Salesforce Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Fin – Company Announcement - FT.com

Salesforce just announced it's acquiring Fin, the AI-powered customer support platform. Another big check, another capability bolted onto an already bloated system.

Here's what actually happened: Salesforce paid to absorb a tool that helps support teams summarize and act on customer conversations faster. On paper, smart move. In practice, it means one more feature gets folded into the platform — and one more thing you'll need a certified consultant to configure before it does anything useful for your team.

If you've been burned before by Salesforce promises that turned into six-month implementation projects and five-figure admin bills, this news probably lands the same way the last dozen announcements did. More capability on paper. Same friction in real life. The gap between what the platform can theoretically do and what your team actually uses keeps growing, and you're the one explaining that gap to your CFO.

The pattern here isn't new. Enterprise CRM vendors acquire promising tools, wrap them in their ecosystem, and the people who benefit first are the consultants who learn the new module before you do.

You don't need more features. You need fewer things standing between a workflow decision and that workflow actually working.
