Suppose that you want to develop profitability snapshot dashboards and visualizations for each department. A task of this scope requires a detailed dataset. While you have some local data, gaining a complete and accurate view requires incorporating the Sales DMO from the production org. This integrated approach enables you to combine real-world datasets needed to power your dashboards and implement a proactive, data-informed sales strategy.
