If your company's "revenue" is really account teams moving money around in enterprise license agreements due to incentivization goal posts set up by management in-house, then the entire organization is part and parcel to a much larger problem whose way has been paved by dishonest bookkeeping practices - likely in the stark absence of federal or even state regulation.
Looks like tech behemoths Salesforce and Agentforce can't find palpable KPI/ROI value or ANY meaningful revenue boost at scale in one of the largest whole-hog AI-adoption platforms on the planet. We've got more than a problem, Houston; we've got snake oil passing for water with financial engineering at the helm.
Even more glaring and significant is that these tech giants' customer base are ALL clamoring for mega-shareholder meetings to understand embedded AI offerings and how NOT to spend a dime on it, using only the free functionality. How's that going? Super well, I assume?
The 2026 chorus mantra of giving thousands of untrained "tech sector" seats access to the set-money-on-fire machine didn't result in positive benefit, apparently. Even those companies claiming a stellar job in getting customers to try their polished array of new AI-focused offerings have barely concealed downstream metrics showing that use-case happens exactly once, and then the human runs away in confusion.
On-premise AI solutions don't set the entire annual budget on fire for the sake of FOMO. Explore your options - don't get hemmed in by the datacenter proselytizing, and definitely don't buy into long-term service contracts.
