With a unified data foundation built into Marketing Cloud, marketers can quickly access and easily action on data to power Agentforce across the entire customer lifecycle — from awareness through loyalty. The results? Increased revenue growth and customer lifetime value.
Engage with customers across the entire lifecycle by providing Agentforce and teams across your organisation (marketing, sales, service and commerce) with unified and actionable data. This makes content more relevant, recommendations more personalised, experiences across departments more connected and builds lasting customer relationships.
Unlock all your data, from any source across the business, to gain insight into customers and increase their lifetime value.
Prepare new data for seamless consumption by marketing teams and downstream systems (e.g., kick off a personalised journey in Marketing Cloud, update Contact record in Sales Cloud) using a click-and-drag interface to standardise and map incoming data to the data model in Data Cloud.
Unify and leverage non-CRM or third-party data (e.g., inventory, click data) without needing to physically move or copy it, using two-way data access between Salesforce and partners like Snowflake or Google BigQuery.
Reduce the amount of customised integrations and maintenance preventing marketing teams from using data in campaigns. Ingest and combine customer data with native connectivity to Salesforce apps (Marketing, Sales, Service, Commerce), prebuilt integrations to cloud storage like Amazon S3 and the ability to connect to any system with MuleSoft.
Understand how different types of data (e.g., anonymous, unstructured, real-time) captured in different systems tie back to a single individual. For example, determine that atl@salesforce.com and al123@nto.com are associated with the same person using user-defined rules to link disconnected records together.
Increase speed to market with structured and unstructured data needed to segment audiences, inform Agentforce actions, & analyse performance
Make Agentforce more effective with the right contextual data. By connecting and harmonising all of your structured and unstructured data in Data Cloud, it becomes available so Agentforce can analyse that data and determine the best action — all while keeping your data safe and secure on the Einstein Trust Layer.
Use Agentforce to help you to create target audience segments in minutes. With Data Cloud and Agentforce working together, you can simply describe the target audience you want and the agent will translate your natural language prompt into the appropriate segment attributes - no SQL required!
Create customised predictive AI models from scratch with clicks not code or bring in existing models from your data science teams. You can do this using direct integrations between Data Cloud and external tools like Amazon SageMaker, Google Vertex AI and Databricks to consume predictions and scores (e.g., propensity to buy or likelihood to churn) generated by customised AI/ML models.
Minimise the number of external analytics tools needed to understand customers and how they respond to campaigns. Use Calculated Insights (e.g., lifetime value) in Data Cloud built with customer profile data and out-of-the box dashboards that combine customer and revenue data to understand and optimise segment performance across activations (e.g., Google Ads campaign).
Personalise every touchpoint in each customer relationship with AI recommendations, decisioning and journey automation.
Boost the relevance of AI-powered recommendations and offers based on unified profile data from every engagement with your brand (e.g., show customer personalised product recommendations on web based on browsing behaviour, in-store purchases, past service cases or sales enquiries).
Reduce wasted spend through more relevant advertising campaigns or by suppressing advertising when it’s not the right time, powered by consented data from customers. Reach customers with direct activation integrations to ad partners like Google, Meta, Amazon and LinkedIn. Enrich profile data and optimise programmatic media buys with apps from AppExchange partners like Acxiom and The Trade Desk.
Make every journey touchpoint more relevant and timely, activating Data Cloud audiences with data points that influence channel, content and frequency (e.g., automatically trigger education journey when customers are not using key product features). Refresh journeys with the most up to date data and segment membership as changes occur.
Bring the operational customer profile into every workflow across the business, with a single platform built on CRM and the same unified data powering alerts to sales reps, personalised ecommerce experiences, next-best-action service recommendations and more.

Using a unified data foundation built into Marketing Cloud, marketers can increase speed to market with both structured and unstructured data needed to segment audiences, inform Agentforce actions and analyse performance. And allows you to seamlessly activate all your data with insights and automation across every touchpoint in the customer lifecycle.
Historically, customer data platforms (CDP) have been a solution used primarily by marketing teams. Data Cloud not only provides the traditional benefits of a CDP, it also offers a comprehensive data solution for other data-driven teams like sales, service and commerce, allowing them to automate workflows, personalise customer interactions and work smarter with AI and Agentforce.
A unified data foundation solves for business use cases across the entire customer lifecycle by making enterprise data easily accessible and actionable, including data from existing data and AI investments (e.g., Snowflake, CRM). For example, raise conversion rates with advanced segmentation and real-time personalisation of every customer interaction. Improve customer lifetime value and productivity across teams with shared insights and AI-powered next-best-action recommendations. Increase share-of-wallet using connected journeys and alerts to drive up-sell and cross-sell opportunities for additional products and services for customers with unmet needs.
