How Salesforce Industry Clouds Are Powering Industry-Specific Innovation 

In today’s world, where the digital economy is demanding organizations to do business smarter, faster, and with enhanced customer experiences, organizations are struggling to navigate through the strict regulatory standards. Traditionally, organizations engage with solutions without recognizing space-specific and industry needs, specifically in highly regulated sectors such as healthcare, finance, retail, and manufacturing. This is where Salesforce Industry Clouds offer solutions to drive specific industry capabilities. 

Salesforce Industry Clouds move beyond just the capabilities of a general purpose platform, offering sector specific workflows, data models, and compliance processes aligned to real world organizational needs. By offering inherent advantages of reducing organizational development lead times, these solutions blend the Salesforce industry-leading CRM platform with industry-specific capabilities that would traditionally require custom services or development. 

As industries continue to change, the need for these clouds has driven organizations to accelerated digital transformation, realizing the ability to flexibly scale based on built-in industry functionality and compliance. This is driving more than a reaction of organizational efficiencies, these clouds are creating key industry innovations, changing how organizations build and manage processes and interactions with their customers. 

What Are Salesforce Industry Clouds? 

Salesforce Industry Clouds are specialized solutions designed to serve the needs of different industries. Built on the Salesforce Customer 360 platform, they integrate the strengths of CRM with industry-specific data models, workflows, and AI-enabled capabilities. Organizations can take advantage of these clouds without starting from nothing or making unfocused adjustments to a generic platform; they can take the cloud as is, based on the priorities of their sector, with built-in functionality.  

These clouds expedite adoption by tackling industry-specific pain points, bringing down the cost of customization, and producing results sooner. They provide a head start to organizations on their journey to their own process transformation, while allowing flexibility in their capacity to grow and evolve. 

Why Industry Clouds Are Transforming Business Innovation 

Typical technology platforms usually require a lot of customization for the needs of unique industries. Customizing technology solutions can be time-consuming and costly to implement. Through Salesforce Industry Clouds, a new way to deliver out-of-the-box solutions with industry-specific needs can challenge that issue. 

The innovation in Industry Clouds is how we created a cloud that allows for data, AI, and automation to work together while including relevant industry-specific aspects. Companies no longer have to create their own next-generation solutions from scratch but can have building blocks to build out defined processes and insights that enable accelerated transformation. 

Keyways Industry Clouds drive innovation include: 

Faster time-to-value: Since workflows and integrations are built in, companies will be able to deploy solutions in a matter of weeks. 

Improved compliance and trust: The built-in tools help companies comply with industry regulations, decreasing risk and ensuring the security of data. 

Customer-centric experiences: With unified data and AI-driven personalization, organizations can build much more valuable and relevant customer experiences that are specific to their industry. 

Agility and scalability: As industries change, Salesforce Industry Clouds offer the flexibility to continuously adapt and innovate. 

By reducing barriers to innovation, Industry Clouds allow organizations to concentrate on real innovations that deliver customer value and grow their business vs wasting time and resources on building a foundational system. 

Key Benefits Across Different Industries 

Salesforce Industry Clouds are tailored to meet the unique challenges and objectives of each specific industry. By leveraging industry-specific data models, workflows, and AI insights, these Clouds help businesses track and quantify operational and customer engagement improvements.  

Healthcare and Life Sciences 

In the healthcare industry, Salesforce Health Cloud goes beyond HIPAA-compliant records management to provide providers with connected/continuity of care use cases. Patient experience engagement begins in the appointment scheduling process and extends to chronic care follow-ups. This timely and effective integration represents an administration of trust and transparency for patient care. 

Financial Services 

Companies that use Financial Services Cloud have tools to understand their client’s portfolios, curate interactions, and deliver the financial advice their clients should be receiving to fulfill on their financial goals. Plus, advisors get experience, goals, triggers, and AI-based cash flow insights to help anticipate the needs of their clients. Beyond that, automation can help firms streamline the processes of onboarding clients and maintain compliance of regulatory obligations. 

Retail and E-Commerce 

For retailers using Commerce Cloud, omnichannel shopping experiences, quality-based intelligent product recommendations, and integrated loyalty programs augment those customer experiences. It is especially important that retailers have harmonized data across online and in-store shopping experiences to allow retailers to engage customers at the right time with the right price. 

Manufacturing 

Manufacturing companies use Manufacturing Cloud to have better visibility on demand and production requirements, as well as the status of partner relationships to indirectly support demand and production requirements, if needed. Manufacturers benefit from planning tools, forecasting tools, and automating current business processes, leading sales and operational teams to experience greater synergy with planning functions, and to more efficiently use operational teams’ resource potential. 

Public Sector 

Salesforce Public Sector Solutions make it easy for government and public services to engage with citizens. Whether it is case management or digital service delivery, public service agencies can offer faster, more transparent and more citizen-centric interactions while minimizing administrative burden.
