The UK has long been a pioneer in driving global AI innovation and home to a thriving pool of talent. I’m thrilled that Salesforce is contributing to this legacy with a $6 billion investment in our UK business through 2030 to make Salesforce UK an AI innovation hub for Europe. This investment bolsters Salesforce’s ongoing commitment to the UK, extending a previous five-year investment of $4 billion made in 2023 and the selection of London for our very first AI Center globally. Our commitment will expand our capabilities in responsible AI product innovation and support European organisations in becoming agentic enterprises, with humans and AI agents working together to drive success. Salesforce’s commitment includes investing in UK companies that are building the future of AI. Salesforce Ventures has invested over $200 million in UK companies. Salesforce is also committed to ensuring the UK workforce is equipped with the skills needed to benefit from the AI transformation. We advocate for a national digital skills platform to boost skills training, and joined the UK government’s national skills drive to increase opportunities and access to AI training across the country.

Today, SAP announced its sovereign cloud offering with OpenAI and another one with AWS. The perfect solution for when Germany based companies want to serve German customers. If you want to serve an MNC with customers across multiple regions - you have a choice - run one app per region or simply use Skyflow in every region and keep one global instance of SAP or OpenAI. Here’s how we do it for MNC customers of ServiceNow. https://lnkd.in/gvgexTVX

Why transform? Because standing still isn’t an option. How to transform? With the right tools, mindset and people.   At the Digital Lounge @Lakeside, we will explore how SAP and partners like Data Migration International (DMI) are helping customers rethink transformation, not as a technical task, but as a strategic opportunity. #AI plays a key role. It helps simplify the move, but more importantly, it enables new ways to run business processes with speed and intelligence. This is where technology becomes an enabler for real business innovation.   With a #cleancore approach and an integrated toolchain, we support companies in making the shift to cloud smoother and more meaningful. It’s not just about migrating systems. It’s about freeing up people to focus on what matters most: Driving outcomes and shaping the future of their business.   Lakeside will be the place to show how transformation truly happens. When technology, people and purpose align. #DigitalLounge2025 #BusinessTransformation

Salesforce has just unveiled #Agentforce for Public Sector, an agentic AI platform designed to automate repetitive tasks within government. Here’s what this means for public sector innovation: - A #DigitalWorkforce Built for Government: For the first time, agencies can deploy autonomous AI agents that handle tasks like citizen requests, license renewals, and data intake, compliant with #FedRAMP High, Protected-B, and IRAP standards. - Purpose-Built Intelligence: Powered by the Atlas Reasoning Engine, these agents are pro at retrieving live data and drawing insights in real time, helping #governmentteams respond faster and more intelligently. - Operational Efficiency Meets Trust: This isn’t just about #automation, it’s about augmenting human capability, so civil servants can spend more time on high-impact work, while digital agents tackle routine tasks. A few thoughts on what should public sector leaders consider next: - Where are your highest-volume, yet predictable touchpoints where AI agents could enhance responsiveness? - How can proactive, #compliantAI pave the path for responsible scale? - Which mission-critical functions stand to benefit most from continuous data-driven service? Agentforce for Public Sector represents a deliberate pivot toward AI-powered governance, delivering smarter operations while advancing citizen trust and service. Let’s discuss how we can thoughtfully integrate these intelligent agents into public sector programs, shaping what government service looks like in the years ahead. https://lnkd.in/eqhtSi6J

Transformation doesn’t happen by chance. It takes a framework to help guide it. This inside look at Microsoft Digital — our internal IT organization — shows how we’re reshaping operations and boosting productivity by pairing AI with continuous improvement. The impact comes not from technology alone, but from the foundation built around it: ▪️ Continuous improvement provides the structure for change. ▪️ Leaders set direction and sponsorship. ▪️ Employees are engaged in redesigning their work. ▪️ Processes are improved before technology is applied. What strikes me is how essential that framework is. Without it, AI risks becoming another tool in search of a problem. With it, AI becomes an accelerator — turning innovation into lasting transformation. It’s a playbook any organization can adapt.

What an exceptional quarter for ServiceNow. Once again, we've surpassed expectations, beating and raising our guidance across all key metrics. 🎯 Q2'25 total revenue was $3,215M 🎯 22.5% YOY subscription revenue growth 🎯 29.5% non-GAAP operating margin and FCF margin of 16.5% 🎯 30% YoY growth of customers with $20M ACV 🎯 Now Assist on track to hit $1 billion ACV by 2026 These results underscore how leading enterprises are implementing AI not as a novelty, but as a fundamental driver of business transformation - with remarkable outcomes. We're seeing powerful trends accelerating AI adoption across industries. Most noticeably, the market is shifting decisively toward comprehensive agentic operating systems. The era of fragmented point solutions is giving way to intelligent platforms capable of autonomous action. ServiceNow stands at the forefront of this shift through our integrated AI, data, and workflow capabilities. Global leaders are demonstrating what's possible. Starbucks, a multi-year ServiceNow customer, is using our AI to enhance its technology ecosystem and elevate both customer and partner experiences. They're currently rolling out ServiceNow in select support centers to optimize call triage and drive greater satisfaction at every touchpoint. NVIDIA is redefining employee support with ServiceNow AI agents that proactively resolve issues, deliver personalized help, and provide answers in seconds. And Intuit is expanding its longtime relationship with ServiceNow to create frictionless "done-for-you" agentic AI experiences for its employees. This quarter's performance demonstrates that when you combine visionary technology with exceptional execution, you create lasting value for customers. I couldn't be prouder of our team's work or more excited about what's ahead as we continue redefining how work gets done. None of this would be possible without our incredible customers who trust us to transform their businesses, our partners who bring our vision to life, and every ServiceNow employee who turns innovation into reality every day. Together, we're shaping the future of work.
