Salesforce is set to boost its Agentforce AI bots with a new acquisition — Zoomin — the company’s third acquisition in a month. Managing editor Constantine von Hoffman details how the deal fits in with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff’s vision for Data Cloud.

And, as we catch our collective breath from two inspiring days of The MarTech Conference, we look at how so many marketers across the industry are negotiating two massive forces in technology — features and cost. Today, editorial director Mike Pastore dives into the 2024 MarTech Replacement Survey to find out what key factors drive marketers to retool their stacks.

Marketers among the devoted users of Canva are confronted with these same hard decisions after the digital design platform recently jacked up its prices on small teams.
