In 2009, U.S. Bank replaced several legacy systems with Salesforce Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and Marketing Cloud to provide its customer-facing employees with a single, holistic view of customer data. With more than 18 million customers across the country, U.S. Bank is now deploying Salesforce Einstein Analytics, Sales Cloud Einstein and Einstein Discovery to infuse artificial intelligence across the company and deliver data-driven insights.
