Salesforce Unites Einstein Analytics with Financial CRM

Salesforce has unveiled a comprehensive analytics solution tailored for wealth managers, home office professionals, and retail bankers, merging its Financial Services Cloud with Einstein Analytics. This amalgamation, known as Einstein Analytics for Financial Services, harnesses Salesforce’s robust query engine and interpretation layers, fueled by the enterprise data analytics prowess acquired through BeyondCore in 2016. Salesforce Unites Einstein Analytics with Financial CRM This integrated platform – Salesforce Unites Einstein Analytics with Financial CRM – offers two prebuilt analytical models, meticulously designed to gauge client churn (identifying clients at risk of leaving) and the potential for clients to bring additional assets to a firm. These models, while prepackaged, can be tailored to specific needs, providing insights into future scenarios within the firm. Advisors can leverage these models to assess client characteristics against firm-wide benchmarks and receive actionable suggestions to enhance client retention. Home office professionals and data scientists have the option to delve into the underlying mathematical frameworks of these models, allowing for customization if required. While the tool offers enterprise-level benchmarking, firms can incorporate their own industry-specific data to run the models, ensuring tailored insights. This initiative builds upon previous endeavors integrating machine learning into Financial Services Cloud, which aimed to identify crucial life events and offer actionable recommendations. The decision to develop a more holistic solution stemmed from observing customer behavior and the growing trend of custom dashboard creation. By streamlining and prepackaging these insights, Salesforce aims to accelerate adoption and empower users to focus on their core tasks. Although customization remains a key feature, the platform aims to simplify adoption by providing templated solutions. However, the efficacy of insights depends on the quality of the ingested data, emphasizing the importance of data aggregation and normalization. Future updates are expected to introduce additional machine learning models focused on reducing heldaway assets and increasing assets under management. Developed in collaboration with diverse stakeholders, ranging from enterprise financial advisors to firms of varying sizes, the service is priced at $150 per user per month. It’s not a standalone product and requires integration with Financial Services Cloud or Einstein Analytics Plus.

Action Plans in Partner Communities

Action Plans in Partner Communities

Establishing Action Plans in Partner Communities What is a community action plan? A Community Action Plan serves as a vital document for prioritizing community needs, outlining a set of activities, and aiding Local and State governments in understanding community requirements. What is the Salesforce Partner Community? The Salesforce Partner Community is a dedicated portal designed and maintained exclusively for Salesforce partners. It serves as a platform for partners to manage their business activities, gain insights into best practices, and interact with Salesforce employees within a secure environment. Enable action plan features in your partner communities by providing action plan templates and plans. Customize community home and record detail pages while creating and assigning user profiles for partner community users.

What is the most important component of an action plan? Action plans primarily encompass “what,” “who,” and “when.” They delineate the action steps (“what”) required to achieve goals, designate responsible individuals (“who”), and set projected completion dates (“when”). Crucially, action plans elucidate the “why” behind program goals. Supported Salesforce Objects Action plan templates (and subsequent action plans) can be created for various objects based on Salesforce configuration and available licenses.

Health Cloud Brings Healthcare Transformation

Health Cloud Brings Healthcare Transformation

Following swiftly after last week’s successful launch of Financial Services Cloud, Salesforce has announced the second installment in its series of industry clouds: Salesforce Health Cloud. This new cloud CRM offering aims to become a catalyst for positive change in the healthcare industry, shifting focus from traditional critical care to a more holistic patient-centric approach. Salesforce identifies a gap in existing systems, which are heavily centered around electronic medical record (EMR) systems designed primarily for billing rather than comprehensive patient care. Health Cloud Brings Healthcare Transformation by bringing a patient-focused tool kit to medical care. Industry Transformation The healthcare sector is reorienting itself around health outcomes rather than billing outcomes. Joshua Newman, a former primary care doctor and current Chief Medical Officer and General Manager of Salesforce Health Care and Life Sciences, elaborated on this transformation in a recent blog post: “Because of the Affordable Care Act and new outcome-based reimbursements, healthcare providers are treating patients like customers for the first time. This shift is beneficial for patients as it places patient relationships — not records or revenue-cycle management systems — at the center of care delivery.” This shift is echoed by industry leaders like Jeroen Tas, CEO of Philips Healthcare Informatics Solutions and Services, who described the transformation in healthcare as connecting previously unlinked data to make it actionable and improve patient outcomes. Key Components of Salesforce Health Cloud Set to be available from February 2016, Salesforce Health Cloud is built on the Salesforce Service Cloud platform and includes: How Health Cloud Brings Healthcare Transformation Building on Experience Health Cloud benefits from having a qualified physician at the helm, enhancing its industry relevance. Salesforce has leveraged the experience of long-term health customers such as Centura Health, DJO Global, Radboud University Medical Center, and the University of California, San Francisco, in designing the solution. Exploiting Scale Salesforce is targeting its industry cloud solutions at volume market opportunities, aiming for solutions that both clinicians and patients can interact with. This aligns with the broader strategy outlined in the Financial Services Cloud launch. Working with Partners Pre-built integrations into EMR and other data sources are key components of the Healthcare Cloud, facilitated by ecosystem integration partners Mulesoft and Persistent Systems. Philips provides connectivity to medical devices and applications leveraging its HealthSuite digital platform. Integration partners are delivering services for implementation, connectivity, and content management. Showcasing the Platform Salesforce is emphasizing the proactive approach to healthcare demanded by a new generation of ‘digital native’ consumers. Research indicates that 71% of millennials want doctors to provide a mobile app for health management, and 63% are interested in sharing data from wearables with their doctors. However, getting healthcare professionals to adopt new technologies like Chatter is a significant step forward, as noted by Newman. Health Cloud Brings Healthcare Transformation The rapid succession of industry cloud announcements from Salesforce suggests that the public sector and life sciences clouds might also debut before Dreamforce, which starts in two weeks. Both the Health Cloud and Financial Services Cloud signify Salesforce’s commitment to driving substantial transformations in their respective industries. These initiatives represent big bets on radical change rather than incremental improvements, positioning Salesforce as a key player in the ongoing evolution of industry-specific cloud solutions. Learning that your industry is targeted by a Salesforce industry cloud can be likened to the traditional Chinese curse of living in interesting times, signaling impending significant changes.
