Great short interview between Mike Loder and Gavin Jones giving us some insightful stats behind #generativeai, the challenges being faced, where Australia sits on a global scale with our adoption of it and more based on our survey of over 3,000 tech leaders. Check out the full report- some key challenges outlined include; 1) Struggling to view and access the data needed, when they need it. 2)The ability to search across structured and unstructured data, find, and identify trends and relationships within the data—invaluable to successful data management and business practices—is one of the main challenges organizations currently face. 3) Speed, data silos, and data quality are a recurring challenge for organisations. Generative AI can help navigate these hurdles and respondents cited that enhancing missing data handling (48%), improving data masking and privacy (43%), and the ability to conduct rigorous and regular data quality assessments using synthetic data (43%) would be the most common generative AI benefits for their organisations

🚀 Navigating Salesforce Mergers with Precision and Strategy 🚀 A recent PwC report expressed that 1 out of 3 Aussie CEO's are planning on making 3 or more acquisitions over the next 3 years! This reminded of a recent blog post I read from Copado's own Aaron Tavakoli. While M&A can signal exciting new chapters, they bring formidable challenges, especially when merging Salesforce environments. 🔧 The Challenge: Salesforce Admins and Developers become pivotal in ensuring seamless integration of diverse systems across organisational landscapes. Achieving synergy during mergers is a monumental task that requires meticulous management to prevent wasted efforts. 📊 Strategic Approach: Merging Salesforce environments is a marathon that could stretch over months or more, depending on complexity. It involves merging vast amounts of data, custom objects, workflows, and apps, demanding tailored strategies to maintain harmony. 🛠️ DevOps and Copado’s Role: In this intricate process, maintaining robust DevOps pipelines is crucial. Copado steps up with advanced CI/CD tools to automate conflict detection and resolution, enhancing transparency and reducing errors during integration phases. This ensures updates roll out smoothly, keeping the business operational without hitches. 🤖 Leveraging AI with CopadoGPT: Our new AI solution, currently in Beta, revolutionizes planning and deployment by automating repetitive tasks, performing complex data analyses swiftly, and providing predictive insights for faster, informed decision-making. 👥 Human Touch in Testing: Despite automation, manual testing, especially User Acceptance Testing (UAT), remains indispensable to ensure each update not only functions correctly but also meets user expectations. 🌐 Conclusion: Merging Salesforce environments presents significant challenges but within that lies opportunities for growth and refinement. With the bright tools, Salesforce Admins and Developers are well-equipped to navigate these complex waters, ensuring the organisation not only survives but thrives. #Salesforce #DevOps #Copado #MergersAndAcquisitions #InnovationInTech Garret Terrien Steven Wong Damien Olbourne Mukesh Kumar Vivek Kumar Matt Hill Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gTqvzzkD

Watching the Australia Boomers tonight has me thinking more about how coaches monitor player workloads and manage injuries. What if we could use AI to predict injuries and personalise recovery? Databricks’ platform is making this a reality. Imagine optimising training and safeguarding athletes' health. With the Paris Olympics on the horizon, it's no doubt going to be front of mind for coaches and athletes. Love working with Sports organisations to bring the future of sports to life with Databricks. #DataAnalytics #AI #Databricks #SportsInnovation #GenerativeAI #MachineLearning

I love hearing about how our customers are building on Snowflake. Judo Bank's, general manager of data, Isaac Davis, said after considering various tools, Judo settled on Snowflake. Despite involving around 1,400 workloads, the migration to Snowflake only took two months, helped in part by the in-house creation of tools to automate code changes. The migration put Judo “in a really good situation”, said Davis. There is less fluctuation in processing times, and the platform requires less ongoing management, freeing up around 5% of the team’s time, and provides secure data sharing and collaboration. While, Commonwealth Bank’s (CBA’s) chief data and analytics officer, Andrew McMullan, lauded Snowflake’s versatility for model creation and execution, including models from external platforms. Applications range from real-time fraud detection to personalised customer offers. The bank even uses Snowflake to detect and block abusive messages in online payment descriptions, sharing these algorithms with other financial institutions. All of the bank’s AI models are monitored in real time via Snowflake, with alerts going to the right people if a model’s performance drifts beyond specified limits.

Recently, I was lucky enough to be asked to be recorded building a Service Agent using Agentforce at the Salesforce AgentForce World Tour in Sydney. What made the experience even more interesting was using Slack to collaborate with one Agent while building the Service Agent. Together, we pulled content from the SalesFix - Salesforce Consulting Partner website, enabling the Agent to answer questions with contextually relevant customer success stories. This project demonstrated the incredible potential of combining Salesforce’s Agentforce and Slack to streamline knowledge-sharing and enhance customer experiences. Huge thanks to Salesforce for hosting such an inspiring event and providing the tools to make these ideas a reality. If you’re interested in seeing how Service Agents like this can transform your support teams, feel free to reach out—I’d love to chat. #Salesforce #Agentforce #CustomerSuccess #ServiceInnovation

Salesforce's decision to make their core products available on the AWS Marketplace in Australia (and globally) is a significant endorsement of the trust and confidence they have in AWS's scale and reach. By leveraging the extensive infrastructure and broad capabilities provided by AWS, Salesforce can now offer their cutting-edge solutions to a wider audience while maintaining the highest levels of performance, security, and reliability. The streamlined procurement process, flexible pricing options, and consolidated billing offered by the AWS Marketplace also make it simpler than ever for organisations to harness the full potential of their cloud investments. In my view, this strategic partnership between Salesforce and AWS is a significant milestone in the growing adoption of software marketplaces as an enabler for business growth and innovation. As more companies seek to leverage advanced technologies like AI, the ability to quickly access and deploy best-in-class solutions through a trusted platform will be paramount to achieving success in the digital age. #SalesforceOnAWS #TrustedPartnership #ScalingInnovation
