Salesforce’s Educational Data Model (“EDA”) is an innovative and flexible architecture that gives educational institutions from K-12 to higher education a way to capture a 360-degree view of their students. With EDA, institutions can easily view the relationships that students have with faculty, staff, academic advisors, family members, and even memberships with academic departments and student organizations. It’s truly an innovative data architecture built on the Salesforce platform designed to facilitate a Connected Campus.

Ancient civilizations were very interested in predictions. If you read Greek and Roman mythologies, you may remember there were people called oracles who were blessed with the power of prophecy. People offered sacrifices to the gods so that the gods could speak through these divine individuals. Kings would make decisions based on what they were told by oracles. Oracles made predictions and people listened to them.

Granularity

It’s a word we hear all the time with Einstein Analytics. Key decision makers can perform granular analysis of data through Einstein Analytics’ easy to use dashboards to derive actionable insights.

Here at Wave6 we've been building on two of Salesforce’s most recent and popular Clouds: Analytics Cloud and Community Cloud. Wave6 is one of the premier partners when it comes to solutions on these two Salesforce platforms. We are starting to hear from quite a few of our existing and new customers an interest for convergence of these two clouds. 

In many of our implementations we have integrated Sales or Service Cloud with Analytics Cloud, or App Cloud integration using tools like Lighting Connect with Analytics Cloud and even Partner Communities using Sales/Community Cloud or Customer Communities using Service/Community Cloud. The new fusion of a robust analytics tool with a best in breed collaboration tool has bought new concepts that have not been seen much as of yet.
