FAQs
Do we need Data Cloud if we already have a data warehouse?
Not always. Data Cloud is strongest when Salesforce-led activation and profile unification are the bottleneck. Sometimes warehouse + integration is sufficient—we recommend based on use cases.
What governance is required for Data Cloud success?
Clear data ownership, identity keys, consent definitions, and monitoring for ingestion errors. Without governance, harmonization confidence drops quickly.
