Discovering Salesforce's Single Source of Truth. In this new digital age, marketing is defined by how well you know your customer/account/brand and how well you can personalize any interaction. Using the power of the cloud for scale and the power of the Lightning platform for dev and ISV extensibility, We shipped the first organically developed product that brings together a single source of truth for all marketers. This is enriched by the integration of real time interactions using ML technology to personalize in-moment interactions and social signal processing to understand and act on social signals for sales/service/marketing/commerce.
