Turn Salesforce Data 360 into a governed, actionable customer-data layer.

Formerly known as Data Cloud, Data 360 helps connect and harmonize data across systems. HISOLIT can help teams frame identity, ingestion, mapping, activation, consent and integration work around measurable use cases.

Scope and deliverables

Data 360 architecture workstreams

Start from the business use case and data contracts, then confirm the source systems, identities, data model, access, activation targets and operating cost controls.

01

Source inventory and ingestion

Catalogue CRM, commerce, support, analytics, warehouse and engagement sources; document batch or streaming expectations.

02

Mapping and harmonization

Define object and field mapping, transformations, freshness expectations, data quality checks and ownership.

03

Identity resolution

Agree match rules, reconciliation priorities, identifier quality and edge cases for duplicate or conflicting profiles.

04

Segmentation and activation

Connect segments and calculated insights to downstream use cases, destinations and business permissions.

05

Governance and access

Document consent, sensitive data, access policies, data retention and approved activation purposes.

06

Cost and operational controls

Review consumption assumptions, refresh frequency, test environment approach, monitoring and run ownership.

Delivery principles

Make the outcome testable before the work scales.

Technology choices should follow the business process and operating context. Capture constraints and failure behavior early so implementation teams know what “ready” means.

01

Use-case-first design

Prioritize data products around defined outcomes, such as unified profile, audience activation or service context.

02

Data quality visibility

Agree freshness, completeness, uniqueness and mapping checks before downstream teams consume data.

03

Identity clarity

Document how identifiers are linked and how ambiguous or conflicting records are handled.

04

Activation readiness

Validate destination schemas, permissions, payload requirements and monitoring before activating audiences.

Salesforce renamed Data Cloud to Data 360 on October 14, 2025; older documentation and system labels may still use Data Cloud. Product packaging and feature availability should be confirmed against the current Salesforce org and contract.

How engagements work

A practical delivery sequence

A consistent sequence makes dependencies visible and reduces the chance that data, integration, permissions or operational needs are discovered at the end of the project.

Define priority use cases

Choose the customer, sales, service or marketing decision the data should support.

Assess data and identity

Map sources, identifiers, consent, data quality and system-of-record responsibilities.

Design and validate flows

Define ingestion, modeling, reconciliation, activation and negative-path checks.

Operationalize governance

Document monitoring, refresh cadence, data stewardship, cost review and support ownership.

Frequently asked questions

Questions to resolve before delivery starts.

Final scope depends on the products enabled in your Salesforce environment, access, architecture, licensing and acceptance needs.

Is Salesforce Data 360 the same as Data Cloud?

Salesforce announced that Data Cloud was rebranded to Data 360 effective October 14, 2025. Existing documentation and application labels may still refer to Data Cloud during the transition. Confirm current product details with Salesforce.

What should be decided before implementing Data 360?

Prioritize use cases, source systems, identities, data mappings, freshness, governance, activation destinations, consumption assumptions and operational ownership.

Can Data 360 activate data to other clouds?

Activation patterns depend on the selected destination, product capabilities, permissions and architecture. Define destination requirements and validation checks as part of design.
