Hi and welcome to episode 245 of The ERP Minute. I’m your host, Rebekah McCabe.
First, Salesforce announced plans to invest $1 billion in Switzerland over the next five years to accelerate the country's agentic AI transformation. The investment builds on Salesforce’s longstanding commitment to Switzerland, one of Europe’s most important centers of technology, finance, and innovation, by supporting its local workforce, its growing base of customers and partners, and Switzerland’s workplace and AI skills development. The global expansion of AI is essential to ongoing adoption and growth. With the investment in Switzerland, Salesforce can bolster the innovation taking place in the region to accelerate the agentic AI revolution.
To round out the week, Qlik announced the general availability of new agentic data engineering capabilities across Qlik Cloud, moving the capabilities introduced at Qlik Connect 2026 into production for customers. The release helps data teams use purpose-built AI agents and declarative workflows to find trusted data, define business meaning, evaluate quality, shape data products, and create pipelines through the tools they already use, so governed data can move faster into analytics, automation, and AI workflows. Updates include agents to help users retrieve trust scores and data quality metrics, capabilities to create, manage, and govern data products, a Catalog Glossary, declarative pipelines with coding, and expanded MCP-enabled data tools. As a result, Qlik customers will be able to more effectively harness the power of their data alongside agentic AI advancements.
