AI and Data Analytics initiatives are driving a surge of interest and need for Salesforce data dictionaries because they:

- improve data quality
- provide AI and analytics systems with accurate business context
- accelerate team onboarding
- reduce technical debt
- establish a shared source of truth

 

And it might sound simple at first: document your objects, fields, relationships, definitions, business rules, etc.... but actually building and maintaining a *successful* data dictionary can be very challenging.

So where do you start and what's the best approach?

Join this webinar to see what it takes to build a Salesforce data dictionary manually, where AI and LLMs can help, and how that approach compares with automating the process with Arovy.

## You’ll learn:

- Manual vs. automated approaches
- Where AI/ LLMs can help, and where they fall short
- How to keep it up to date as your org evolves
- How to give AI and analytics systems the business context they need

Leave with a clear understanding of which approach to building and maintaining your Salesforce data dictionary is right for your organization.
