🚦 At a Glance
Coforge just announced a snazzy new partnership with Nylas, the API giant for communication tools, aiming to transform how Salesforce users schedule, email, and automate stuff that interns used to do. Their focus? Franchise-based businesses, aka the land where chaos meets head office micromanagement.

✅ Cross-sell potential to existing Salesforce clients
✅ Higher-margin productized services vs plain vanilla IT outsourcing
✅ More reasons to shout “AI” on earnings calls
