The company’s Customer 360 Truth platform, which helps connect the data from sales, service, marketing and commerce and build a single Salesforce ID for each customer, is likely to have boosted its performance. Also, Salesforce’s focus on AI and the substantial progress in its Einstein Analytics platform make it optimistic about the upcoming quarterly results.
