Swantide & CKKC Associates announce AI partnership designed specifically for High Education

San Francisco, 1/23/2026 –  Swantide and CKKC Associates are excited to announce a strategic partnership that combines Swantide's Platform, AI-powered Salesforce Assistant & Administrator experience with the visionary leadership of Chris Coppa and his team. CKKC and Associates is the trusted advisor for all Higher Education Salesforce customers.

‍

Higher education institutions face unprecedented pressure to do more with limited resources. This partnership combines CKKC Associates' deep expertise in Salesforce analytics and organizational assessment with Swantide's AI-powered administration platform — giving institutions the insight to understand their technology investments and the tools to act on that understanding. Together, we're helping Higher Ed move from reactive system management to strategic, AI-enabled operations.

‍

Chris Coppa, CEO and Founder CKKC writes "Higher education institutions have invested significantly in Salesforce, but too many are operating without a clear picture of what they actually have — or what's possible. Our work gives them that clarity. Partnering with Swantide means those insights translate directly into action, with AI handling the administrative complexity so institutions can focus on what matters: serving students, faculty, and staff."

‍
Swantide is the first AI-powered  platform designed to reduce the cost of Salesforce ownership.  Our purpose built platform provides a significant productivity boost for all Salesforce admins, System Integrators and Salesforce ISV’s.  The Swantide platform includes powerful AI powered documentation, a robust Assistant to help every Salesforce user and a powerful AI Administrator.

“I love what Chris and his team bring to High Education”, writes Mike Milburn (GTM Swantide).   “Higher Education is a critical business.  Salesforce has earned the right to be one of the core technologies for High Education.  Now it’s time to return agility and efficiency to this market.  Our partnership with Chris and his team allows Higher Education to not just get rid of costly tech debt but successfully implement critical AgentForce Technologies."
