Ville Loppinen and Juha Saarinen recently attended Dreamforce 2024 to explore Salesforce's latest AI innovations. Kauppalehti's tech and business reporter, and US correspondent, Veera Honkanen interviewed them for an article recapping the event and the rise of AI agents, in Finnish 🇫🇮: ”Nyt nähtävillä on [tekoälyn] konkreettinen liiketoiminnallinen hyöty”, sanoi datajohtajamme Juha toisen Dreamforce-päivän jälkeen San Franciscossa. Jotta työkaluista saa hyödyt irti, pitää asiakasdatan olla kunnossa. Ville kommentoi haastattelussa, että tässä monilla suomalaisyhtiöillä on vielä tekemistä: ”Yritykset, joilla asiakastieto ei ole kunnossa, eivät pääse tähän junaan millään. Olen monesti ihmetellyt, että yritysjohtajille ei ole hirveän tärkeää panna asiakkuuden tietoa sellaiseen kuntoon, että nämä hienot järjestelmät voisi iskeä siihen kiinni”, Ville sanoo. 👉 Lue lisää Juhan ja Villen sekä muiden alan asiantuntijoiden ajatuksista Tivin artikkelista: https://lnkd.in/d_Kg8dxi  🔥
