Agentforce isn’t just “another Salesforce feature.”
For System Integrators, it changes the business model.
In this episode, two senior practitioners debate one uncomfortable idea: Agentforce commoditizes what large SIs monetize today—and the ecosystem will fight adoption through “risk narratives.”
We break it down in plain terms:
What gets hit first: the repeatable delivery work you’ve billed for years—build/config cycles, testing waves, and a big chunk of Tier 1–2 AMS work
Why margins compress: fewer hours, fewer tickets, less utilization—so the classic pyramid delivery model starts to crack
What to stop selling (be honest): “more bodies” for predictable work that the platform can increasingly do itself
What to start selling (where you can still win): control and accountability—governance, trust boundaries, agent evaluation, drift monitoring, and operating rules that keep agents safe in production
How the pushback shows up: security fear, compliance fear, reliability fear—often framed as “responsible governance,” but functionally slowing adoption
If you’re leading a Salesforce practice, this episode is about one thing: how to redesign what you sell and how you deliver before clients force the change on you.
