Salesforce Data Cloud Free Edition

Let Tectonic clarify a misconception circulating in the Salesforce community regarding the Salesforce Data Cloud Free Edition. As you may recall, Salesforce unveiled at Dreamforce 2023 that a Data Cloud edition would be accessible at no charge to clients using Sales and Service Cloud Enterprise Edition. This announcement was also reiterated in Salesforce’s February 2024 press release focusing on Marketing Cloud Growth Edition. (Queue the voice in the commercial “some restrictions may apply”.) To dispel any confusion, it’s essential to emphasize there is potential benefit from this offer, but you still require Sales or Service Enterprise Edition. Merely having Marketing Cloud or Account Engagement does not make you eligible. Salesforce Data Cloud Free Edition Considerations For Sales and Service Enterprise Edition Customers wondering about the no-cost Data Cloud offer, the next steps require careful consideration. While the prospect of getting an account provisioned might be exciting, preparation is key. Data Cloud holds the potential to revolutionize your organization, making a well-crafted plan, strategy, and vision imperative. These elements form the basis and foundation of effective change management. Without a comprehensive plan, vision, consensus, and understanding, embarking on Data Cloud implementation could lead to various challenges: Drawing from our experience, diving into Data Cloud without a clear plan often results in these issues. However, before formulating a plan, it’s vital to assess your organization’s readiness based on several key criteria. These factors impact the feasibility of implementing Data Cloud: Data Cloud Readiness Criteria: Respectfully, while the prospect of a no-cost Data Cloud offer is exciting, careful preparation, assessment, and strategic planning are crucial for ensuring a successful and transformative implementation within your organization. Otherwise, it becomes just another unused tool in your martech stack.

Salesforce Data Cloud vs Salesforce CDP

Salesforce Genie, hailed as the most significant innovation in Salesforce’s history, has morphed into Salesforce Data Cloud. Operating on a grand scale, Data Cloud seamlessly processes and stores real-time data streams, integrating them with Salesforce data to unlock highly personalized customer experiences. Salesforce Data Cloud vs Salesforce CDP – which one is for me? You might wonder if this aligns with what Data Cloud (formerly Salesforce CDP) accomplishes—unifying versions of individuals across applications and providing customer experiences based on diverse data sources. To clarify, while Data Cloud shares similar goals and benefits with CDP, it represents an evolution beyond the technology of the former Salesforce CDP. In the words of Eric Stahl, EVP Marketing at Salesforce, “With [Data Cloud], we moved the real-time data capabilities into the [Salesforce] platform so we can ingest, manage and activate data from anywhere. It’s also nested with Einstein for AI and Flow for automation.” Data Cloud vs. Salesforce CDP: Key Differences Data Cloud inherits the capabilities of Salesforce CDP but extends its benefits across the entire “Customer 360,” covering Salesforce’s product portfolio. Here are key differences: Data Cloud, the successor to Salesforce CDP, extends beyond traditional CDP definitions. With a focus on diverse use cases beyond marketing and a zero-data copy architecture, Data Cloud stands as one of Salesforce’s most promising products. While Data Cloud shares purposes and benefits with CDPs, it represents a new era in Salesforce’s commitment to customer data unification, activation, and insight generation. Salesforce CDP remains available and operational, providing users with distinct options tailored to their specific needs.

Salesforce and LiveRamp Integration

Salesforce Marketing Cloud empowers you to maximize every customer interaction by providing tools to manage the customer journey across all channels. With Salesforce’s Customer Data Platform (CDP), you get a comprehensive view of each customer through unified profiles. This platform integrates data from the world’s #1 CRM, creating a single source of truth. Salesforce and LiveRamp Integration. Partnership with LiveRamp Salesforce Customer Data Platform users can leverage LiveRamp’s Distribution application to deliver their customer audiences to LiveRamp. This enables the orchestration of targeted, people-based advertising campaigns powered by RampID across 500+ publishers, including walled garden platforms. A walled garden platform, also known as a closed ecosystem or closed platform, is a software system that restricts access to content, applications, and media. The provider of the platform has complete control over what is shared, and users can only access what the provider allows. Walled gardens are often used in the marketing and tech industries, and can be used to improve cybersecurity by isolating users from external threats. Benefits for LiveRamp Customers: Key Features: Earlier this week, Dreamforce 2022 returned to San Francisco, where Salesforce introduced its new real-time data platform, Genie. LiveRamp was highlighted as a key partner in Genie’s launch, playing a crucial role in delivering highly personalized customer experiences by enriching and activating data across the advertising ecosystem. Salesforce users can now access LiveRamp technology through the LiveRamp Distribution App, available on the AppExchange. Marketers utilize platforms like Genie as their single source of truth to drive personalization. LiveRamp Distribution equips Salesforce customers with tools to build more accurate audiences powered by RampID, a people-based identifier. This integration allows direct access to over 500 platforms and partners for activation, enabling impactful, personalized, and relevant marketing programs across the ecosystem. All activations through LiveRamp ensure privacy by avoiding the sharing of hashed or raw directly identifiable personal data with any activation platform. “Customer data platforms are transforming the advertising ecosystem to be more customer-first. By providing a single, real-time view of the customer and centralizing customer knowledge, Salesforce Genie delivers unparalleled consistency and effectiveness across all customer touchpoints throughout the media ecosystem,” said Travis Clinger, SVP of Activations and Addressability, LiveRamp. According to Salesforce’s Fifth Edition of the State of the Connected Consumer report, 62% of respondents expect companies to anticipate their needs. However, data fragmentation across the ecosystem hinders this personalized customer experience. Brands require advanced segmentation and activation capabilities to successfully engage customers with the right message at the right moment on the right channel. Our partnership empowers marketers to take more control over their data, offering capabilities such as: Supporting CDPs with Activation To remain competitive and grow, businesses must find innovative ways to engage their customers and deliver personalized, relevant messages through preferred channels. The powerful combination of platforms like Genie and LiveRamp enables the transformation of personalized experiences and enhances the reach and accuracy of marketing programs while respecting consumer privacy.
