Organizations using Salesforce can enable their
support teams to develop critical communication skills with
Skillsoft CAISY™
Skillsoft (NYSE: SKIL), the platform that empowers organizations
and learners to unlock their full potential, today announced a
partnership with Salesforce to bring Skillsoft CAISY™ agent actions
to Agentforce and the Salesforce ecosystem, transforming how
organizations upskill and reskill their customer support teams at
scale. This new partnership will enable organizations to gain
deeper visibility into team performance, accelerate frontline
workforce development through AI-powered learning, and drive
measurable improvements in customer service quality and
satisfaction.
Customer expectations are evolving rapidly. According to
Salesforce, 80% of customers say the experience a company provides
is equally important as its products and services. However, many
support teams are underprepared: while 59% of service
decision-makers identify upskilling customer-facing talent as a
high priority, 70% still report moderate to major service
challenges due to underskilled staff. The new Skillsoft CAISY™
offerings for the Salesforce ecosystem will address this gap by
providing interactive, AI-powered coaching environments where
organizations and their support teams can simulate and practice
high-stakes customer conversations, receive real-time feedback, and
strengthen critical power skills like communication, empathy, and
problem-solving – all without disrupting daily workflows.
“Exceptional customer service does not happen by chance – it is
the result of consistent practice, feedback, and development. Too
often, support teams lack access to the kind of training that
effectively prepares them for the real-world conversations they
face every day,” said Apratim Purakayastha, General Manager, Talent
Development Solutions, Skillsoft. “Our work with Salesforce will
bring the transformative learning experience of CAISY™ directly
into the tools customer-facing teams use every day, helping
organizations strengthen relationships, improve performance, and
turn their support function into a competitive advantage.”
“We are excited for Skillsoft to bring its industry-leading
enterprise learning solutions to Salesforce, delivering real-time
AI training for organizations and their customer service teams
exactly when they need it,” added Tyler Carlson, SVP, Head of
Product, AppExchange and Ecosystem, Salesforce. “Having Skillsoft
CAISY™ within Salesforce will unlock the next evolution of how
humans and AI agents, together, deliver quality training and great
customer experiences at scale.”
New Skillsoft Apps for the Salesforce Ecosystem

this agent action will enable organizations to assess real customer
interactions using Skillsoft’s custom conversation rubrics. Support

effective team development.
