Three Questions That Will Shape Your Salesforce Dream Team

You run your business on Salesforce. Your employee, partner, and customer experiences depend on it. As you discover new ways to connect with your customers, your Salesforce org supports your growth and success.

You want to keep Salesforce running at its optimal level while adopting new features and innovations, so your company can keep delighting customers, finding new markets, and launching new products. Your internal team is top-notch, but are there options to maximize productivity and value creation? You’ve heard about Salesforce Managed Engineering Services (MES), but how do you know if it’s right for your organization?

Here are three simple questions to help you determine whether you need MES

  1. Are you trying to scale and accelerate your initiatives, but your team is too busy with backlog, ongoing tasks and projects?

  2. Are you facing tighter budgets that impact your roadmap and in need of options to increase speed and cost efficiency?

  3. Are you finding it hard to recruit and retain top talent while keeping abreast of the latest changes in technology?

If you answer “Yes” to any of these questions, it’s time to bring in MES.

MES can be a valuable tool for businesses looking to overcome talent challenges, improve development efficiency, and achieve their strategic goals. MES provides a comprehensive set of solutions for an organization’s engineering and development needs. These services range from initial project planning and software development to deployment and ongoing maintenance. With MES, a dedicated team of highly motivated and skilled experts takes responsibility for delivering specified outcomes and ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget.

Key features include:

  1. Dedicated Team: A team of experienced engineers, developers, QA, Scrum Masters, and project managers work exclusively on your projects, offering consistent and reliable support.
  2. Outcome-Oriented: Focused on delivering measurable results, these services align with your business goals to ensure successful project outcomes.
  3. Cost-Optimized Scalability: Easily scale resources up or down based on project requirements, ensuring optimal efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
  4. Expertise and Innovation: Access a wide range of skills and knowledge, including the latest technologies and best practices, to drive innovation and quality. Tools and tactics enhance project transparency, status visibility, and knowledge transfer.
  5. Risk Mitigation: Proactive risk management strategies are employed to identify and address potential gaps or issues early, ensuring project stability and success.

The Value Spectrum of MES

A strong MES provider can meet you where you need the most value. The MES Value Spectrum starts with tactical value (Task Execution) and then progressively layers in strategic value (Operational Effectiveness and Product/User Innovation).

The beauty of a good MES partner is that it can flex as needed: more support now, less support later, and repeat. Teams initially seeking to reduce costs can advance to the next phase of enhancing operational effectiveness and ultimately focus on product and user innovation.

Good MES partners are highly motivated to deliver outcomes because their success is closely linked to yours. With their Agile mindset, they push teams beyond their comfort zones and prioritize knowledge transfer by cross-pollinating from other regions or industries. And importantly, they accelerate project completion, ensuring timely delivery.

Deciding whether to integrate MES into your Salesforce operations can be a pivotal step toward maximizing productivity and innovation.
