Project teams working on Salesforce implementation, both on the partner and client side, are formed by a number of people with clearly defined responsibilities. Today we present a description of the functions of specialists who make projects run smoothly, and new tools are successfully adopted in the organization.
Project Manager (PM): A Project Manager who is responsible for managing the entire implementation process. He monitors the work schedule, allocates resources, leads project team meetings, and manages communication between all parties involved. A PM is needed on both the implementation partner and client side.
Salesforce Administrator: the person responsible for managing and configuring Salesforce – usually on the client side. He or she creates user accounts, manages system settings, and adds and modifies fields, reports, and views. As a rule, the Salesforce Administrator gets to know the tool during training provided by a Salesforce partner as part of the implementation.
Salesforce Consultant: a specialist who provides consulting on the Salesforce platform. The person in this position has in-depth knowledge of the platform’s functions, modules and capabilities, and is able to customize the platform to meet the client’s needs and processes. The consultant works with clients, analyzing their business requirements, designing solutions, providing user training, and helping them optimally use Salesforce to achieve their business goals.
