These deals reinforce Salesforce’s commitment to
enhancing enterprise data management and security,
and AI-driven insights.
Lawyers in our Silicon Valley office led the transaction,
with support from our Brussels, London, Los Angeles,
Munich, New York, Paris, San Francisco, and
Washington, D.C. offices and our antitrust, banking,
