Management Summary

Data silos are still a problem - even in large organizations - when it comes to mapping the entire customer journey and identifying the "next best moment" to address the customer or potential customer. Companies that invest a lot in their CRM and web analysis systems first have to bring together the data from the different system landscapes in order to be able to analyze and report it. This costs a massive amount of resources and in the end the problem still remains: what to do with the findings for which you have invested so much effort (keyword “actionability”)? With the partnership between Google and Salesforce concluded in 2017, the market leaders of the above-mentioned system landscapes - CRM, digital analytics and marketing - are moving towards each other. In this article we show what the new dream couple can already do and will do in the future.
