Salesforce Lightning Platform Review

Incentivized
Paul Mccollum
Senior Lead Enterprise Architect at JP Morgan Chase & Co (10,001+ employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We built a lot of employee facing applications to help them do their jobs, which is a lot of client relationship management, some financial advice, and we use it as a single pane of glass for most of those interactions.

Pros

  • Flexible fast development
  • Interaction with data
  • Making sure that you've got a complete 360 view of your client

Cons

  • Scalability, you have to go outside the product to deal with higher scale, so as soon as you move out of the small/medium business, you are reinventing and refactoring applications to use higher throughput, higher data storage, and a higher IO requirement solutions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Salesforce Content Management System (Salesforce CMS) has helped us to create manage and put content across channels with ease. It helps in tracking data, creating custom content type. It can be integrated with Salesforce Platform and all other Salesforce products. It provides unified view of customer's data The collaboration feature really helps to speed up the process of content creation as it provides real time collaboration among creators and editors.

Pros

  • Content delivery
  • Content creation
  • Content storage
  • Salesforce integration

Cons

  • Sometimes the integrations have a bit lag
  • Cannot think of anything else

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to generate smaller pieces of content personalized to the customer and their business, as well as small landing style pages or emails personalized by the data they have filled in on forms that we have stored in the customer relationship manager system. This adds that little extra touch to the overall experience for the customer journey.

Pros

  • The workflow system connection from the CRM.
  • Building configurator is easy to use.
  • It only takes a small amount of time to train someone to use it.

Cons

  • I find that the more complex you make things it starts to hit load times quite hard.
  • Additional tracking and analytics for the pages/emails would be nice.
  • Version control with autosaves and regular saves so you can tell the difference with 15-minute intervals.

Return on Investment

  • Time to agreements has decreased.
  • Net promotions score has increased for customer satisfaction.
  • Has helped drive cross sells when you create an "also works with" section.
