The Long and Winding Data Success Road

Long and Winding Data Success Road Fostering a Data-Driven Culture for Informed Decision-Making Enhancing trust in data goes beyond technical solutions; it hinges on cultivating a culture that instills confidence and fosters widespread adoption. Data culture, defined as the collective behaviors and beliefs of individuals who value, practice, and promote data usage for improved decision-making, empowers all members of an organization with insights to address complex business challenges. Key Insights: Redefining Data Governance for Trustworthiness Data governance extends beyond a mere set of rules and restrictions; strategically employed, it becomes a vital tool for reinforcing data trustworthiness. An impressive 85% of analytics and IT leaders use data governance to ensure and certify baseline data quality. It entails establishing rules or policies governing the collection, management, storage, measurement, and communication of information, setting parameters for data access, accuracy, privacy, security, and retention. Governance in Action: A Multi-Pronged Approach Defying Data Gravity Data gravity, the notion that accumulating large data volumes in a specific location or system attracts additional applications and services, poses challenges for data relocation. Leaders in analytics and IT adopt a multi-pronged approach, employing an average of 3.2 different strategies to counteract data gravity.

Salesforce Flow

Einstein Flow and Generative AI

By Shannan Hearne, Tectonic Marketing Consultant Based on Nov 2023 Salesforce post from Cesar Castro As part of the ongoing evolution of Salesforce’s Einstein AI, Salesforce provided an update on how Einstein is impacting one of your favorite tools in your Salesforce admin toolkit: Salesforce Flow. Flow, with its numerous powerful capabilities, has been instrumental in helping Salesforce Admins streamline and automate their work, delivering value to all end users in their organizations.  Often without the need for any additional Salesforce development assistance! Einstein Flow and Generative AI are powering a whole new brand of Salesforce actions. Salesforce Flow is a blanket term for everything in the Salesforce ecosystem that allows you to create, manage, and run automation with clicks not code.  Those of you who are using Flow on the regular?  You are known as Flownatics! Working With Einstein Flow and Generative AI In preparation for Einstein for Flow, content was collaborated on with Ajaay Ravi, Einstein for Flow Product Manager, Cesar Castro, Product Manager for Einstein Flow, and Vera Vetter, Director of Product Management, AI Research. Together, as product managers, they are actively working on enhancing Einstein for Flow. As Tectonic’s Salesforce Marketing Consultant I am very excited to share the news with you! Generative AI Einstein for Flow is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool that utilizes large language models (LLMs). To drive process automation across multiple Salesforce products. Whether you are a new Flow user or an experienced admin, Einstein for Flow aims to assist in learning and adopting this capability. By aiding in the creation of more complex flows and time saving automations.  Many of Salesforce Flow’s capabilities allow you to do what used to require Apex developers. The powerhouse behind Einstein for Flow is CodeGen, Salesforce’s in-house LLM released by Salesforce AI Research in 2022 to transform software development. CodeGen is the driving force behind the tailored AI solution for the needs of Salesforce users. So, how does Einstein for Flow operate? It’s as straightforward as describing your flow requirement in plain language through a natural language prompt. Einstein then invokes code to interpret and generate the natural flow data. To handle intricate flows, a concept called a “chain of thought” is introduced. By breaking down the flow into manageable steps, sequentially creating each part, and merging them to produce the final flow. In tis way Einstein is ensuring accuracy in meeting your business automation needs. Looking ahead, Salesforce’s roadmap for Einstein for Flow includes exciting features. One notable feature is the ability to use Einstein to edit an existing flow. This is irrespective of whether Einstein created it. Salesforce’s goal is to make flow building more accessible by enabling editing of both new and existing flows. In upcoming releases, an Einstein assistive interface will be integrated. Thereby allowing you to open and edit flows by conversing with Einstein in natural language. For all you Star Trek fans out there, the age of the Enterprise doing your verbal bidding is upon us! Einstein Suggestions Einstein will suggest changes and present a list of interconnected updates resulting from the proposed modifications. Designed to be user-friendly yet advanced, you can inspect recommended changes. Then review step by step, and view individual modifications. Additionally, a history of all changes suggested and made by Einstein will be available for those interested in maintaining an audit trail of AI-driven alterations. This is just the beginning for Einstein for Flow. As Salesforce launched a pilot program with diverse customers, they plan to go general availability (GA) in Spring ’24, with capabilities to generate flows for both standard and custom objects. Customer feedback will play a crucial role in shaping their future roadmap as they continue to explore more use cases and capabilities for Einstein for Flow. Flows are such a powerful tool, they are like visual coding created with clicks. Unlike code requiring only an understanding of programming concepts and logic. Examples of Flow Automation Use Cases: Stay tuned for updates as we ride the Einstein for Flow wave. It’s a game-changer! Tectonic will be watching and implementing with Einstein Flow and look forward to helping you do the same.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud for a Healthcare Provider

Personalized Care & Communication: Salesforce Marketing Cloud for a Healthcare Provider As the elderly become more tech-savvy, they expect modern, efficient ways to communicate with healthcare providers. A regional Medicare provider in the Northeastern United States faced challenges with their outdated communication systems. Relying solely on paper mail, postcards, and phone calls, the organization struggled to connect with members, lacked visibility into the success of their campaigns, and experienced early turnover due to minimal engagement. These inefficiencies strained the customer experience and made it clear that modernization was overdue. To address these challenges, we implemented Salesforce Marketing Cloud to engage customers through email and SMS. Goals for the Project: Tectonic’s Role in the Transformation Tectonic designed and implemented a Salesforce Marketing Cloud solution that transformed how the provider communicated with its members. The solution enabled multi-channel, multi-language communications integrated with Salesforce Health Cloud via the Marketing Cloud Connector and additional systems like MuleSoft and Snowflake. To enhance SMS capabilities, the organization also integrated with Five9. Early collaboration with the provider’s Salesforce Health Cloud team enabled Tectonic to address outdated customer data issues, create safeguards for inaccurate information, and plan future strategies for seamless customer data collection. A custom preference center was also developed and translated into multiple languages. Overcoming Data Challenges Accurate customer data was a significant obstacle—only 60% of records included valid email or mobile phone numbers, with an even smaller percentage having both. Tectonic conducted multiple working sessions to develop strategic efficiencies and establish a foundational process for gathering and cleansing member contact information. Customized journeys were created to ensure messaging aligned with available communication channels. For example: Key Outcomes Tectonic’s efforts allowed the healthcare provider to modernize their communications, better analyze engagement data, and improve member interactions. The results exceeded expectations: Impact Across Departments This project not only improved member communication but also empowered internal departments—including Marketing, Customer Experience, Sales, and Retention—with easy-to-understand metrics. It laid the foundation for future campaigns, enhanced data accuracy, and fostered stronger member relationships. By leveraging Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Tectonic’s expertise, the healthcare provider transformed its operations to deliver personalized, timely communication and ensure lifelong member satisfaction.
