Unified Knowledge for Service Agents

Unified Knowledge for Service Agents

Salesforce has introduced a new intelligence source for service agents called Unified Knowledge. This solution aggregates information from third-party sources and integrates it into Salesforce, enhancing the customer data available in Data Cloud. Unified Knowledge Overview Enhanced Service with Unified Knowledge Unified Knowledge aggregates data from sources like SharePoint, Confluence, Google Drive, and brand websites, making it accessible within Salesforce Service Cloud. While Service Cloud has primarily utilized data from Data Cloud via Einstein for Service to assist service agents, Unified Knowledge expands this by including additional third-party information. Broader Integration Across Salesforce Although Service Cloud is a primary focus, Unified Knowledge will also integrate with Salesforce Field Service, Sales Cloud, Health Cloud, and Financial Services Cloud. This solution was developed in partnership with Zoomin Software. Technical Approach and Future Plans The initial version of Unified Knowledge does not utilize Data Cloud. Instead, it stores third-party knowledge in the KnowledgeArticle object on Core and uses Zoomin for integration. Salesforce plans to eventually transition this solution to Data Cloud for both storage and integration. This transition involves multiple dependencies and significant refactoring of the Knowledge product. For now, the current approach allows for quicker market entry. Once moved to Data Cloud, customers will need Data Cloud credits to use Unified Knowledge. Response by email from Salesforce: “The beta version of Unified Knowledge does not leverage Data Cloud. The third-party Knowledge is stored on Core in the KnowledgeArticle object, and Salesforce uses ZoomIn to integrate with third-party systems. Salesforce’s long-term vision is to move to Data Cloud — initially for the storage of third-party knowledge, and eventually for the connector/integration piece as well. This involves multiple dependencies on Data Cloud however and significant refactoring of the Knowledge product, so in order to get this solution to market more quickly, this initial version is built on Core. Once we move Unified Knowledge to Data Cloud, customers will have to purchase Data Cloud credits to use the product.” Benefits and Features of Unified Knowledge Unified Knowledge enhances the information available to service agents, potentially leading to better service experiences. Its generative AI capabilities include: By expanding the data available to service agents, Unified Knowledge aims to improve service quality and efficiency.

Tracking Money Flows with Data Cloud

In the digital era, banks face a significant challenge: obtaining a clear, reliable, and accurate understanding of their customers amidst a vast amount of fragmented data spread across different systems. Tracking Money Flows with Data Cloud. Despite the abundance of data, it often fails to provide a complete or accurate narrative. Simple questions like “Did a customer’s funds remain within the bank or exit entirely?” can be surprisingly challenging to answer due to this fragmented data. This disjointed view of customer behavior obstructs banks from leveraging valuable data to make informed decisions and enhance client engagement. Data Cloud and Data Strategy The solution lies not just in the data itself but in developing a robust strategy to consolidate customer data and make it actionable. By breaking down data silos and constructing comprehensive customer profiles, banks can unlock the true potential of their information. This leads to a deeper comprehension of their clients, enabling them to make intelligent decisions that drive engagement, predict customer needs, and manage attrition risks effectively. In today’s intricate economic landscape, this data-driven approach isn’t merely advantageous—it’s essential for banks to stay competitive and achieve sustained success. Tracking Money and Money Flows with Data Cloud Consider the case of William to illustrate the impact of data analytics. William, a sophisticated investor, continuously shifted his funds seeking the best returns. This presented a challenge for his bank, whose legacy systems were ill-equipped to track his dynamic financial activities effectively. The bank’s inability to follow William’s money hindered marketing and attrition management efforts. They needed to understand if funds were truly leaving the institution or just relocating within its ecosystem. The introduction of Data Cloud transformed the bank’s capabilities. By consolidating disparate data sources, they gained real-time insights into William’s financial activities, allowing them to understand his relationship with the bank better and make more reliable attrition predictions. Armed with this knowledge, the bank personalized their approach to William, showcasing tailored offerings aligned with his financial objectives. This personalized engagement transformed their relationship from transactional to collaborative, reducing attrition risk and maximizing mutual benefit. William’s case became a model for the bank, demonstrating the power of unifying data silos to understand customers’ financial behavior comprehensively. In today’s financial environment, overcoming fragmented data is paramount. Data Cloud offers a winning solution: Harnessing the abundance of data is crucial. By leveraging tools like Data Cloud, banks can unravel the mysteries of customer behavior and optimize their operations effectively.

Loan Origination Salesforce

Loan Origination Salesforce

Salesforce Loan Origination: Unlocking Efficiency and Growth Implementing a CRM is a deal-changing decision for any retail mortgage brokerage. In a digital landscape dominated by loan origination platforms like Ellie Mae Encompass, Nortridge, Calyx, and Fiserv, staying lean and nimble is crucial. Understanding how to leverage Salesforce with your loan origination system (LOS) lays the groundwork for a streamlined future, empowering clients, partners, and employees. The suite of productivity and marketing tools Salesforce offers is key to your organization’s success. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and skilled architects with the right tools made it possible. Let’s explore the benefits of Salesforce in loan origination. Enhancing Prospecting, Referrals, and Marketing Once you’ve built an efficient loan origination machine, it’s time to fuel it. Salesforce integrates seamlessly with referral and channel partners like Bankrate, Zillow, and Realtor.com, feeding prospects directly into your marketing and loan origination funnel. Using tools like Web to Lead or Salesforce’s robust web service APIs, prospects can flow into your CRM in real time. Partner Communities can create portals for third parties to refer and manage their pipelines. Salesforce Marketing Cloud automates journeys, showcasing your company’s value and maintaining constant contact. Qualify prospects effectively by running their credit before they hit your LOS, reducing noise and understanding the quality each lead source brings. This maximizes marketing dollars and focuses efforts where they matter most. Streamlining the Sales Funnel Capturing leads is just the beginning. The real challenge is keeping them and ensuring they choose your business. Salesforce helps visualize your pipeline and accelerates the process with reminders, tasks, texts, emails, calls, and other automation tools. Einstein Analytics and AI provide insights into the most effective strategies, calculate close rates, and help forecast revenue streams accurately. Stay nimble. Not all prospects are tech-savvy, but you can use technology to enhance communication with them. Empowering Loan Officers Mortgage companies often aim to improve customer experience with new systems. However, empowering loan officers and ensuring their satisfaction is equally critical. Salesforce provides loan officers with a 360-degree view of their prospects, enabling them to pull client credit from mobile devices and drastically improve productivity and close rates. Salesforce Mobile places the entire origination process at their fingertips, anywhere and anytime. Integrations with web analytics offer insights into prospect behavior, allowing tailored conversations. A CRM that consolidates contact history creates a powerful ally, ensuring personalized experiences. Integrating Systems with Tectonic Integrating a loan origination system like CalyxPoint, Fiserv, or Ellie Mae Encompass can be daunting. Clients often rush to modernize, but the key is to take it step by step. Define a moment when the loan flows from Salesforce to the LOS, typically once a prospect is qualified. Updates, such as loan milestones and underwriting requests, can flow back into Salesforce, while changes to the loan document itself should occur in the LOS. Gradually progress towards a synchronized, bi-directional state to ensure success and buy-in. Leveraging Customer and Referral Portals Salesforce Customer Community: A drag-and-drop customer portal can sit on top of real-time data, understanding each customer’s loan lifecycle stage and dynamically adapting to drive desired behaviors. Use it to solicit additional documents or update loan statuses as they progress through milestones. Salesforce Partner Community: Real estate agents, insurance companies, and law firms are vital to a mortgage company’s referral system. Salesforce Partner Communities offer a portal to share relevant information with partners, creating a boutique experience that enhances referrals. Building Lifelong Client Relationships A fully funded loan is not the end; it’s the beginning of a new journey. The referral and refinancing process starts as soon as the origination process ends. Maintaining regular contact and demonstrating partnership should be core values for any mortgage company. Taking out a mortgage is one of the largest financial decisions most people make, and positive experiences can have a lasting impact. Leveraging Salesforce CRM and Marketing Cloud journeys helps keep relationships alive, ensuring a steady pipeline for years to come. Always remember the importance of first impressions and the long-term value of satisfied clients and partners.

Einstein 1 is Coming

Einstein 1 is Coming

What Does the New Einstein 1 Data Cloud Mean for Your Organization? Einstein 1 is Coming One of the major announcements at Dreamforce was the exciting intro that Einstein 1 is Coming. The Einstein 1 Data Cloud is now natively integrated with the Einstein 1 Platform. This integration allows users to connect any data, create unified customer profiles, and enhance every customer experience with AI, automation, and analytics. This is a giant step for Salesforce-kind. It can revolutionize the ways businesses engage with their customers. While this announcement is exciting, what does it mean for organizations at different stages of their Salesforce journey? In this insight, we explore the announcement details, considerations for using the Einstein 1 Data Cloud in your company, and how Tectonic can assist in navigating this new offering. What’s New with the Platform? The integration of Salesforce Data Cloud and Einstein AI into the Einstein 1 Platform marks a significant enhancement. The platform integration enables companies to securely connect any data, build AI-powered apps with low code, and deliver superior CRM experiences. It unifies data across the enterprise by mapping it to Salesforce’s underlying metadata framework, regardless of how the data is structured in disparate systems. Regardless of how complex it is. What is Einstein 1 Data Cloud? The Key to Unified Data Salesforce Einstein 1 Data Cloud unifies customer data, enterprise content, telemetry data, Slack conversations, and other structured and unstructured data to create a single view of the customer. This integration unlocks otherwise siloed data and scales operations in new ways: Salesforce has announced that Enterprise Edition and above customers can use Data Cloud at no additional cost. However, organizations should consider their position on the Salesforce maturity curve before implementation. Data Cloud’s capabilities, while extensive, might not fully optimize data for organizations further along in their Salesforce journey without a thorough trial. What is the Einstein Conversational Assistant? An AI-Powered Shift Einstein now includes a generative AI-powered conversational assistant featuring Einstein Copilot and Einstein Copilot Studio. These tools operate within the Einstein Trust Layer, a secure AI architecture native to the Einstein 1 Platform that ensures data privacy and security. Why Should Organizations Consider Einstein 1? Customer data is often fragmented and siloed across disparate systems, preventing a unified view necessary for informed business decision-making. Data unification is essential for data-driven decision making and fully getting the full ROI of AI. AI is a major trend in technology, but effective AI requires comprehensive, aligned data. Without a unified data foundation, AI’s potential is limited. Einstein 1 with Data Cloud provides the solution by consolidating data, enabling the training of AI models to make optimal decisions and recommendations. How Can Tectonic Help You Transition? Tectonic brings extensive Salesforce expertise and industry-specific experience in sectors heavily reliant on data, such as healthcare, financial services, and travel and tourism. These industries face strict data regulations and often have siloed data in legacy systems. Einstein 1 helps organizations achieve a 360-degree view of their customers by unifying data. Tectonic can assist in maximizing AI on the Salesforce platform by building a robust data foundation and providing a roadmap for future scalability. While both Einstein 1 and AI Cloud are Salesforce terms that promise AI-driven capabilities, there are differences to consider. Einstein 1 Platform is a comprehensive suite that includes Data Cloud, AI tools, and automation capabilities. In contrast, AI Cloud is more of an overarching term that might encompass Einstein 1 as part of its suite, focusing on the broader application of AI across Salesforce’s entire range of products and services. Understanding these distinctions is critical in identifying which solution aligns with your organizational needs.

Scale Data and Analytics in the Cloud

Winning in the Data Economy In the rapidly growing data economy, enterprises are eager to gain a competitive edge. This data economy, which revolves around the global supply and demand for data and data-driven applications, continues to expand as more organizations seek critical insights to drive their success. Scale Data and Analytics in the Cloud. The value of data isn’t a new concept. Companies acquired other companies for the sole purpose of obtaining their data – customers, prospects, etc. The value of actionable data is a bit newer. Whereas we once marketed to prospects based primarily on historical data, data-driven applications let us market at the right time on the right channel with the right message. To understand what it takes to excel in the new data economy, Tableau partner Snowflake surveyed business and technology leaders. Their research highlighted the characteristics of the leaders and laggards, emphasizing the importance of a strong data strategy for achieving successful outcomes. Industries like financial services, health and life sciences, and retail are still struggling to fully benefit from the data economy, often finding it challenging to unlock the full value of their data. Here are four key actions that can help organizations win in today’s data economy and achieve tangible results: 1. Create a Strong Data Culture A robust data culture is foundational for realizing the value of data. Organizations that prioritize becoming data-driven see significant benefits: Jennifer Belissent, Principal Data Strategist at Snowflake, emphasizes how a cloud-enabled data culture accelerates time-to-value by breaking down organizational silos. Tableau offers a playbook to help organizations build, expand, and mature their data capabilities. 2. Adopt an AI-Driven, Enterprise-Ready Analytics Platform Data leaders utilize AI-driven enterprise analytics platforms like Tableau, which provide trusted predictions and insights to scale decision-making. Traditional solutions often fall short in delivering speed to insight and self-service capabilities. Tableau, particularly with Tableau Cloud, offers an easy-to-scale solution that manages and analyzes data across various sources, supporting meaningful impact and agility. Tableau Cloud’s Advanced Management capabilities enhance security, usability, and scalability. Additionally, Tableau Accelerators—over 100 ready-to-use, in-product dashboard starters—support various industries, enabling comprehensive analysis and problem-solving. 3. Migrate to the Cloud Cloud adoption is accelerating as organizations pursue data-driven digital transformations. The cloud offers flexibility, agility, scalability, reduced IT overhead, and increased resilience and performance. Key considerations for cloud migration include: Whether opting for on-premise, hybrid, or full cloud migration, Tableau connects to data wherever it resides, fueling insights across the business. Tableau’s own journey to the cloud involved evaluating criteria, enhancing collaboration, and applying new data management processes, resulting in a unified source of truth. 4. Choose the Right Partners to Scale Cloud-Native Analytics Selecting partners that facilitate cloud-native analytics is crucial. Ideal partners should offer: Snowflake and Tableau exemplify these qualities, addressing data and organizational demands. Snowflake provides extensive data storage and processing, while Tableau offers intuitive, self-service analytics. This partnership has helped enterprises like Cart.com achieve significant revenue growth by embedding Tableau analytics in Snowflake’s platform. Embrace the Data Economy with Cloud-Native Analytics Regardless of where your organization stands in the data economy, taking steps to leverage cloud-native analytics can unlock numerous opportunities. Tableau continues to invest in its platform to help organizations thrive with data in the cloud, offering expert advice, solutions, and valuable partnerships. By adopting these strategies, your organization can become a leader in the data economy and achieve remarkable results.
