Explainer

Data 360 is a data platform that brings together data split across Salesforce orgs, marketing, web engagement, warehouses, and lakehouses so it can be used for AI, analytics, and automation. Its work follows four stages: connect and ingest data, transform and model it, unify and enhance it, then analyze and act on it. Consultant questions often describe a requirement and ask which feature solves it, so you need to know which feature belongs to which stage.
Core information
  • Data 360 is organized into four stages: Connect and Ingest, Transform and Model, Unify and Enhance, and Analyze and Act. After these, you continue to review, measure, and optimize the data.
More details and nuances
  • Ingesting data does not make it usable downstream. Only mapped fields and objects with relationships can be used for Segmentation and Activation, so a DLO that is not mapped to a DMO cannot be used in a segment.
