Dentsu Soken joins Salesforce's Forward Deployed Engineering Partner Network for Agentforce deployments
On October 15, Dentsu Soken said it has joined Salesforce's invite-only FDE Partner Network in Japan. With more than 10 Agentforce delivery engagements already done, it will use Salesforce's FDE training and product-team access to take customer AI pilots into production.
Dentsu Soken (電通総研) announced on October 15, 2026 that it has joined Salesforce Japan's Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) Partner Network, the invite-only program for partners that deploy Agentforce in production.
The firm says it already has more than ten Agentforce implementation engagements. Network membership gives it access to Salesforce's internal FDE knowledge, specialized skills, and training so it can help customers move from AI pilots to live business use—especially where security, proprietary data, integrations, and orchestration are the hard parts.
For FDEs, this is another large systems integrator treating embedded, production-owned Agentforce work as a named practice rather than a one-off project. It sits alongside Dentsu Group's separate Google Cloud FDE/FDM skills push and earlier Salesforce FDE Partner Network certifications (such as Dentsu Digital), and points to growing demand for engineers who can ship agents against messy enterprise CRM stacks.
