#SalesforceSustainably

Why you need a Salesforce Architect on your team

and how to find one (hint: call us)

Why do Salesforce projects go wrong?

Failure to gain users' trust
Very narrow, short-term requirements
Buying detailed projects without a roadmap
Hiring without fully understanding the roles
Buying too many point solutions
Lack of alignment between the business and IT
Absent or inattentive sponsors
Adding to and living with complexity

“We know the potential is there, but don’t fully understand the complexity of the system.”

“We are frustrated with an implementation that went off the rails, and can’t find the guidance to move on.”

Before you know it, your project is stuck.

Your inbox is a sea of feedback from angry users
The team can't agree whether it's a Case or a custom object
It feels like the Build stage will never end
Another week, another new Visualforce page
The next super-exciting demo...(it's not live yet)
...and you're wondering how you get back to Green on the RAID Log.

Time to recentre.

"Practical, iterative and down-to-earth. Avoid the big-bang delivery that fails and take on these guys to craft a solution that iterates along with your business's ability to adapt to change."

"The Architech Club certainly lived up to our already high expectations. The whole experience was a breathe (sic) of fresh air and reinvigorated the team. The project allowed us to reconsider our perception, boost our output and achieve longstanding challenges."

"Gemma has been a great help to us in our implementation of FinancialForce PSA. Vitally, Gemma has a great blend of product knowledge coupled with a deep understanding of the Salesforce environment.

"More than anything else though, it's Gemma's pragmatic approach to problem solving that really marks her out as a someone you want to have on your team. When Gemma's there, things get done and they get done well.”

"Honest, thoughtful, intelligent architectural support for a fast growing business. Fascinating ability to do live visual solutioning was very helpful to all staff involved. The support and assistance was critical to augment architectural solutioning during a very busy time."

"Professional and extremely knowledgeable team that helped us navigate the difficulties of an org migration. We'll certainly be using The Architech Club again for future projects. Highly recommended."

“We had had various experiences with implementation partners before TAC. Each of them come with their own challenges. The architect came in, got to grips with our entire business very quickly, was able to advise where we should invest in using partners and guide us in how we could manage Salesforce ourselves.”

"I couldn't be more happy or impressed than how I am right now with how our project has delivered the results we desperately needed."
