Context
A company in the energy sector had entrusted its Salesforce implementation to an external integrator. At delivery, significant gaps separated business expectations from the actual implementation: a data model detached from the processes, incomplete scope, fragile integrations.
The company wanted to regain control of its platform and turn it into a durable foundation for its customer relationships, rather than starting over.
Engagement
- Full audit of the existing implementation: data model, automations, code, integrations
- Workshops with business teams to realign actual needs with the solution
- Redesign of the data model around the sector's business objects: contracts, delivery sites, consents
- Hardening and rationalization of the integrations with the information system
- A prioritized roadmap, shared between IT and business leadership
- Supported hiring and onboarding of in-house developers
Impact
- A platform consistent with the real business processes
- An architecture that is simpler to maintain and evolve
- A long-term vision shared by IT and business leadership
- An in-house team autonomous on day-to-day changes
