If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good – you’ve come to the right place.

Solution Architects (SA) are consultants who help our strategic client companies develop and implement Salesforce product adoption strategies.

• In projects led by us, we determine the solution implementation method that is suitable for the customer’s needs and business, lead roadmap planning, business process redesign, the development as an application lead, and provide high-quality results. We are broadly responsible for the system introduction stage according to the customer’s needs, from planning, requirements analysis, Fit & Gap assessment, development, and testing.

• In advisory projects, we provide design reviews on functional or technical aspects, project implementation guidelines and best practices for Salesforce adaption, and advice on the introduction or optimization of our own applications, such as setting up and assessing the health of existing applications, according to the customer’s needs.

• We learn and utilize our best practices, and also contribute to the accumulation of knowledge based on our own experience.

• We quickly grasp the latest technologies, including three annual upgrades of our products, and perform them in parallel to support the customer’s projects.
