At the same time, McCabe himself and the core members of the team will continue to stay, maintaining the original product development path to ensure the continuity and professionalism of the service.According to the plans announced by both sides, this transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of Salesforce’s fiscal year 2027. With the increasing popularity of large models in enterprise service scenarios, Salesforce’s capital-driven reinforcement of the intelligent agent camp undoubtedly adds more room for imagination to the future customer experience management market.
