Datablazer Community Group

📣 It's back. Mark your calendars, lace up your shoes, and get ready to run (or walk, or stroll with coffee in hand) through one of San Francisco's most iconic backdrops. 

Registration is officially open for the Annual Dreamforce Community Fun Run! 

We will once again meet up for an  at-your-own-pace 5K. Open to  ALL (Trailblazers, Customers, Partners), this beloved tradition brings together Trailblazers for a morning of movement, connection, and fun, plus limited swag for customers while it lasts. 

🗓️ Wednesday, September 16, 2026

📍 6:00 AM

📌 Ferry Building Marketplace

📍Run Route: https://success.salesforce.com/06930000005Q0j7

Important Notes: 

Start & Finish: The run will begin and end on sidewalk directly in front of the Ferry Building's main staircase (as is tradition), we'll loop around AT&T Park, and head back to the start. 

Bags: Please leave bags and personal belongings at your hotel. We do not have the ability to store or monitor bags. We are in a public space.

Notes: This is not timed and very informal.

Grab your spot, bring a friend, and help us make this year's run the biggest one yet.

Hello Datablazer!  

As you know, AI agents are only as good as the data feeding them. If customer data is fragmented across systems, AI can't deliver accurate experiences, creating what we call identity debt. Following my recent TDX session, I published a breakdown on the Salesforce Architecture blog: 4 Steps to Eliminate Identity Debt with Data 360. 

Here is the quick framework:  

1️⃣ Standardise – Cleanly ingest identity data.  

2️⃣ Resolve – Build unified profiles with clear rules.  

3️⃣ Harmonise – Align data models across systems.  

4️⃣ Activate – Feed trusted context into your AI. 

Mehmet kindly suggested to share the article in this community.  

A couple of points he kindly raised (Thank you!): Cleansing and filtering bad data directly at the source is preferred whenever possible to prevent false matches during Data 360 transformations. Additionally, because Data 360 resolves phone numbers for matching without standardising their output, complex country-specific formatting is best managed using external enrichment services like Google’s libphonenumber.

Big thank you for Miriam McCabe for her amazing support throughout this journey.  

I hope you'll find this article interesting and a valuable use of your time. Thank you and have a lovely weekend! 

I just started to explore Data 360, and I picturise the concept like this, Is it a good thought 😊
