What is Data.com?

In 2011, Salesforce.com announced the launch of Data.com, a cloud-based solution to help clean data and provide sales intelligence in CRM systems. This launch also announced a new partnership with Dun & Bradstreet to aid the data enrichment and hygiene for company information in Salesforce. Since then, with the industry's most trusted commercial data delivered into Data.com, sales leaders can segment markets and target the most profitable accounts with precision. Salesforce administrators and sales operations leaders use the data to efficiently plan territories, drive custom rules and workflows, and improve overall data governance efforts.

Why is Data.com Retiring?

Since Data.com launched, the Salesforce platform and ecosystem has grown, and data has gotten more specialized. Automated customer and prospect interactions, analytics and face-to-face meetings, determined by underlying information that resides in Salesforce, have become essential in driving revenue growth. As demand for specialized data increased, customers began to ask Salesforce for help integrating and using these new data sets. The Lightning Data platform and AppExchange provide a powerful new way for customers to work with trusted data partners in Salesforce. Lightning Data offerings allow customers to build more intelligent and automated processes to improve overall CRM user adoption and customer success, without the need for IT involvement.
