We use Salesforce.com within our organization as our CRM. We also utilize Salesforce.com as a store for our clients' information to enable us to better support and serve our customers and their billing needs. We utilize the reporting and storage capabilities to store our customers' information. The security features that SF offers are one of the key selling points and also being HIPAA compliant.

Salesforce is being used by our sales department, billing department as well as the implementation team. In terms of how it's used I can only speak for how our sales team uses it. It's where all of our leads sit. Anywhere from potential client information to relevant data information used to help our conversations progress. We have spaces to enter data based on conversations and changing over leads to accounts once they become a client or are going through the process of potentially becoming one. It keeps us extremely organized. It's our centralized place to manage leads day in and day out.

We started by using Salesforce in just a couple of departments independently. It worked so well that now we are expanding it to every aspect of the business and moving to a consolidated single instance model to reap the benefits of a single source of data and a platform that is consistent across the company.

We use Salesforce to allow our customers to create help support cases and have it act as our customer resource management (CRM). Salesforce is used to track potential customers, see the price point, all customer interactions, project timelines and much more. It is quite a versatile tool used to track our customer’s success.

Salesforce is being used across the business and organization. We are growing our footprint of the usage everyday. The sales cloud is widely used. We also use the service cloud. It gives one place for the business directors and VPs to have a snapshot of the sales and opportunities and the growth of the business.

Salesforce has been a great resource for my organization. It is being used across the whole organization as a way to streamline and solidify our customer relationship management needs, making it extremely simple to track and monitor deals throughout the entire sales process. It is a great way to involve other departments, such as marketing and operations, on status updates on deals.

We use SF across multiple departments, but not all. It's used at our central location for all of our customer and opportunity information - it's particularly useful for managing the communication about accounts between the Business Development team, Sales team, and the Customer Success team. Having a central location for it all is particularly useful because we are all spread between 4 different buildings in 3 countries.

Salesforce Lightning is a great CRM tool with a user-friendly interface. It's being used by sales, sales ops, and marketing. We use it across the company to have good visibility of each opportunity. This helps management get good forecasting and make educated decisions. Regarding business problems, I think Salesforce Lightning can be overwhelming since there are so many tabs and integrations. Most of the time, it is time consuming to find the information needed.

Salesforce is a unique interface that allows us to have finance, sales, supply chain, and strategy information in one click. It's very fast for us to track all the improvements done in sales, and we have a clear view of the forecasts and we can see all business opportunities in short, medium and long term.

Salesforce is currently being used by many departments and groups in our organization. In our specific group, we use it on a daily basis for sales operations purposes. It allows us to track data and sales results that we use for sales compensation reporting. This system is easy to use, and we link it to other systems at our organization as well.

Salesforce Lightning is used as our CRM for our entire organization, gets daily use from everyone in sales, tracks revenue for our financial team and data for our operations and analytics teams. It allows all of our sales team to track progress on individual prospects and accounts. It's a record keeping machine that allows everyone to see what stage of the funnel each account is at while also tracking historical progress within accounts. It's good for identifying trends, both good and bad, and providing data that can alter the way we prospect in the future.

Salesforce Lightning Platform is being used across sales and marketing currently. We use it as our single source of truth for all prospect/account engagements. Any interactions had with clients or prospective clients will be logged in Salesforce Lightning Platform. The main business problem it addresses is allowing our sales force to stay aligned and organized as we scale.

The Sales Team uses this to make sure we are best utilizing the resources we have within Salesforce. We use the options available to make sure that interactions with customers are recorded and easily accessible for future use. We also make sure to use this to seamlessly integrate our marketing and sales teams with all client efforts. I have used Salesforce in both of my most recent jobs and it has been a life saver for customer interaction and information logging. It is truly the most integrative CRM on the market.

Currently, we have multiple projects (more than 3 digit number ) which are implementing Salesforce Lightning Solution across clients. It is being used in multiple industries such as Healthcare, finance, Banking, Public sector, Media , Telecom and Many. So we can say it is used across our Organization. Salesforce Lightning has solved problems like mobile compatibility, Robust and Strong framework residing on the cloud network. We have been able to solve customer issues from Bad user experience, slow page response and query calls. Salesforce Lightening is the strongest platform ever that is trending in the market currently.

We use Salesforce Lightning across the company, however, the Sales team uses it the most. I use it to communicate customer leads to our Sales team, and include the customer's note. This allows our Sales team to contact the potential lead with details like where they are hoping to build a house or perform a fix/flip project. Additionally, the Sales team can then provide information about how hot the lead is, or if the borrower is even qualified in the first place. It saves a lot of time having the information available to everyone.

This platform is a fantastic tool to hold all of the information I need to document about the high school students I work with. There are options for every piece of data + more! I can easily organize everything in a concise way and it's overall very easy to navigate.

Salesforce App Cloud is being used by my organization in all departments, from sales, marketing, customer service, and management. It addresses that overload of work and the number of students we have across the world. The only way to organize thousands of worldwide students is by using Salesforce App Cloud, which will enable you to store, organize, and look up any history in any folder you want. Even if you forgot the name of the student, the Salesforce App allows you to find your files through several components such as member ID, number, name, family name, country, type of student, etc. With such professionalism, the flow of work is easier and we can use time management in a more efficient way.

Salesforce Lightning is used by our whole organization to connect field and office employees and communicate more effectively on account management. The software automates tasks in order to flow our business cycle for onsite training visits and account oversight by success management in between visits. Our teams are able to share documents and communication with accounts between visits and support phone calls.

Our entire organization uses the Salesforce App Cloud to manage all of our donor, program, and vendor/external partner data. When building out our Salesforce, we made sure to include fields for all the data we would need. This allows us to effectively store and find our data, even from different departments. This is a central location where all of our data lives and allows for the development team to find information about donors and foundations. It allows our program team to find information about our students and their families and stay up to date on their school performance and other external factors that might be affecting them.

Salesforce Lightning is the updated version of Salesforce. It is a great CRM that is used by sales and marketing to manage accounts, leads, and outbound prospecting activity. All of our activity is logged through Salesforce. I find the UI of Lightning both sometimes a little easier and sometimes a little more difficult to use than the previous version.
