Salesforce, the global leader in CRM, announced new innovations across Digital 360, helping companies go digital faster.
As consumers continue to push the limits of what it means to be digital first — from buying cars and groceries online to applying for mortgages on their phones — businesses’ marketing budget is following suit, with online sales reaching over $4 trillion and digital expected to hit half of all global ad spend this year.
Salesforce is helping companies stay ahead of these shifts, powering an average of more than 100 billion Einstein predictions, sending 682 billion emails and delivering a daily average of three million commerce transactions in 2020.
New technologies from Salesforce combine data and digital to make this possible — bringing together marketing, commerce, sales and service, so companies can put customers at the center of their digital strategy.
“Being digital first and customer centric has never been more important,” said David Schmaier, President and Chief Product Officer, Salesforce. “With Digital 360, companies have the full power of Salesforce to go digital faster, build a single view of their customers, and drive growth.”
