Organizations today are in the continuous pursuit of their ever elusive 360 degree view of their customers and prospects. The reason why organizations struggle with this is because they have numerous systems that hold different types of data, and it is always a challenge to marry these different data sources. However, once organizations can marry customer data from numerous data sources, new doors will open for things like explicit personalization and marketing automation. A good majority of Sitecore customers are also Salesforce CRM and Salesforce Marketing Cloud users. The opportunity to have these systems connected has never been more advantageous, and the way to marry Sitecore and Salesforce has never been more streamlined. Sitecore offers a Salesforce connector to accelerate these data connections. In this episode, we're going to dive into how a specific Sitecore customer, Renown Health, was able to utilize a Salesforce and Sitecore connector to better reach their constituents. To discuss the site, our host, Jon Price, spoke with Americaneagle.com's Senior Project Manager, Maggie Burke, and Sitecore Architect, Alex Lentz, both of whom worked on the project.

Continuing from the conversation in the last episode about Sitecore OrderCloud, our host, Jon Price, spoke with longtime Sitecore Architect and multi-year MVP, James Gregory, to discuss everything about Sitecore CDP (Customer Data Platform) and Sitecore Personalize.

This aggregate of data within a CDP can then be used to personalize on any channel. The CDP stores a 360 view so marketers can personalize the next step in whatever channel they may be in.
