Alliances Will Extend Beyond Core Offerings as AI-driven Sales and Marketing Reshape Ecosystems
/by Bozhidar Hristov, Principal AnalystIT services companies have their limits, and clients have preferred technology vendors, leading IT services companies to look to alliances to drive new growth. We have seen this pattern before, but in 2026 we will see IT services companies extend those alliances into devices, connectivity and even silicon, requiring a multiparty alliance approach that will strain commercial models, sales strategies and alliance leaders across the ecosystem.
KPMG-Salesforce Partnership: Evolving from Implementation to Agentic Outcome
/by Bozhidar Hristov, Principal AnalystKPMG’s alliance with Salesforce has moved from a high-growth implementation practice into a relationship increasingly defined by enterprise trust, measurable outcomes and the ability to operationalize agentic AI. Since entering Salesforce’s ecosystem in late 2019, KPMG has scaled the alliance to over 1,300 practitioners across more than 30 countries and is now repositioning the relationship around Agentforce-led transformation, AI-ready data foundations, and run/optimize operating models that sustain adoption. This shift mirrors a broader ecosystem trend: Leading platforms are prioritizing depth with a smaller set of preferred partners and evaluating alliances on their ability to drive usage, value realization and governance — not simply project throughput.
