Choosing Your Data 360 Provisioning Strategy

The choice of how to provision Salesforce Data Cloud is a foundational decision that impacts everything from AI readiness to platform features and overall scalability. Learn how the Data Cloud Provisioning Decision Guide can help.
Enterprises with Data 360 and multiple Salesforce orgs face an important architectural decision: how to bring customer data together in a way that strengthens governance, compliance, and cost efficiency.
The choice of how to provision Salesforce Data 360 is a foundational decision that impacts everything from AI readiness to platform features and overall scalability. To help you navigate this complexity, we published a comprehensive Decision Guide: Data 360 Provisioning. This guide is designed for architects and technical leaders and focuses on three core strategic choices:
- Choosing Your Home Org: Should you provision Data 360 in an existing major org or create a new, dedicated one?
- The Multi-Org Strategy: Why is Data 360 One the recommended default for creating a single source of truth across your orgs?
- Collaborating Across Separate Data 360s: Strategic guidance on how and when to transition to a Data 360 One cluster versus set up Zero Copy data sharing between Data 360s.
Why Utilize the Data 360 Provisioning Decision Guide
A Decision Guide is a resource designed to help architects evaluate critical choices with clarity and consistency and choose the right Salesforce tools for your solutions. Instead of a one-size-fits-all prescriptive approach, Decision Guides outline:
- The context of the decision
- The trade-offs of each approach
- Best practices informed by real-world implementations
The goal is to help you make intentional, well-documented choices that align with your architectural strategy—rather than reactive decisions that create downstream complexity and technical debt down the line.
