Welcome to the world of Comms Cloud On Core, where the platform itself becomes the engine of agility, intelligence, and continuous innovation.
The “Aha!” Moment: Reimagining Industry Clouds

For years, Salesforce’s industry solutions were delivered through managed packages — powerful but somewhat disconnected extensions that sat on top of the platform. Then came the breakthrough: What if industry functionality could live natively within Salesforce Core?
This was the “Aha!” moment that led to the new generation of industry clouds. Instead of layering additional code and components, Salesforce began embedding industry capabilities directly into the core metadata, data model, and automation framework of the platform.
The result? A more seamless, scalable, and truly unified experience for customers and developers alike.
Old World vs New World: Vlocity Managed Packages vs Core-Native Metadata
| Old World (Vlocity Managed Packages) | New World (Core-Native Metadata) |
|---|---|
| Industry logic existed as packaged extensions. | Functionality embedded directly into Salesforce Core. |
| Upgrades required complex dependency management. | Smooth upgrades driven by unified metadata. |
| Integrations needed translation layers. | Seamless data sharing across all Salesforce Clouds. |
| Old World (Vlocity Managed Packages) | New World (Core-Native Metadata) |
| Industry logic existed as packaged extensions. | Functionality embedded directly into Salesforce Core. |
| Upgrades required complex dependency management. | Smooth upgrades driven by unified metadata. |
| Integrations needed translation layers. | Seamless data sharing across all Salesforce Clouds. |
| Customizations often involved scripting and custom Apex. | Declarative configurations through standard Salesforce tools. |
| Performance depended on managed package layers. | Optimized performance through native Core execution. |
| Data models varied between clouds and packages. | Unified, cross-cloud data model for consistency. |
| Limited reuse of platform capabilities like Flow, OmniStudio, etc. | Full reuse of Salesforce automation, AI, and data features. |
| Complex deployment pipelines across multiple orgs. | Simplified deployment with standard DevOps Center and metadata APIs. |
| Industry-specific features updated on separate schedules. | Continuous innovation aligned with Salesforce’s core releases. |
| Old World (Vlocity Managed Packages) | New World (Core-Native Metadata) |
The move from managed packages to Core-native metadata eliminates barriers, enabling faster innovation and more consistent customer experiences.
Living in One Ecosystem: The Beauty of No Translation Layer
In a Core-native world, there’s no need to move data or logic between managed packages and the platform. Everything — from customer data and automation to analytics and AI — lives in one unified ecosystem.
This means:
- Consistent data models across sales, service, and industry processes.
- Native automation using Flow, Apex, and Einstein AI without translation overhead.
- Unified security and governance policies built into the same core framework.
In short, the barriers between “industry cloud” and “platform” disappear. You’re not integrating with Salesforce — you are Salesforce.
