4Key Ideas to Take Away
- What should we consider as we approach Go-Live?
- Gather ideas and learn from other customers who
have successfully gone live. What did they do as
they approached their go-live? - How can we use Salesforce to benefit our
organization? - Learn how other customers have benefited from
their deployments. What improvements did they
see? How do they measure success ? - How do we support what weve built?
- Understand how other customers deal with
enhancement requests and support issues for their
own users. What process has worked for them?
How do they continue growing their application? - How can we manage testing and training?
- Gather ideas on how to approach testing and
training for end users. How have other customers
tested and trained leading up to go-live? How
have they trained since? - Where do we go next?
- See how other customers are carrying forward the
momentum from their go-lives. Where are they
taking their applications and process next?
