Salesforce is laying off 86 employees in San Francisco as part of its second round of job cuts this year, while announcing the acquisition of m3ter and Contentful in a 13-month acquisition spree.

- Contentful is a shot in the arm for Salesforce's 'headless' bet
Salesforce's acquisition of Contentful aims to enhance its Headless 360 product by providing an enterprise-grade content layer for dynamic customer experiences. The move addresses limitations in Salesforce's previous capabilities and aligns with its strategy to transition into a system of action via APIs. The acquisition is expected to close later this year, pending regulatory approval.
