Gartner named Salesforce a Leader in Customer Data Platforms. See why.

Why Data Cloud?

Data has always been the foundation of CRM. But the connection between enterprise data and CRM is broken. Companies are collecting more data and signals about their customers than ever before, yet that data sits in siloes and is disconnected from the customer experience. And while most companies have invested in centralizing their data, it’s trapped. Over time, data strategies and customer strategies have diverged. Data Cloud isn’t just about bringing data together. It’s about unlocking your data in service of the customer. Deeply integrated into the Einstein 1 Platform, Data Cloud makes all your data natively available across all Salesforce applications -- Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Commerce Cloud, Tableau, and MuleSoft -- to power automation and business processes and inform AI.

Build a trusted data foundation on the Einstein 1 Platform.

Connect, federate, and harmonize data from any product and system into a complete view of every customer.

Ingest data into Data Cloud with native connectivity to Salesforce apps (Marketing, Sales, Service, Commerce), prebuilt connectors to cloud storage like Amazon S3, and the ability to integrate to any system with MuleSoft. Virtually connect data from your existing data lake without copying it or moving it with zero-ETL functionality.

Out-of-the-box connectors used in Data Cloud

Cleanse and transform source data from its natural form and shape without reliance on 3rd party zero-ETL tools. Map data from all sources to a common data model to create a standardized, harmonized view of your data across sources.
