Data Cloud provides data and AI-driven experiences and activation across all touchpoints and channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other CDPs were built for marketers, making it not easily accessible or usable by other business functions without custom solutions, custom APIs, queries, and multiple requests.

Salesforce went from not having a CDP to being named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner\u00ae Magic Quadrant\u2122 for Customer Data Platforms in just over three years. What do you attribute that to?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Salesforce has been the leader in the CRM market for over two decades. Customer success is one of our core values, and we actively listen to customer feedback and insights to fuel our product development. It became abundantly clear that all the structured and unstructured data customers have is not used effectively for them to engage with their customers. The explosion of digital transformation and the secular shift toward privacy makes the value of first-party data increasingly valuable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salesforce rose to the challenge to deliver Data Cloud as an organic innovation. It is our fastest-growing organic innovation with astonishing growth and tremendous customer adoption and success. Over the past quarter, Data Cloud processed 7 trillion inbound records, with 1.2 trillion activations that drove customer engagement, growing at an astonishing pace. We innovated across our platform capabilities, applications, and core clouds on the same metadata layer that made us successful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are humbled and excited about Data Cloud\u2019s success and the value we are delivering to our customers, while at the same time, moving the industry forward with our innovation at a rapid clip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"more-from-block

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-what-value-does-data-cloud-provide-for-businesses\">Q. What value does Data Cloud provide for businesses?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Data Cloud brings disconnected and trapped structured and unstructured data together to deliver an actionable, comprehensive, 360-degree view of customers. It empowers teams across organizations with access to real-time data and insights about their customers and their interactions with its products and services, enabling them to deliver personalized customer experiences at every touchpoint. Key benefits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bringing all of their customer data into Salesforce <\/strong>across the entire enterprise into Data Cloud with clicks, not code or custom API integrations:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Zero-ETL partnerships:<\/em> We&#8217;ve partnered with Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, and Google to enable zero-copy\/ETL with Data Cloud. Companies can access and act on their data without moving or copying it, supporting data integrity.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Salesforce connectors:<\/em> With Data Cloud, organizations can integrate all of their data across their Salesforce investments with just a few clicks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Out-of-the-box connectors:<\/em> We built and are consistently adding to our library of connectors that enable businesses to leverage pre-built connectors to cloud storage like Amazon S3.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>MuleSoft: <\/em>We have the #1 AI CRM but we also have the #1 integration and API platform with MuleSoft, enabling customers to connect any system or any type of data into Data Cloud seamlessly.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Building a comprehensive view of the customer <\/strong>for better insights for customer engagement using BI and AI insights:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Transform &amp; Harmonize data:<\/em><strong> <\/strong>Data Cloud enables businesses to consolidate and refine their source data without using third-party zero-ETL tools. With a user-friendly interface, businesses can easily map their enterprise data to a common model, creating a unified view of their customers.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Create Identity Resolution:<\/em> Once the data is transformed, companies can leverage our identity resolution to build a single view of their customers across all of their products and services, accessible across the organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Analyze and Predict:<\/em> With native features built right in the platform, customers can run AI\/BI insights on the unified data. Whether it is creating new insights like churn score, lifetime value, or applying a company\u2019s own AI models with our Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) technology.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Activating data across the entire customer experience:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Activation across the Customer 360: <\/em>Data Cloud is built to be native to the Einstein 1 Platform and leverages BI and AI insights to drive amazing integrated activations across the Customer 360, including sales, service, marketing, ecommerce, privacy-safe, paid-media AdTech activation, and more \u2013 multiplying the value of every customer engagement and interaction.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-why-is-data-so-critical-in-the-age-of-generative-ai\">Q. Why is data so critical in the age of generative AI?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The AI revolution is a data revolution and is also a trust revolution<strong>.<\/strong> The quality of generative AI output is directly linked to the relevance and context of the data that fuels it. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/stories\/generative-ai-ethics-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">58% of workers believe<\/a> that trusted customer data is essential for successfully utilizing generative AI in their roles. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/stories\/connectivity-report-announcement-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">62% of IT leaders<\/a> say their organization isn\u2019t yet equipped to harmonize data systems to fully leverage AI. What\u2019s more, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.box.com\/resources\/unstructured-data-paper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">90%<\/a> of enterprise data exists in unstructured formats such as PDFs, emails, social media posts, and audio files, making it largely inaccessible for business applications and AI models.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The AI revolution is a data revolution and is also a trust revolution<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>Rahul Auradkar, EVP and General Manager of Unified Data Services &amp; Einstein<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/stories\/generative-ai-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">80% of IT leaders<\/a> acknowledge the transformative potential of generative AI in leveraging data more effectively, 59% still require a unified data strategy to unlock this power. This is where Data Cloud plays a pivotal role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-q-what-are-some-interesting-data-cloud-use-cases-you-ve-seen-from-customers\">Q. What are some interesting Data Cloud use cases you&#8217;ve seen from customers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers of every size, across every industry, are using Data Cloud to transform their business and redefine what a CDP can and should do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/stories\/financial-services-cloud-personalized-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mascoma Bank<\/a> uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/stories\/financial-services-cloud-personalized-service\/?d=cta-body-promo-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Financial Services Cloud<\/a> with Data Cloud to see a customer\u2019s entire relationship with the bank and understand activity surrounding the customer and their accounts.
