Salesforce Vaccine Cloud

Vaccine Cloud for Providers helps to connect people with thousands of vaccination sites. A scalable workflow simplifies vaccine administration. Vaccine Cloud was built to play a central role in connecting vaccines to people equitably and efficiently. Vaccine Cloud will help health authorities, healthcare providers, and organizations more safely and efficiently manage vaccine programs at scale. With Vaccine Cloud, customers will be able to design, build, integrate, and manage their vaccine programs end-to-end, with a platform that is trusted, flexible, and can be deployed quickly. Vaccine Cloud provides solutions like Health Command Center, Vaccine Inventory Management, Vaccination Appointment Scheduling, Clinical Vaccine Administration, Vaccination Outcome Monitoring, Public Health Notifications, and Digital Health Credentials to help customers build and scale their vaccine administration management capabilities to address the next phase of this global pandemic. Work.com for Vaccines has now become Vaccine Cloud. Work.com for Vaccines was developed and launched to support public sector customers and their vaccination management needs. Work.com for Vaccines was critical in helping governments and public health agencies scale vaccine management and distribution as vaccines were waiting to be approved for use around the world. As authorized COVID-19 vaccines have become available, there is shifting demand for vaccine management technology that can address all the needs of customers at scale, not just across public sector but also among healthcare providers, retail pharmacies, businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions, and other organizations. Vaccine Cloud is our solution to address these growing needs across industries and organizations. Vaccine Cloud is a set of solutions aimed at addressing a variety of challenges that governments, healthcare providers and employers will face for vaccine administration. Vaccine Cloud includes capabilities across the Salesforce Customer 360 portfolio including technology powered by Tableau and MuleSoft that can be leveraged by our AppExchange ecosystem of partners to support vaccine administration needs, including: Salesforce has implemented technical and administrative security measures to protect our services and our customers’ data. We strongly encourage customers to follow security best practices and use available tools to strengthen the security of their Salesforce instance. Security does not start and end with Salesforce — it is a trusted partnership with our customers. Salesforce offers our customers controllable features that permit them to configure the security settings of their respective instances as they deem appropriate for the sensitivity of their data. Customers can implement features such as field-level security, profiles and permission sets, two-factor authentication, and IP whitelisting. For more information on the application security features Salesforce provides, please refer to this help article on Protecting Your Salesforce Organization. Salesforce designs products with privacy in mind, so that our products not only comply with our own legal obligations, but also can be used by our customers while they comply with their own legal obligations. Compliance is always a shared partnership between Salesforce and its customers, meaning that while Salesforce commits to complying with its own obligations, customers are responsible for ensuring that their use of our products is appropriate for their own legal requirements. To help customers meet their compliance goals, we have created a number of dedicated resources for customers to learn more about their obligations, such as Salesforce’s privacy website, which includes FAQs on local and industry-specific privacy laws, and additional resources, such as Data Protection Impact Assessments, to help enable customer success. Being a trusted advisor to our customers is a top priority for Salesforce. However, it remains the responsibility of each customer to get their own legal advice when implementing and using Salesforce products, including Work.com. It is important for customers to take into account their own particular use cases to ensure compliance with local healthcare laws, certification requirements, and any other applicable laws or guidance. Vaccine Cloud helps public health authorities, healthcare providers, and nonprofits quickly scale vaccine operations, from recipient registration and scheduling to inventory management and public health outreach. San Francisco — January 27, 2021 — Salesforce, [NYSE: CRM], the global leader in CRM, today announced Vaccine Cloud, technology to help government agencies, healthcare organizations, businesses, nonprofits and educational institutions more rapidly, safely and efficiently deploy and manage their vaccine programs. Today, international, federal, state and local agencies, healthcare providers and nonprofits worldwide are using Salesforce technology specifically for vaccine administration, including Northwell Health, Illinois’ Lake County, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and more.  Now that safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines are available, every country, state and city is rapidly establishing vaccination programs to get shots in the arms of billions of people. However, many government agencies and healthcare organizations don’t have the technology infrastructure in place to handle the complexity, speed and scale necessary for vaccine administration, such as inventory and logistics management, getting people registered and scheduled for their vaccines, and recipient outreach and vaccine outcome monitoring. Governments are also partnering with private sector companies to help manage this mass vaccination effort, and these businesses need the same technology infrastructure to help deliver safe, efficient and effective vaccine administrations and programs. “The biggest challenge the world faces right now is orchestrating the distribution of billions of vaccine doses. Technology can play a critical role in ensuring it’s done efficiently, effectively, and equitably,” said Bret Taylor, President and COO of Salesforce. “We’re proud to be supporting organizations through their recovery and helping to protect people from the effects of COVID-19.” President Biden moves COVID-19 vaccine availability deadline for American adults to April 19; Salesforce Vaccine Cloud adds asynchronous bookings on more channels to meet surge. Salesforce on Thursday released a free update to Vaccine Cloud users that enables preregistration for COVID-19 appointments to meet a coming sign-up rush as most U.S. adults will be eligible for their shots April 19. The Salesforce vaccine distribution system, released in January, now can accept preregistrations for COVID-19 vaccinations. The site will notify people as appointments become available, and process them through a personalized, single-use link. The system also can create appointments and push notifications through multiple channels such as text and email, where before it was web-based. The asynchronous appointment bookings come as President Joe Biden

What is the Difference in Lists and a Data Extensions in Salesforce Marketing Cloud

There are two different methods to store and segment subscriber data within Marketing Cloud: Lists and Data Extensions. Lists have limited functionality, whereas Data Extensions provide full flexibility to store and relate subscriber information. Salesforce Marketing Cloud lists and data extensions are the primary ways to manage your subscriber data. What is the difference between data extension and list in Marketing Cloud? In short, lists are best used for specific email sends lacking advanced data or segmentation, whereas data extensions can be used for basically any type of communication or data management need. If the goal is to organize data with simplicity, go for lists. What is data extension in Marketing Cloud? A data extension is a table that contains your data. With Marketing Cloud Connect, push tracking data from the Marketing Cloud back to your Sales or Service Cloud orgs using Salesforce data extensions (SFDEs). Data extensions are also filterable. What are the data extension limits for Marketing Cloud? There is currently no limit for the amount of rows that can exist within a Data Extension. This means that, without Row Based Data Retention, a Data extension can grow exponentially without any real upper limit. What is a list in Marketing Cloud? Lists are a default way of storing data in Marketing Cloud Email Studio. You can set different attributes for your customers by using lists, which represent a collection of customers and provide a simple method for audience segmentation. These attributes are used to store the position of the customer in a given list. List can be configured to send a welcome email when a subscriber opts in, and can have double opt-in. You will also hear groups mentioned. Groups are smaller segments of a list. When to Opt for Marketing Cloud Data Extensions There are two primary scenarios that distinctly indicate the need for utilizing a data extension rather than a list: Fluctuating Values Over Time: Data Relationship via a 3rd Data Point: Like Related Posts Salesforce OEM AppExchange Expanding its reach beyond CRM, Salesforce.com has launched a new service called AppExchange OEM Edition, aimed at non-CRM service providers.

Salesforce Duplicate Checker
08Jan

Duplicate Checker Salesforce

What is a duplicate checker in Salesforce? Salesforce finds and handles duplicates using a combination of matching rules and duplicate rules. Duplicate rules and duplicate jobs specify matching rules that determine how duplicates are identified. Duplicate sets and reports list the duplicates found. Some tools for checking and catching duplicate Salesforce records include: Duplicate Check is a fully on-platform duplicate management tool for Salesforce, empowering users to manage their data and sieve out duplicate records with unparalleled ease. While incredibly complex in its logic, it’s also bewilderingly simple to set up and use – you don’t even need an Admin to set it up! The Matching Method allows you to configure the kind of match the field values are required to have before they’re considered a match. An exact match means the two fields must be identical, character for character. A Fuzzy match means the field values need to be similar – not identical, but close. One way is to use the Duplicate Management feature in Salesforce. This feature can be found in the Setup menu under Data Management. Duplicate Management can be used to find and merge duplicate records. Another way to find duplicate records is to use the Salesforce Data Export Service. This is just a drop in the bucket.  When selecting a duplicate record management tool, look at your specific business needs. How do I prevent duplicates in Salesforce? Block sales reps from creating duplicate leads. In the Standard Lead Duplicate Rule, select Block instead of Allow. With the Standard Lead Duplicate Rule set to block duplicates, a rep can click to view duplicates of leads but can’t save a new lead. If you are looking at a duplicate checker solution as a part of a Salesforce implementation, reach out to Tectonic today. Content updated June 2023.

Journey Builder or Automation Studio

Both Journey Builder and Automation Studio are robust tools available to Marketing Cloud customers. However, determining when to use each one and how they complement each other can sometimes be confusing. Automation Studio primarily focuses on ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes in marketing automation. It enables marketers to integrate data from various systems and automate tasks for segmentation and email campaign deployment. With Automation Studio, marketers can create highly advanced automated segmentation using data filters and queries, making it ideal for repetitive processes. It also allows users to execute SQL queries to retrieve and store data extension information. On the other hand, Journey Builder is a user-friendly, drag-and-drop tool designed for creating personalized, engagement-based customer journeys. It facilitates individualized, multi-channel communications at scale and provides goal and success measurements for monitoring and management. Unlike Automation, Journey Builder offers more opportunities for testing strategies and optimizing messages based on real-time engagement and interaction. One key difference between the two tools is that Journey Builder offers built-in goal reporting, providing real-time insights into campaign performance and customer engagement. Another distinction is that while Automation Studio relies on batch processing, Journey Builder allows individuals to enter journeys on an individual level, enabling real-time monitoring and action based on customer behavior. To decide which tool to use, consider the following questions: In many cases, it’s not a matter of choosing between Journey Builder vs Automation Studio but rather leveraging both tools together. By combining the powerful segmentation capabilities of Automation Studio with the personalized journey creation features of Journey Builder, marketers can deliver highly targeted and personalized messaging to their customers. Automation Studio is best for complex segmentation at scale, while Journey Builder guides customers through customized journeys based on Marketing Cloud data. Ultimately, using both tools together allows marketers to create seamless, personalized experiences for their customers.

Digital BSS for Telecom Profits

Digital Business Support Systems (BSS) play a critical role in managing essential functions such as billing, rating and charging, customer experience, CRM, fulfillment, and revenue management within communications service providers (CSPs). However, the scope of a comprehensive digital BSS stack extends beyond these core functionalities to enable, monetize, and manage new digital services and partnerships. This transformation is particularly crucial for CSPs transitioning into digital service providers (DSPs), especially in anticipation of the 5G era. Let’s delve into how a robust digital BSS transformation solution can drive profitability. Anticipating Customer Churn Telecom companies can leverage advanced analytics across BSS, OSS, CRM, and other systems to extract actionable insights from customer usage, transactions, complaints, billing, and social media data. Predictive modeling identifies potential churners, enabling targeted offers, promotions, and services aimed at retaining and nurturing loyal customers.

Innovating Service Offerings Cloud-based services are increasingly popular among consumers and businesses. A robust BSS solution allows operators to seamlessly integrate these services with traditional offerings, fostering innovation and boosting ARPU. Driving Agility and Efficiency A cloud-based BSS solution enhances business agility to support emerging technologies such as IoT and M2M systems. It streamlines partnership management and product launches in complex market landscapes, enabling providers to swiftly seize new opportunities. Retaining Profitable Customers Customer acquisition costs highlight the importance of retaining profitable customers. Integrated BSS and OSS applications provide telecom companies with comprehensive insights into customer behavior, facilitating convergent billing, tiered pricing models, and targeted incentives that enhance customer loyalty and lifetime value. Boosting Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) Telecom companies strive to increase ARPU by introducing compelling new services. Integration of customer-facing BSS systems with service delivery mechanisms accelerates provisioning and enables the launch of innovative offerings that drive revenue growth. In conclusion, a modernized and robust BSS infrastructure is indispensable for telecom companies looking to differentiate their services, elevate customer experiences, and capitalize on evolving market dynamics. By harnessing advanced analytics, embracing cloud-based solutions, and integrating diverse systems, telcos can unlock growth opportunities and enhance profitability in a competitive marketplace.

Salesforce Acquires Slack

The buzz surrounding the Salesforce Acquires Slack announcement has been ongoing, culminating in the official approval on December 1, 2020, with Salesforce, a leading CRM entity, acquiring Slack for a substantial $27.7 billion. Salesforce’s CEO, Marc Benioff, hailed the acquisition as a ‘match made in heaven,’ and this sentiment resonates widely. While Salesforce had previously ventured into the collaboration space with Chatter, Community Cloud, and Quip, the results weren’t as impactful as desired. However, the incorporation of applications and data integration through Mulesoft and business intelligence via Tableau bolstered Salesforce’s toolkit. The addition of Slack solidifies Salesforce’s entry into the communication and collaboration domain. This acquisition signals a transformative shift in the digital work landscape, particularly for digital natives. It signifies a strategic move by Salesforce to enhance its focus on customer-facing tools and delve into the employee engagement market. The collaboration with Slack positions Salesforce to address the market dynamics more effectively. The integration of Salesforce’s CRM capabilities with Slack’s platform, which unites people, data, and tools for seamless collaboration, is poised to reshape the market. Slack’s open platform, with integration capabilities spanning 2400 apps, positions Salesforce to tap into a broad user base. The collaboration will contribute revenue and data to fuel Salesforce’s AI projects, amplifying its capabilities. The impact on Microsoft is noteworthy, as Slack becomes a formidable competitor to Microsoft’s Teams. This intensifies the competition in the cloud services arena, particularly amid the accelerated shift towards remote work. For users, the amalgamation of Salesforce and Slack promises to create a new ‘operating system’ for businesses navigating the digital landscape. This unified platform aims to simplify organizational workflows, connecting employees, customers, and partners seamlessly. Key implications for users include the ability to: Salesforce’s plan to integrate Slack with its Customer 360 software and designate Slack as its new interface underscores its commitment to revolutionizing communication, collaboration, and action on customer information. The user benefits extend to facilitating conversations among sales teams, customers, and playing a pivotal role in customer service. The recent introduction of Slack Connect, enabling communication and collaboration with external partners, further expands Slack’s utility. Salesforce’s extensive enterprise app ecosystem combined with Slack’s capabilities sets the stage for a robust open ecosystem of apps and workflows. This collaborative environment empowers developers to innovate and create applications that align with customer preferences. While Salesforce envisions future revenue and growth through the integration of Slack, the operational intricacies of this merger may pose challenges. Salesforce’s past strategies suggest an initial hands-off approach, allowing Slack to operate independently. This acquisition marks the initial steps toward reshaping how we work, collaborate, and automate workflows and business processes in the cloud. Content updated December 2023.
