In this blog, I ( A Salesforce Consultant) will give a brief introduction of Salesforce and will answer few questions: Why Salesforce? What is Salesforce? What are the services offered by the Salesforce?
Why Salesforce?
1.People who are using Salesforce say it’s unique for three major reasons:
• Fast: If we talk about the legacy CRM system, it takes year to deploy. But Salesforce provides you a fastest path from Idea to App. You need not to think about the infrastructure but building your app.

Salesforce is affordable considering its vast variety of services.
What is Salesforce?
I hope I have answered the above question well, why should we use Salesforce. Now it’s the time to discuss what is Salesforce?
Salesforce.com is a company and Salesforce is a technology. Salesforce.com started as SAAS (Software as a Service) CRM Company. Along with various software solutions, now Salesforce.com provide a platform named Force.com for the developers for building and distributing custom software (PAAS).

I tried to touch the basic technical aspects of Salesforce in this article. We as an organization and Salesforce implementation partner provide Salesforce development services in all the major areas.
The success of any software implementation depends on the user adoption rate. In any organization, a new system is implemented for the betterment of its employees as the new system eliminate some or all redundant process, manual efforts.
Well, it is not necessary that the newly implemented system does the above-mentioned work. In short, it helps in boosting the employees’ efficiency.
The same goes for Salesforce Implementation . If your employees’ are not used to Salesforce environment, then it will be quite difficult for the users to adopt the system and work on it on the daily basis.
“There are innumerable reasons determining why users are not adopting a new system. In the below segment we will be discussing those factors and solution for solving them and getting more and more users onboard.
Training Sessions for the End Users:
It is important to provide full-fledged training, especially to the immediate end users before switching to a new Salesforce solution. Video, tutorial, live demo, webinars on UAT Mode proves to be quite beneficial and helps a lot in adapting.
One can also provide customized training for different users depending on their permission, groups. When the employees attend the training, they share their doubts, feedback about the solution which in turn helps in making the solution even better for the employees.
Prepare the End-users:
It is important to keep your users notified that a new system will be introduced to them for their daily work. You can do this 1 month or 15 days prior to the implementation depending upon the system.
You can start with pamphlets, newsletters, etc., and as the implementation day approaches you can organize one to one training so that user adoption is smooth and the user will also not find that hard to settle with the new system.
User Manual for the users:
It is a good practice to provide User Documentation of newly developed system so that the end users can refer that document whenever they get stuck. User manual with system images gives more clarity and helps the end users to find the solution easily.
Realize your users the need of new system:
It is vital to explain the need for introducing a new Salesforce solution to the end users and what benefit can one achieve from the new solution so that the adoption is less complex.
Implement the new system in sync with the existing business flow so that the users can understand it and find it not hard to adapt it.
Provide support to the end users after implementation:
After the implementation, provide hands-on training to the users and resolve all the queries asked by the users. Sometime, a user may get confused by seeing new user interface may end up asking minor questions. All you have to do is be patient and answer all the questions asked and show them how to achieve it.
