At the sold-out event, Salesforce will showcase its latest innovations across the Salesforce Platform — empowering anyone to create connected customer experiences with Lightning, Einstein, Trailhead and its newest offering, the Salesforce Integration Cloud.
Tune into the keynote live via Salesforce Live (https://www.salesforce.com/live) at 10 a.m. PT to hear from Vice Chairman, President and COO Keith Block; President and Chief Product Officer Bret Taylor; EVP Developer Relations & GM Trailhead Sarah Franklin; and special guests. A fireside chat with Chairman and CEO Marc Benioff and CTO and Co-founder Parker Harris will also be webcast live at 4 p.m. PT.
"Companies of every size and industry need to transform how they operate in the digital era—and that transformation starts and ends with the customer," said Bret Taylor, President and Chief Product Officer, Salesforce. "The Salesforce Platform empowers our entire Trailblazer community, regardless of skill levels, to harness the latest advancements in technology and deliver the connected customer experiences that will take their companies and careers to new heights."
Introducing Salesforce Integration Cloud: Connect Every Experience
Connecting systems and disparate data sources to build customer experiences remains one of the biggest developer challenges. The new Salesforce Integration Cloud includes a set of services and tools that make it easy for customers to surface their data — regardless of where it resides — and deliver intelligent, connected customer experiences across all channels and touchpoints. Integration Cloud will have three layers:
Introducing Lightning Flow: The Power of CRM Process Automation for Every Customer Experience
With Salesforce Lightning, Trailblazers can work even better, and faster, together to build apps and components via clicks or code. With a complete spectrum of tools and services — from the no-code App Builder to fully programmatic environments like Heroku — developers of all skill levels are free to choose the right tool for their team across the entire development lifecycle on Salesforce.
Lightning Flow is the latest platform service that gives any Trailblazer the tools to bring the power of process automation to CRM. Today, many businesses continue to manage customer processes with legacy tools disconnected from customer data, resulting in costly delays and lost opportunities. With Lightning Flow Components, developers and business users are now building processes with guided, visual tools integrated with customer data and embedded into any touchpoint, resulting in reduced wait times for customers and improved productivity.
For example, a pharmaceutical company could increase prescription fulfillments by using Lightning Flow to build automated processes that improve data entry and accuracy for patients filling out insurance forms.
Make Every App Smarter with the Einstein Analytics and Quip Live Apps
With advances in AI and app integration, business users can now embed intelligence directly into their apps and gain instant access to additional capabilities that keep their business moving forward in just a few clicks.
Trailhead Accelerates the Next Generation of Developer Learning and Career Growth
Trailhead is Salesforce's gamified online learning platform that takes users on free, guided learning paths to gain skills needed to thrive in the workforce of the future. Since launching in 2014, Trailblazers have earned more than 6.5 million badges, which directly relate to in-demand job skills.
"Trailhead is the front door to a new career that'll change your life," said Zac Otero, Salesforce Lead, BKD CPAs & Advisors. "I'm living proof that you can go from the factory floor to dealing with the most advanced technologies in the world. Through Salesforce and Trailhead, there's a place for anyone in the new economy—you just have to reach for it."
Today, Salesforce is expanding Trailhead to include:
