On this episode of the Cloud Wars Live podcast, I speak with Salesforce EVP Jujhar Singh, who heads up Salesforce’s Industry Clouds business. We discuss why so many businesses are eager to acquire and deploy these industry-specific applications and what new types of value the apps are delivering. Will also talk about how Industry Clouds fit into Salesforce’s large and well-established product portfolio, and how Salesforce’s approach compares with that of Microsoft and others.
The Industry Cloud Boom: Salesforce
The Big Themes:
- The appetite for industry solutions is expanding in a very big way: Speaking the language of our customers is key.
- AI becomes much richer: The key element is how do you imagine the whole thing using AI – including industry-specific data models, processes, and analytics.
- Industry-specific offerings: Partners and customers building on top of not only our 360 platform but also industry-specific clouds.
The Big Quote: “We have seen an immense need from our customers and we have responded in kind by building and acquiring these companies, which are based on top of our plan.”
