Let us now have a look at the key takeaways of Dreamforce 2019.
Customer 360 Data Manager
Marc Benioff, the co-CEO and Chairman of Salesforce shared the vision to achieve SSOT or Single Source of Truth, wherein data across an organisation will connect and work as a cohesive system. This involves bringing together data from customer service, sales, commerce, marketing and external sources for delivering single Salesforce ID to each customer.
Collaboration of Tableau and Salesforce to Strengthen Capabilities
Earlier in 2019, Salesforce acquired Tableau, the data visualisation tool.
Marc Benioff announced the aim of this acquisition to be strengthening of analytics, business intelligence and data visualisation. Though many expected a lot of Tableau, we still do not have a clear picture where exactly Tableau will fit in Salesforce.
Well, this is good news for the customers who are not looking for too much tampering of the tool!
Einstein Voice Enhancements
Einstein, the machine learning platform of Salesforce is all set to help users better analyse as well as predict business performance.
The capabilities of Einstein include
- natural language understanding
- voice input
- voice output
- intelligent interpretation.
Last year, Einstein Voice Assistant was introduced for allowing customers make queries of Salesforce data using voice command. Now, it has been extended to Einstein Voice Skills.
Dreamforce 2020
In the Salesforce Ecosystem, Dreamforce occupies a really significant role.
This year, due to Covid-19, Dreamforce, for the first time in 17 years, will be held virtually.
Though this appears unfortunate to some, people around the world, who are unable to gather for the conference, physically, will get the opportunity to attend the virtual meet.
Dreamforce will take place from 9th to 12th November 2020.
Usually Dreamforce events are organised in San Francisco, but this year, you can be a part of the event right from your living room if you have a robust internet connection!
Well, in this virtual meet, you will probably miss the parties organised in the Dreamforce campus. If you are a first timer, you have no other option apart from looking forward to 2021!
