2.

Which teams need it the most? Then compartmentalize which departments get the first updates. After all, it is a new process and tool, and you need to check the organizational adoption rate and behavior to judge if they are ready forit. • Next, you need to figure out how much you are willing to invest in the project. For such a complex tool, of course, development comes at a high cost. But this question is better answered in combination with the ones afterit. • There are multiple types of Salesforce development services available. You can opt for a completely in-house development, an external development team, or opt for a hybrid development approach where the external team does the implementation, but the training and post-development support is taken up by the in-houseteam. • Let’s see the major differences between onshore vs. offshore Salesforcedevelopment. • Inhouse vs. External SalesforceDevelopment Inhouse SalesforceDevelopment: • Close control of team members and their skillsets. • In-house team closely understands current challenges and can therefore build systems that work forit. sales@crmjetty.com

Not to mention there will be no need for more real estate for additional team members, no need for more equipment, and soon. • Compared to this, here’s how it can go with an externalteam: • No need to manage external team members, so you are free to focus on your regular tasks while the Salesforce developers take care of thedevelopment. • Since external Salesforce developers have worked with multiple organizations, they have more experience for what an organization in your industry may need, therefore providing a much more assured path for growth. They will not only solve current challenges but also work on future-proofing solutions foryou. • Apart from that, because they have worked with so many different organizations of varying sizes before, they are also good at collaborating with your in-house teams to get the projectsorted. • You will not have to traditionally onboard them, as they will have their own protocols and methodologies to follow for development and team management. They will also have their own equipment andworkflows. • All you have to do is ensure you communicate consistently with them, so there are no gaps and surprises once the deliverables are done. • We have some experience in being a great external team.
