Not necessarily. You may already have the right people in your organization to build the right CoE. However, experienced vendors might toad many values to the project.
- Qualified staff, up to date with the latest functionalities of Salesforce.
- No need to hire additional full-time employees for the project. An architect can be shared in many projects, so your organization doesn’t have to pay for the full-time job.
- Experience – a vendor like Craftware is already a part of many centers of excellence and understands the needs and processes in the environments.
- Scalability – sometimes there’s a need for rapid scaling to meet the business needs, and working with a vendor can help to achieve this.

Most often during and at the end of the implementation, we conduct training in the Train the Trainer formula. We also often provide more or less support after implementation. However, the goal of the project is for the client to be as independent as possible in the operation and management of the system, which is why we usually enter difficult situations.
What’s more, Salesforce has a unique form of online education on the market. At trailhead.salesforce.com you can find rich training paths that are fully interactive and based on gamification. You can train there in terms of business, consultancy, administration or even programming. -
Is the support of implementation partner necessary after Salesforce implementation? Our aim is that after the implementation the customer is as independent as possible and has one or a few administrators who will be the internal line of support. However, companies often decide on our additional support so as to have an experienced partner at hand in more difficult situations.
