The company aims to achieve total revenue of $23 billion by fiscal year 2022 and is driven by technological revolution including demand for artificial intelligence and machine learning. To achieve this, the company has introduced the next generation of its AI platform, Einstein, to unlock deeper customer insights and deliver a transformational customer experience. The platform now provides over 3 billion predictions and insights to Salesforce’s customers daily. We expect the AI platform to augment the company’s growth in the coming years and enable it to achieve the revenue target on or ahead of plan.
Salesforce.com has extended its strategic alliance with Google to deepen the integration between the company’s Marketing Cloud and Google Analytics 360. The initiative has been witnessing positive feedback from customers. Further, Salesforce Commerce Cloud continues to be the fastest growing enterprise commerce solution and is delivering solid results. The company recently acquired CloudCraze, the leader in B2B commerce, to offer a single platform that can be used for both B2B and B2C experiences by Salesforce’s clients. All these initiatives are likely to boost the company’s top-line as well as valuation in the near term.
