These levels vary by region and customer category.<\/p>\n<p>However, the move means that every Online Service \u2013 sold under an Enterprise Agreement (EA) or a Products and Services Agreement (MPSA) \u2013 has one consistent price across each tier. That price will be available on Microsoft\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p>As such, Microsoft limits some customers, renewing after October 31, 2025, from securing the same discounts as in their previous contracts.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the standardized price could be lower than what some customers currently pay.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, while Microsoft customers may not be able to secure license cost discounts, they could still seek concessions on multi-year terms and value-added services <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/crm\/microsoft-to-scrap-business-discounts-across-all-its-online-services-including-365-azure-and-dynamics-365\/\">(Read more&#8230;)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/customer-data-platform\/salesforce-to-snap-up-waii-boost-data-cloud-tableau-next\/\">Salesforce to Snap Up Waii, Boost Data Cloud &amp; Tableau Next<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Salesforce has agreed to acquire Waii, a natural language-to-SQL platform provider.<\/p>\n<p>Waii offers technology that translates everyday language into powerful SQL queries, removing the need for data scientists and engineers.<\/p>\n<p>Its software benefits businesses as most store data in complex databases requiring SQL access. Waii allows non-technical users to extract data.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a service or sales rep may ask: \u201cWhich customers in region A are up for renewal?\u201d From there, Waii generates an SQL code allowing the rep to retrieve the answer.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside that capability, Waii has built a self-learning metadata knowledge graph. Think of it as a smart map of data that adapts to the business\u2019s unique structure.<\/p>\n<p>With Waii, Salesforce hopes to make the data stored on its platform more accessible and relevant to everyone in the business, regardless of their technical know-how.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raveendrnathan Loganathan<\/strong>, <strong>EVP of Salesforce Data Cloud<\/strong>, doubled down on this. He said: \u201cThe future of business isn\u2019t about having the most data; it\u2019s about making that data speak a common language.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Our vision is to empower every employee, from the boardroom to the frontline, to have a trusted conversation with their data.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As Loganathan suggests, increasing data accessibility by taking away the need for specialized SQL skills is the principal driver for this acquisition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/customer-data-platform\/salesforce-to-snap-up-waii-boost-data-cloud-tableau-next\/\">(Read more&#8230;)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/contact-center\/cisco-confirms-two-1bn-megadeals-including-webex\/\">Cisco Confirms Two $1BN+ Megadeals, Including Webex<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Cisco has confirmed that two enterprises placed mega-orders worth over $1BN during fiscal year (FY) 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, from a customer experience perspective, both deals included Cisco\u2019s collaboration suite, which comprises CCaaS, CPaaS, and UCaaS solutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chuck Robbins<\/strong>, <strong>CEO of Cisco<\/strong>, celebrated the wins during the company\u2019s latest earnings call. He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Two webscale customers each placed total orders of over $1,000,000,000 for networking, security, collaboration (Webex), and observability in FY 2025.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The megadeals underscore the growing payoff of Cisco\u2019s strategy to pull Webex through as part of larger enterprise deals.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, Cisco accelerated that strategy by centralizing Webex with networking and security in one business unit, unifying the go-to-market for sales teams and partners.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Cisco kick-started a drive to build capabilities from some solutions into others, enabling differentiated innovation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/contact-center\/cisco-confirms-two-1bn-megadeals-including-webex\/\">(Read more&#8230;)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/contact-center\/nice-tightens-its-salesforce-integration-opens-up-to-agentforce\/\">NiCE Tightens Its Salesforce Integration, Opens Up to Agentforce<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>NiCE has expanded its Salesforce partnership, announcing a deeper CCaaS-CRM integration.<\/p>\n<p>The integration builds on the 2022 release of Bring Your Own Telephony with Salesforce Service Cloud Voice.<\/p>\n<p>Back then, NiCE, like many CCaaS competitors, embedded its voice channel within Service Cloud.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the contact center stalwart is adding workforce engagement management capabilities (WEM) into the CRM desktop and providing an integrated channel set.<\/p>\n<p>In doing so, NiCE doesn\u2019t present competing capabilities, as with similar Service Cloud integrations, but offers a unified channel mix and inserts unique features into the CRM.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, while NiCE has yet to specify which WEM tools it will augment the CRM with, it leads the CCaaS space in resource planning and may provide many value-adding capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the vendor has pledged to join the Salesforce Zero Copy Partner Network, claiming to be the first CCaaS provider to do so.<\/p>\n<p>By establishing a bidirectional Zero Copy integration with Salesforce Data Cloud, NiCE can pull data from its CXone Mpower solution into the customer data platform (CDP), and vice versa <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/contact-center\/nice-tightens-its-salesforce-integration-opens-up-to-agentforce\/\">(Read more&#8230;)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From another Salesforce acquisition to a pair of Cisco &#8216;megadeals&#8217;, here are extracts from some of this week\u2019s most popular news stories.
