Your software project is mission critical and acquiring the software is just the start. Implementation, configuration and support are considered equally important to the software you choose. Salesforce consultants can help make your project successful in a number of ways. Some things to consider when considering a Salesforce consulting company:
1. Time to realize benefit. Yes, you may have the resources on staff with the expertise to implement Salesforce but they probably have full time jobs that prohibit their full attention to implementation. Meanwhile an experienced consulting team will have many implementations under their belts allowing them to move far faster, making fewer errors along the way, and knowing exactly where to cut corners and where specific focus is required.
2. Cost. Every day that your Salesforce investment is not live is a day you aren’t realizing operational and revenue benefits. A good Salesforce consultant can simply help you move faster to get live faster and avoiding the small and catastrophic mistakes along the way.
3. Clarity of vision. While you may think you know what you want today, an experienced Salesforce consultants can help you better understand what’s possible with this new technology platform before your go-live. Yet another opportunity to accelerate your return.
4. Post go-live augmentation. Once your implementation is complete you’ve only just begun. With your team running full speed on this new Salesforce platform it’s typical to expect new ideas and an augmented vision for operations, reporting and workflows. A good Salesforce consultant can help you continually optimize your implementation for optimal benefit.
5. Post go-live support. Challenges will arise that are best handled by a Salesforce consulting partner that knows your business and the software platform. Most often this is why businesses ask for a ‘Salesforce consultant near me’. It’s absolutely reassuring to have a hand to hold close by, but it’s not mission critical as we’ve quickly learned with social distancing in place.
