How this shortlist was made: partners were assessed on category-specific evidence, based on public sources, mainly provider sources. A service page establishes a capability claim, not independently verified delivery quality. Team quality and comparable client references still need checking before selection. Reviewed 23 October 2026. The order is not a ranking. See How We Choose.
How to choose
- Ask for a reference with the same scope, and the same platform version where it applies.
- Confirm who will deliver the work and where they are based.
- Agree what is in scope: setup, integration, training and ongoing support.
- Check the partner's current Salesforce partner profile and any Salesforce recognition, then read the evidence link on its card.
