About Us
Founded in 2012, Zennify began with a clear belief: the right technology, applied with care and urgency, can solve real problems for real people.

The system helped establish a new global standard and shaped how we operate today. Zennify is now a trusted consulting partner delivering enterprise scale transformation across North America. We have completed more than 600 Salesforce projects and 200 data and AI engagements, earning a 4.9 out of 5 CSAT. Our team holds 750 plus certifications and continues to expand in capability and impact. We specialize in Salesforce, nCino, MuleSoft, Twilio, and Databricks. We focus on outcomes that matter. We listen with intent. We deliver with discipline. We build solutions that move the needle. Privately owned and backed by Tercera and Salesforce Ventures, we continue to invest in our people, our partnerships, and our purpose.
It is all part of the Zenn.
