Salesforce dropped its 2026 Connectivity Report this week with a headline number that should get every architect's attention: enterprises now average 12 AI agents each, and that number is projected to surge 67% by 2027. Meanwhile, the remaining two Spring '26 production rollout waves are hitting orgs over the next two weeks, and the Q4 FY26 earnings call is locked in for February 25.

2026 Connectivity Report: 67% Multi-Agent Surge Ahead, But Half Run in Silos
Salesforce published its 11th annual Connectivity Benchmark Report on February 5, surveying 1,050 IT leaders across nine countries. The headline: organizations currently run an average of 12 AI agents, with adoption projected to climb 67% within two years. 83% of organizations say most or all teams have adopted AI agents. But here's the catch: 50% of those agents operate in isolated silos rather than as part of a multi-agent system.
Why it matters: The integration gap is real and growing. 96% of IT leaders say agent success depends on cross-system integration, and 94% agree their architecture needs to become more API-driven. With enterprise app counts rising from 897 to 957 year-over-year (only 27% integrated), the organizations that treat agent deployment as an architecture problem rather than just an AI problem will pull ahead. If your Agentforce rollout doesn't start with a data and integration strategy, you're building on sand.
Spring '26 Remaining Production Rollouts Are Next
With Wave 1 already deployed on January 16, the two remaining Spring '26 production rollout waves are targeted for the weekends of February 13-14 and February 20-21. Check Salesforce Trust for your specific instance date. Salesforce Ben published a comprehensive go-live readiness guide this week highlighting three enforced changes that require action before upgrade, along with standout features including the new Editable Data Table for Flow (experimental status), TypeScript support for Lightning Web Components, and Agent Script for deterministic agent behavior.
Why it matters: If your org hasn't been upgraded yet, you have days to finalize testing. The enforced changes are the priority: review them now, not after the upgrade breaks something. The Editable Data Table for Flow is worth evaluating despite its experimental label, as it eliminates a long-standing dependency on third-party AppExchange components for inline editing in Screen Flows.
Q4 FY26 Earnings Call Set for February 25
Salesforce announced on February 4 that it will release fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2026 results after market close on Wednesday, February 25, followed by a conference call at 2:00 PM PT. This comes off a strong Q3 where Salesforce reported $10.3 billion in revenue (up 9% YoY), Agentforce surpassed 3.2 trillion tokens processed, and the company raised full-year guidance to $41.45-$41.55 billion.
Why it matters: All eyes will be on Agentforce revenue trajectory. Q3 showed Agentforce and Data 360 reaching roughly $1.4 billion in combined ARR with 114% year-over-year growth, but analysts note AI still represents less than 3.5% of total revenue. The market wants to see whether consumption-based Agentforce deals are converting from pilots to production at scale. Expect pointed questions about agent deployment depth versus breadth.
Spring '26 Product Release Officially Announced
Salesforce formally announced the Spring 2026 Product Release, with general availability set for February 23. The four headline features: Agentforce Builder for building production-ready agents in a single conversational workspace, a unified Sales Workspace that consolidates agent activity and analytics for reps, Proactive Service that detects issues before customers escalate, and a next-generation Shield Experience that unifies Event Monitoring, Platform Encryption, Field Audit Trail, and Data Detect into one interface.
Why it matters: Agentforce Builder moving beyond beta is significant for adoption. The previous build-test-deploy cycle was a real barrier for teams without dedicated developer resources. The new Shield Experience consolidation is also worth flagging for compliance-heavy industries: having encryption, monitoring, and auditing in a single pane of glass reduces the operational overhead that has historically made Shield adoption feel heavyweight.
Industry Spotlight: Technology
The Connectivity Report's finding that enterprise app counts grew to 957 with only 27% integrated should resonate especially with technology companies running complex SaaS stacks alongside Salesforce. The report found that 96% of organizations face barriers to using data for AI use cases, with 40% identifying outdated IT architecture as the top blocker. For SaaS and technology companies already managing dozens of integrations, the push toward API-first architecture isn't optional: it's the prerequisite for making multi-agent systems work. The Spring '26 release adds to this with TypeScript support for LWC and a new MCP-powered TypeScript converter tool, both aimed at modernizing the developer experience for teams building on the platform.

That's a Wrap
The Connectivity Report paints a clear picture: agent adoption is accelerating, but the integration layer is where most organizations will succeed or stall.
