5 - Mapping and activation.
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation
  • We should have had an in-house team, not just one person reasonable for the implementation in-house.
  • The mapping process (SFDC to SilverPop) was a bit daunting. Have a team to plan and review.
  • Bi-directional versus one way syncing was a huge issue for us. The initial implementation caused problems and overwrote a good bit of data in Salesforce.
