Enterprise & Solution Architecture Services
Salesforce typically does not exist as an island in your Enterprise. Instead, it can be woven seamlessly into your System Landscape with the appropriate integrations and data flows. A project is best when it is designed for today’s technical and business challenges, while also keeping in mind future growth in complexity and volume. We built our reputation in the Salesforce ecosystem by tackling these challenges with efficient and supportable solutions.
Knowing the capabilities, limits and boundaries of Salesforce Configuration and Flows is important. There are times when the best, most optimal, approach is to use Custom Code (and maybe Lightning Web Components) to create a more scalable and maintainable solution.
Salesforce Standalone
For some projects we have designed solutions that reside completely on the Salesforce Core Stack. Others may require a wider variety of Salesforce components.
Salesforce and Multi-Systems
With complex business or technical challenges, systems can grow to include Heroku, MuleSoft, Private Clouds and more. These can require selecting the optimal components tailored for the specific business, technical, and integration requirements.
Looking to have Salesforce integrated with one or more systems?
Doing an ERP Integration?
Are you using a Middleware like MuleSoft?
Salesforce Integration Architecture Services
We bring many years of integrating Salesforce with a wide variety of external systems such as ERPs, Databases, Customer Systems, and other Clouds. This allows us to provide trusted experience in bringing these systems together, either with focused point to point solutions, or utilizing a middleware solution.
Salesforce rarely exists as a data island, instead it can be integrated with a myriad of external systems. These integrations can come in many different technologies and patterns, depending on the business requirements and technical capabilities.
For example, you may have a requirement for when a Salesforce Opportunity “Closes” in Salesforce, to push the records into an ERP such as Oracle or SAP. There are a number of ways this could be accomplished, providing “near real time” transfer using API calls or Platform Events.
One or more of these “Flows” can work together to provide a seamless solution.
Additionally, the system needs to be designed to handle potential errors or system events and provide the necessary level of monitoring and alert notifications.
From the start of a project, it can be best to start building common documents for Object Models (Logical and Physical), Flow SwimLanes (Showing steps between API Layers and Systems), and Data Dictionary/Mappings - (Object, Fields, and Transformations).
Integration Expertise
DevOps & Center of Excellence
Is your team facing challenges implementing standards?
Are your in-flight projects moving along as smoothly as you’d like?
Is your DevOps Release Process effective and efficient?
DevOps & COE Advisory Services
We can review existing standards for the deployment process or COE for Salesforce development and provide recommendations and coaching to your team to help them evolve their processes. We can provide guidance for DevOps and Governance. In addition to Salesforce expertise, we are Copado certified.
For an Enterprise Customer, adopting, deploying, and supporting Salesforce can go beyond just managing a single Development Team pushing a couple of Sandboxes prior to Production.
Changes in the Salesforce Platform across the Enterprise can be more effective with:
COE (Center of Excellence)
Manage best practices across users & development teams
Architecture Review
Provide active reviews of design and development choices to ensure components work together for a scalable solution
Change Management | Change Control
May start with managing requested changes, through development & coordinated deployment
Release Management
Coordinate & track development releases through the Sandboxes to Production. Managing synchronized Sandboxes and any necessary Back Deploys.
Managing multiple development streams and deploying through a number of Sandboxes requires the establishment of a clearly defined Environment Pipeline and efficient DevOps process. This typically requires going beyond Change Sets and into a process using Source Code Control and an automated Deployment Server (such as Jenkins, Copado, Gearset, etc).
There are a number of approaches for Software Development using Salesforce. These can range from dynamic Agile to traditional Waterfall, or even hybrids of both, or just ongoing development using Kanban.
