Salesforce Industry Trends, Updates, and Tips to keep you in the know.
Salesforce data plays a central role in driving customer experience, operational continuity, and regulatory compliance. Yet managing that data – across backup, analytics, development environments, and long-term storage – often requires a patchwork of tools or outsourcing to vendor-managed platforms.
In the tech world, acquisitions often shake up the landscape, bringing together complementary strengths and capabilities. One such recent acquisition that has raised eyebrows is Salesforce’s now-stalled acquisition of Informatica. Salesforce’s attempted move to acquire the AI-powered data integration and ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) giant signifies Salesforce’s ambition to bolster its data integration capabilities. It also sheds light on the existing challenges in Salesforce’s ETL and reverse ETL capabilities.
Salesforce has become an essential customer relationship management (CRM) platform for businesses, aiding them in establishing strong connections with their customers. However, due to the large amount of data stored in Salesforce, it is crucial to ensure its security and integrity.
