Salesforce Data 360
Trusted Data, Anytime, Anywhere, Ready for Salesforce AI
What Is Data 360?
Data 360 is commonly used as a search term for Salesforce Data 360, the data platform formerly known as Salesforce Data Cloud. It helps businesses bring customer, operational, product, service, and engagement data into one usable foundation without forcing every dataset to be copied into Salesforce. Instead of treating data as something stored in separate systems, Data 360 makes it actionable across sales, service, marketing, commerce, analytics, automation, and Agentforce. That means teams can build unified customer profiles, activate real-time segments, power AI workflows, and make decisions from trusted data instead of disconnected records.
