Salesforce Reshapes Contracts Through AI Bundling
Forrester warns on April 1, 2026 that since Agentforce's 2024 launch Salesforce has shifted to an AI-first vendor, bundling AI, data and automation into multicloud deals. Customers often overspend 20%–40% on unused or bundled licenses, the firm says, and should treat renewals as structural renegotiations, use enterprise usage data, and align contracts to avoid vendor lock-in.
Scoring Rationale
Timely Forrester analysis with high scope and strong actionability for enterprise buyers. Credibility is high (Forrester), but novelty is modest since it extends known vendor-bundling trends; rated up slightly for timeliness and source authority.
