The newly rebranded SalesforceIQ wants to understand your inbox and calendar better than you do.
Among the many announcements at this year’s Dreamforce conference, a well-attended corporate confab in San Francisco for Salesforce users, one in particular stood out: a startup that Salesforce spent nearly $400 million acquiring was being fully integrated into the corporate mothership. RelateIQ, a data-driven company that was once seen as a future competitor to Salesforce, announced that their tech is being used to fuel two new Salesforce products. RelateIQ’s algorithms and interface, which functions roughly like a Google Now or Cortana, are now being used to create two new software programs for small businesses and Salesforce’s large corporate users.
