Salesforce is increasing concerns about national security.
The customer relationship management giant announced on Tuesday that it created a new business unit called MissionForce. According to a company press release, it will focus on incorporating AI into defense workflows in three main areas: personnel, logistics, and decision-making.
Missionforce will be controlled by Kendall Collins, who joined Salesforce in 2023 and is currently the chief operating officer and chief of staff of Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff.
“With Missionforce, we will now bring the best AI, cloud and platform technologies to modernize from the private sector, including people, logistics and analytics,” Collins said in a press release. “The goal is simple: help our fighters and organizations that support them operate smarter, faster, and more efficiently. There has never been more important time to serve those who serve.”
Salesforce has signed contracts with the U.S. government over the years with several branches of the U.S. military, including the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force. The company has not disclosed publicly how many government contracts it has and how much revenue it has earned from them.
The news is the latest in the wave of technology companies that are dedicated to building and providing services to the U.S. government.
