Typically our customer service team lead is able to either educate her team on how to use the system in a best practice manner to accomplish their goal or make changes in the configurations. We also have a Salesforce admin who we vet the feature requests with before making system changes. We try to minimize system config changes.

General technical knowledge and aptitude. Should be a proficient Salesforce administrator, but does not need to be a certified admin. You may also need IT support to configure the more advanced options like integrated phone systems and email addresses. If you want the more advanced options, you should have a certified Salesforce admin or a integration specialist.

Our System Administrator completed the ADM-201 training class with Salesforce. This enables her to make the necessary changes on the backend without engaging a full consulting company. She also attended Dreamforce and actively uses the forums/help sites for ideas and best practices.
