Salesforce Brings More Automation, Other Upgrades to Customer 360

Ahead of its Dreamforce event next week, Salesforce is talking up enhancements to its Customer 360 platform.

“In times of uncertainty, it’s critical for companies to focus on greater intelligence and efficiency while staying flexible and resilient to external pressures and changes in customer expectations,” said Schmaier. “With Salesforce Customer 360, businesses can automate to save time and money so they can spend their valuable resources on what matters: driving intelligent and personalized customer and employee experiences.”

Customer 360, of course, is not a new platform. But Salesforce has beefed up the software with a variety of capabilities. Sales teams, contact centers, marketing professionals, retailers, government workers and more benefit from the advancements.

Salesforce channel partners will want to understand the enhancements to better guide clients. As Salesforce itself noted, its partner ecosystem is “equipped to implement these solutions tailored to individual business needs, enabling automated and intelligent interactions that enhance the overall customer experience.”
