Genie makes every part of Customer 360 more automated, intelligent, and real time,\u201d continued Mr. Taylor in today\u2019s announcement. \u201cGenie is the platform for delivering magical customer experiences,\u201d said David Schmaier, chief product officer and the new president of Salesforce at a press conference held at Salesforce headquarters in San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wishing-for-customer-centric-data-harmony\">Wishing For Customer-Centric Data Harmony<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many ways, Salesforce Genie is yet another iteration of connected data in the cloud. The industry has a 30-year history of working on the \u201cswivel chair problem\u201d in data management. In idea started in the mid-1990\u2019s when Marc Benioff, Larry Ellison, and others at Oracle conceived of a universal database \u201cin the sky.\u201d At the time, people envisioned a single copy of every bit of data as hyperlinkable and could be viewed in \u201ca single pane of glass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, according to recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mulesoft.com\/lp\/reports\/connectivity-benchmark\">MuleSoft and Deloitte Digital research<\/a>, we aren\u2019t doing very well at connecting everything in 2022. Enterprises surveyed had an average of <em>976 separate applications<\/em> to run their business!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And making those connections and putting data in the hands of customer service representatives is a critical focus of today\u2019s organizations. The quantity and variety of data being ingested by organizations is only mounting. And there are plenty of \u201cdata intelligence\u201d competitors using artificial intelligence (AI) to ingest, analyze, and run reactive models. This explains the high valuations placed on Snowflake (NASDAQ: SNOW) and private companies like Fivetran and Databricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-salesforce-genie-works\">How Salesforce Genie Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salesforce Genie is a cloud native, proprietary Salesforce service formerly known as Salesforce Customer Data Platform (CDP). Salesforce says Genie is \u201cthe heart of real-time Customer 360. Genie ingests and stores real-time data streams at massive scale and combines it with Salesforce transactional data. Genie includes built-in connectors that bring in data from every channel (mobile, web, APIs), legacy data through MuleSoft, and historical data from proprietary data lakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-97d10519 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/genie-1-1024x569.jpg \" src=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/genie-1-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"Salesforce Customer 360 and Genie\" class=\"uag-image-25651\" width=\"\" height=\"\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, \u201cGenie transforms and harmonizes the data into a real-time customer graph \u2013 a unified customer profile record. Because Genie is built using the Salesforce metadata model, everything in the customer graph is visible and actionable across the entire Customer 360, every industry solution, AppExchange, and custom apps,\u201d the company said in today\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salesforce Genie promises to trigger Flows in real-time, and Einstein AI will instantly make predictions from new data. A \u201cbring your own AI\u201d feature lets you use Amazon SageMaker instead of Einstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each Salesforce cloud needs a Genie adapter. So, we now have Sales Cloud Genie, Service Cloud Genie, Marketing Cloud Genie, Commerce Cloud Genie, Tableau Genie, MuleSoft Genie, and Slack Genie. Genie adapters for Salesforce Industries are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-salesforce-genie-partner-ecosystem\">Salesforce Genie Partner Ecosystem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salesforce and Snowflake last week <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/salesforce-cdp-snowflake-partnership\/\">announced a new partnership<\/a> where Salesforce will provide real-time, zero-copy access to Salesforce cloud data via Salesforce Genie. The company also announced a new Salesforce Genie gallery in the AppExchange. The new gallery has 17 initial partners, including Snowflake, Amazon, and Meta (Facebook) advertising. Snowflake also has a major presence at this week\u2019s Dreamforce customer conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Amazon-SageMaker-AI-Studio-Register-Model.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" data-id=\"25659\" src=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Amazon-SageMaker-AI-Studio-Register-Model-1024x577.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Amazon-SageMaker-AI-Studio-Register-Model-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Amazon-SageMaker-AI-Studio-Register-Model-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Amazon-SageMaker-AI-Studio-Register-Model-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Amazon-SageMaker-AI-Studio-Register-Model-1536x865.png 1536w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Amazon-SageMaker-AI-Studio-Register-Model-2048x1153.png 2048w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Amazon-SageMaker-AI-Studio-Register-Model.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ads-Partnerships-Segment-Record-New-Activation.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"25662\" src=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ads-Partnerships-Segment-Record-New-Activation-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ads-Partnerships-Segment-Record-New-Activation-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ads-Partnerships-Segment-Record-New-Activation-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ads-Partnerships-Segment-Record-New-Activation-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ads-Partnerships-Segment-Record-New-Activation-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ads-Partnerships-Segment-Record-New-Activation-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ads-Partnerships-Segment-Record-New-Activation.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Snowflake-Partnership-New-Data-Stream.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"25658\" src=\"https:\/\/origin.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Snowflake-Partnership-New-Data-Stream-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Snowflake-Partnership-New-Data-Stream-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Snowflake-Partnership-New-Data-Stream-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Snowflake-Partnership-New-Data-Stream-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Snowflake-Partnership-New-Data-Stream-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Snowflake-Partnership-New-Data-Stream-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/cms.salesforcedevops.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Snowflake-Partnership-New-Data-Stream.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Schmaier also outlined how customers can get Salesforce Genie-trained experts. He said that Salesforce Professional Services is already working on the platform, and that several global system integrators were on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing, Mr. Schmaier also mentioned that new Salesforce Trailhead trails for Genie are expected to be available at Dreamforce. Trailhead content for each Sales Cloud Genie, Service Cloud Genie, etc. will also be available. A Genie Developer certification will also be available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yet-another-cdp\">Yet Another CDP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salesforce Genie will certainly excite the imagination of Salesforce customers worldwide. And some will make the move to invest in Salesforce as their connective customer tissue. But, how successful will Salesforce be against CDP competitors like Snowflake, Fivetran, and Databricks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protocol.com\/enterprise\/microsoft-salesforce-oracle-boomers-snowflake\">recent article in Protocol<\/a> challenged the notion that Salesforce was even viable as a growth company in the intelligent data layer. Given their current position in the market, there is only a small chance that Salesforce Genie will help Salesforce regain the high ground as the fastest growth stock in enterprise IT. One wonders if Salesforce should make a major acquisition to vault to the top of the CDP industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this re-launch of Salesforce CDP into Salesforce Genie lets Marc Benioff use his trademarked magic pixie dust to spark the imagination of IT leaders worldwide. Given the company\u2019s global reach and reputation, this new brand and push will increase Customer 360 adoption and move Salesforce Genie from the back of the pack to a more viable CDP leadership position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the global leader in CRM, today announced Salesforce Genie to claim the intelligent data layer. \u201cEvery business leader wants to take advantage of real-time data to create&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[51,1399],"post_series":[],"class_list":["post-25650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news","tag-salesforce","tag-snowflake","entry","has-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) -
