Custom Salesforce Program: Creating Processes and Accessibility

The Challenge

The COO at a rapidly growing, newly public $500 million natural gas E&P and distribution company wanted to use Salesforce as a hub application platform for his cross-department/function end-to-end process and information access/update vision. However, its IT organization had minimal understanding of the platform, application architecture, and hybrid Cloud/Premise environment. To move forward at the urgent pace desired, an external project and development capability needed to be sourced quickly.

The Solution

In a supply-constrained marketplace for experienced Salesforce resources, Aspirant built an elite core program implementation team in just one month. Aspirant provided a seasoned Salesforce/Agile PM. Testing/QA leads integrated with a technical architect/developer, and a solution architect/developer from Aspirant’s partner network. The lead team was able to move from blueprinting to implementation in less than a month and delivered high-quality work on an accelerated schedule using a new operating model.

The Results

  • Rapid and prioritized quality delivery of custom Salesforce program capabilities to the business – moving from platform selection to first implementation project rollout in less than three months.
  • Framed the program, assembled a core implementation team, and defined a new development operating model.
  • Upfront establishment of a tailored architecture that ensured reliability, efficiency, ease of maintainability, and future expandability.
  • Environment enabled for ease of internal transition.
