Salesforce is used across the whole organization of Teach for America. TFACT is used under Salesforce as a data base for prospective candidates for the upcoming Teach for America corps. Each prospective candidates' extracurricular activities, school history, personal information, and other relevant information is entered into TFACT of Salesforce. These candidates are then contacted in their final year as an undergraduate and asked if they would be interested in learning more about Teach for America. Students that graduate and enter the workforce are also occasionally contacted if they would be interested as well. Salesforce is effective in helping organize everything into one comprehensive database for Teach for America.
- Have a "Recent Items" category in TFACT that allows for easy access of recently accessed items.
- Have separate categories for extracurricular activities, education information, and others with ability to rate each.
- Allow for each individual with TFACT Salesforce access to contact each other with questions or comments of what each other individual added into the database.
- Each individual can have different access to accounts in TFACT Salesforce. This causes some confusion when communicating across people who have different access capabilities.
- Separate "Accounts" must be created for extracurricular activities which is cumbersome when adding multiple activities into one person's account.
- Allows for a universal database for everyone to access when in need of individuals for recruitment.
- Allows for visualization of connections in a university environment.
- Allows for a rating system of each individual entered into the database.
Salesforce is great to use for large sets of information/data and large companies.
