Why the Powerful Salesforce Ecosystem Still Needs a Health Check from TechTorch
Our client, a leader in commercial excellence, relies on Salesforce for its comprehensive lead-to-cash capabilities, spanning marketing, sales, CPQ, billing, and support functions. Salesforce’s flexibility allows for extensive customization, but this often results in challenges when customizations aren’t well-architected, documented, or aligned with business needs. As a result, businesses frequently need a clear view of their Salesforce ecosystem’s current status, especially during times of major transformation.
Our client has faced this need during strategic shifts, such as introducing AI agents into the sales process, incorporating subscriptions into their business model, and executing acquisitions or digitization efforts. In these moments, they sought to gain a precise understanding of their Salesforce implementation and the costs associated with its maintenance.
