Data Quality in Salesforce: The Key to Unleashing AI’s Potential

Salesforce is a powerful CRM platform that can help businesses of all sizes improve their sales, marketing, and customer service operations. But did you know that the quality of your data in Salesforce has a direct impact on the performance of your AI output?

In this blog post, we'll explore the crucial connection between data quality and AI output, and we’ll highlight why a 3rd-party solution like Cloudingo is necessary for improving data accuracy and optimizing AI performance in Salesforce.

The Challenge: Data Duplication

One of the biggest challenges to data quality in Salesforce is data duplication. Duplicate records can lead to inaccurate insights, biased predictions, and even made-up results from your AI models. This can have a devastating impact on your business, leading to wasted time and resources, lost opportunities, and damaged customer relationships.

Why Native Duplicate Management Features Fall Short

While Salesforce offers some native duplicate management features, they fall short in many key areas. For example, they have a limited number of active duplicates per object, and they can be difficult to use for bulk merge operations. Additionally, Salesforce's native duplicate management algorithms are not always effective at identifying and merging duplicate records, especially when it comes to fuzzy matches.

These constraints can be a significant obstacle, particularly for organizations dealing with thousands of potential duplicates. Salesforce’s native duplicate management does a great job at one-off duplicate blocking, as users enter new records. But it falls short when it comes to analyzing a full data set or managing data creation from other sources.
