Salesforce Data Management Platform Named a Leader by Independent Research Firm

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the global leader in CRM, today announced the Salesforce Data Management Platform (DMP) was named a leader by Forrester Research in its report The Forrester Wave™: Data Management Platforms, Q2 2017. The report evaluated 11 vendors based on 35 criteria, including current offering, strategy and market presence.

Salesforce received the highest possible scores among all reviewed vendors for the strategy and market presence categories.

Salesforce DMP has been able to manage our user identify issues, providing deep matches to second- and third-party data sources and addressing a broad range of design needs.' Surveyed customers gave Salesforce DMP high praise for change management, segment creation and management, data security and leakage prevention, flexibility and usability of the user interface, privacy capabilities, cost, and overall flexibility."

"In today's connected world, marketers must leverage data to personalize every experience a consumer has with a brand across ads, websites, social marketing, commerce and more," said Bob Stutz, CEO of Marketing Cloud, Salesforce. "With Salesforce DMP, companies can harness billions of data signals to optimize every touchpoint of the customer journey and build breakthrough brand experiences, deepen consumer engagement and improve business performance."
