AI/R Everymind, a subsidiary of AI/R, a technology company specializing in Agentic AI, has been named a winner in the Salesforce Partner of the Year Awards 2027. The company received the award in the Partner FDE Practice category, which recognizes partners that integrate engineers into client teams to bring Agentforce from pilot to production safely and at scale across the enterprise. This accolade underscores the growing importance of specialized expertise in deploying AI solutions that deliver real business outcomes.
The recognition comes as Salesforce highlights the pivotal role of its partner ecosystem in helping organizations harness the power of artificial intelligence. According to the announcement, AI/R Everymind has a track record of over 2,000 successful Salesforce implementations and a global team of more than 500 Salesforce-certified professionals. It is a Salesforce Summit Partner and a Top 5 Global Agentforce Partner. This depth of experience positions the company as a leader in guiding enterprises through the complexities of AI adoption.
“The hard part wasn’t building an agent. The hard part was getting it into production and keeping it running there,” said Gustavo Rodrigues, SVP of Business Apps at AI/R. “We built this practice around putting our engineers inside our clients’ environments, alongside their teams, because that’s what bridges the gap between a demo and something a business relies on. The fact that Salesforce created this category tells us how much the standard has been raised.” This statement reflects a growing industry trend: moving beyond proof-of-concept to fully integrated, reliable AI systems that businesses can depend on daily.
The Salesforce Partner of the Year Awards, now in its 14th year, celebrates partners that have made significant contributions through AI agent implementations, measurable success stories with Agentforce, and driving customer adoption that fuels real business growth. Andrew Kisslo, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Strategy and Programs at Salesforce, emphasized the importance of partners in this era of rapid innovation. “Partners are at the center of everything we do at Salesforce. The pace of innovation has never been faster, and global companies are turning to our ecosystem to turn technology into real, measurable success. From deploying Agentforce to reimagining workflows in Slack and enabling trusted data with Data 360, partners are at the forefront of redefining how companies operate.”
The award category itself signals a shift in the industry: the challenge of scaling AI across an enterprise is now recognized as a distinct discipline. By embedding forward-deployed engineers with clients, AI/R Everymind demonstrates a hands-on approach that shortens the distance between a promising demo and a production system that drives tangible results. This practice directly addresses a common pain point for organizations—the difficulty of moving AI pilots into full-scale operation.
For businesses evaluating AI adoption, this news highlights the importance of choosing partners with proven expertise and a collaborative model. As Salesforce notes, partners like AI/R Everymind are enabling companies to overcome obstacles and transition from proof of concept to adoption.
