Salesforce Just Named Its 2027 Partners of the Year. Cirrius Is One of Them.
Yesterday, Salesforce announced the winners of the 2027 Salesforce Partner of the Year Awards. Out of hundreds of nominations worldwide, 43 partners were selected across 14 categories.
Cirrius Solutions won in the category we would have picked if you let us choose: Customer Value.
Not the biggest booth. Not the most certifications. The award for delivering outcomes customers can actually measure. That is the whole reason this company exists, so forgive us for being a little loud about it today.
The short version
- Cirrius won the 2027 Salesforce Partner of the Year Award for Customer Value. Out of hundreds of nominations worldwide, 43 partners were selected across 14 categories.
- The category is the point. Customer Value is the award for delivering outcomes customers can actually measure, not the biggest booth or the most certifications.
- The 2027 program was redesigned around proof. Winning submissions had to show unique technical innovation and measurable, customer-verified outcomes.
- The company standing in that list is Minneapolis-based. The consulting winners include Accenture, Deloitte, IBM Consulting, PwC, KPMG and Slalom.
What the Salesforce Partner of the Year Award Is
The Salesforce Partner of the Year Awards are Salesforce’s top annual recognition for its partner ecosystem. The 2027 program was completely redesigned around one idea: prove it.
Winning submissions had to demonstrate two things:
- Unique technical innovation. Creative solutions that stretch what the Salesforce platform can do, not checkbox implementations.
- Measurable customer outcomes. Clear before-and-after results, backed by authentic customer voices. Not promises. Receipts.
Winners were selected by an international panel of Salesforce leaders from hundreds of submissions, with emphasis on customer success, innovation, adoption, and measurable business value. This year’s roster includes 43 winners from 18 countries, and the consulting winners include Accenture, Deloitte, IBM Consulting, PwC, KPMG, and Slalom.
Cirrius Solutions is on that list. In the Customer Value category, a Minneapolis-based firm is standing next to the largest consultancies on the planet. We think that says something about how this work should be judged: by what went live and what it changed, not by headcount.
Why the Customer Value Category Matters Most
Every category in the 2027 Salesforce Partner of the Year Awards is competitive. But Customer Value is the one that cuts closest to the truth of this business.
Anyone can deploy software. The gap between a deployment and a result is where most projects quietly die:
Turned on is not the same as adopted
An agent running is not a business that changed.

Turned on is not the same as adopted
Salesforce made exactly this point in its announcement, and it matches what we see in the field every week.
Adoption is the product
If people route around the system, the license spend was a donation.

Adoption is the product
If the sales team will not live in it and the service team works around it, nothing you deployed matters.
Value has to survive an audit
Customer-verified, measurable outcomes.

Value has to survive an audit
That is what the award required, and it is a standard we would happily be graded on every quarter.
Our positioning has always been borrow the expertise, build the asset. You should not need to hire a permanent army to get durable systems. You need a partner who treats your outcome as the deliverable. That is the work this award recognizes.
The Track Record Behind the Trophy
Awards are lagging indicators. This one reflects years of reps:
Behind those numbers is a senior-heavy delivery team that architects for the outcome, not the change order.
And to be clear about who earned this: our delivery organization did. Consultants, architects, and project leads who sweat go-lives, chase adoption numbers after launch, and treat a customer’s KPI dashboard like their own scoreboard. This trophy belongs to them and to the customers who trusted us with real problems.
What This Means If You Run on Salesforce
A vendor award is only interesting if it changes something for you. Here is what it signals:
- Third-party validation, not self-reporting. Salesforce examined the work, the innovation, and the verified outcomes, and put us in the winner’s column. You do not have to take our word for how we deliver.
- Depth where the platform is heading. This year’s awards centered on the agentic enterprise: AI agents, Data 360, and systems that act instead of just report. That is exactly where our practice has been investing, from Agentforce delivery to our own AI partnership work.
- A partner who will be graded on your results. The standard that won this award is the standard on every engagement: measurable value, verified by the customer.
