Salesforce and Google Cloud have announced an expanded strategic partnership to leverage AI, data, and customer relationship management (CRM) to drive better customer experiences. The partnership introduces enhanced data sharing between Salesforce Data Cloud and Google BigQuery, as well as integrations between Salesforce Data Cloud and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI.
Integrating Salesforce Data Cloud and BigQuery allows companies to create unified customer profiles and provide personalized experiences. It eliminates the need for data movement while ensuring governance and trust, enabling seamless data access across platforms and clouds.
Integrating Salesforce Data Cloud and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI enables businesses to bring their own AI models from Vertex and utilize them across the Salesforce Platform. This streamlines the model development process and enhances the accuracy and efficiency of AI predictions and insights.
Companies can now utilize data and AI to deliver more personalized customer experiences, gain better insights into customer behavior, and run more effective campaigns across marketing, sales, service, and Commerce.
The partnership builds upon Salesforce and Google Cloud’s previous strategic collaboration, initiated in 2017. The new integrations are expected to be available for pilot testing and general availability in the coming years, starting in mid-2023.
By combining the power of Salesforce’s Data Cloud and Google Cloud’s BigQuery and Vertex AI, industries can enhance the customer experience and personalize interactions. For instance, a fashion retailer can utilize CRM data and non-CRM data to deploy custom AI models that predict customers’ likelihood to purchase specific types of clothing, enabling hyper-personalized recommendations.
The Salesforce and Google Cloud partnership aims to solve the challenge of accessing and understanding complex data, empowering companies to harness their data to drive better customer experiences.
Overall, these innovations in generative AI and strategic partnerships can transform how companies connect with their customers and unlock new levels of productivity and personalization. With Marketing GPT and Commerce GPT, businesses can harness the power of AI and data to create meaningful customer interactions and enhance their overall success.
