    IBM watsonx handles data unification and orchestration tasks well. This helps with ingestion and data transformation across various data sources in an intuitive package. Natigating the workflows along with tracing is also an advantage compared to different tools. This makes watsonx a great data pipeline for ingesting information for AI workflows. An area of improvement for Watsonx could be to enable better connectors to retrieve data from legacy databases.

    Great tool for client management, sales tracking, cases studies. Using is as the source of truth for all client communication. Allowing more integration options for cc and ACH payments. Right now the options are limited and only integrate with strict processing capabilities that are not always in the businesses best interest.

    IBM watsonx.data integration stands out in unifying structured and unstructured data with hybrid connectivity between legacy on-premise systems and cloud based systems. It supports governance-compliant retrieval so that the customer has control over what information can be used. With its ETL and control plane, the response and resolution time has increased significantly

    we have evaluated Snowflake, adobe rt-cdp as well. They also offer a very strong capabilities but the Data 360 is more suitable for us because of the same Salesforce ecosystem. The main key factor is without any custom code we were able to include it into our automations. And ofcourse with agentforce already in plans, we had to pick Data 360

    • Salesforce Data Cloud has a positive impact on me as a realtor because it is easy to generate reports on customer data and see what is needed to be bumped to the next level. We have to earn a certain commission by the end of the year and it makes it easy to see how close you are
    • It has a positive impact on keeping track of customers because it is nice to have it all in one place which is a nice time saver
    • I like that you can even see customer info from other agents making it nice to compare and try and pass others
    • Makes the customers journey smooth sailing because everything is in one place
