Our Challenge

• Why Salesforce?• Global team of Sales and Consulting personnel required a readily accessible

system on multiple devices• Customizable Forecasting

• Pipeline Management (Security)

• Ease of Use

• Timeframe?• Initial implementation was three (3) months for Enterprise Field Sales and

supporting personnel (110 users); onboarding Global Consulting team was a subsequent three (3) month effort

• Why integration was so important?• As we were only moving one group and supporting personnel for the initial

implementation, integration & synchronization with legacy on-premises CRM was critical path

Page 17: The Importance of Integration to Salesforce Success

17

Why Informatica Cloud?

• Time was of the essence

• Sales cycle was accomplished with zero demos as we were already using Informatica Cloud prior to the Sales process being initiated

• Requirements for synchronization and replication of data

• Cloud-based ETL required no infrastructure costs/changes, and aligned with our IT direction of on-premise downsizing
