trading nearly flat at $248.84. The company reported quarterly revenue of $11.3 billion and current remaining performance obligations of $33.5 billion. Agentforce annual recurring revenue exceeded $1.5 billion, more than tripling year over year, though it represents only 3.2% of Salesforce's $46.25 billion full-year revenue guidance midpoint. Contracted obligations equal roughly 72% of annual guidance, providing near-term stability. However, analysts warn contracts cannot permanently protect seat growth or pricing if independent AI agents become viable substitutes. Salesforce currently trades 26.97% below its estimated fair value of $340.76.
