Patrick Minder, Head of Platform & Applications at Swisscom Business Customers
Swisscom is one of the leading ICT companies in Switzerland, and Salesforce, the #1 AI Customer Relationship Management platform. I am very happy to join forces in the Swiss market with such a significant player. By combining Swisscom's CX expertise with Salesforce's leading-edge technologies, we aim to improve customer engagement and deliver innovative solutions.
The partnership will result in joint initiatives in CRM including artificial intelligence, sales automation, customer service, e-commerce, and digital marketing, enhancing the digital landscape for businesses of all sizes in Switzerland. Under the terms of the agreement, Swisscom will act as Salesforce's consulting and integration partner for all industries. The delivery of Salesforce activities will be overseen by OWT, a Swisscom subsidiary and leading brand for digitalization expertise.
Swisscom will be integrating all the solutions that are part of the Salesforce platform ecosystem like Data Cloud, Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and others, training users, servicing the platform and identifying new prospects. Einstein 1, for example brings #1 CRM apps together with safe and secure AI and data on one integrated platform so companies can grow relationships, productivity, and their bottom line - no matter what size of the company. The services mentioned above are an addition to the existing Swisscom portfolio.
Swisscom's mission is to support companies on their digital journey, offering a comprehensive portfolio of integrated communications and IT solutions for large customers and SMEs in collaboration with their subsidiaries, like for example OWT. The strong market presence of Swisscom's network in Switzerland with the agility to seize local and global project opportunities, ensures that the value we deliver to our customers not only justifies their initial investment but also continues to grow over the long term. From day one, we accompany business as a versatile multi-cloud partner with pioneering approaches to data-first and AI and leveraging Salesforce's ambition to excel in industry-specific solutions. In collaboration with Salesforce we will unlock potential for Swiss businesses, improve customer engagement and deliver innovative solutions. We are looking forward to it.
