It’s no secret that without the proper oversight, process, documentation or expertise, a Salesforce Org can quickly spiral out of control.
A lot of the projects I have worked on in the past have been clean-up or optimisation projects that require us to sync Salesforce back to the business. A lot of Salesforce customers implement Salesforce and then think of the project as a job well done…until inevitably the system falls down as the business moves away from the implementation. This is a costly exercise.
Salesforce has to be thought of as a system that needs attention. Just like a garden needs pruning, and a car needs maintenance, Salesforce requires the odd bit of oil every now and then.
The team over at Elements.cloud who have produced some great content here on SalesforceBen.com in the past, are experts in this field and have brought us a gift.
