About The Team:

Did you know that over $700 billion is spent each year on integrating systems? Much of that is spent building brittle, single-use, point-to-point connections between systems that become a tangled, insecure, unchangeable mess. Yet the application landscape in most companies is only getting more complex with increasing adoption of best-of-breed SaaS line-of-business solutions and productivity demands requiring specialized software suited to accelerating every task and function.

MuleSoft, a Salesforce company, is delivering the solution to this enormous market, enabling agility, reuse and composability on a global scale through API-led connectivity, both on-premises and in the cloud. Our platform is used by organizations in over 60 countries, from emerging companies to Global 500 enterprises and our growth continues to accelerate.

As part of Salesforce, we have an opportunity to offer our customers a fully integrated solution for their integration and automation needs based on business processes and jobs to be done, rather than siloed to one system or another. Gartner calls this hyperautomation, the orchestrated use of multiple technologies, tools or platforms to automate your enterprise. With Slack, we have an enormous opportunity to bring the power of this platform to every end user in the business and meet every stakeholder in this digital transformation where they spend the majority of their time, allowing end users to create their own automations with every system in the enterprise and collaborate seamlessly with every stakeholder.

MuleSoft is also poised to play an important role in enabling Agentforce to take action across the enterprise. Key innovations include: Salesforce API Catalog, MuleSoft Topic Center, OOTB actions for 80+ MuleSoft for Flow connectors, Integration Agents, and more!
