Deloitte Pioneers Salesforce-Backed Forward Deployed Engineering Model

Deloitte has become the first Global System Integrator (GSI) to deliver a Salesforce Forward Deployed Engineering engagement, marking a milestone in its commitment to forward deployed engineering as a core delivery model for enterprise AI.

This collaboration between Deloitte and Salesforce combines exclusive platform insights with leading industry knowledge and AI engineering depth. As a founding member of Salesforce's FDE Partner Network, Deloitte is embedding forward deployed engineers directly within solution delivery teams to bring Agentforce solutions to life.

'We are helping guide Deloitte clients through the next era of AI-powered delivery by deploying Agentforce,' said Harry Datwani, Deloitte Global chief commercial officer, Salesforce Alliance. 'This forward deployed engineering model enables teams to collaborate more deeply, helping clients move from pilots to full-scale transformation more seamlessly.'

One example of Deloitte's leadership in this space is its work guiding a large solutions integrator to become a more agentic organization through the implementation of lead automation capability with Salesforce.
