Going Beyond Technology Services

The Importance of Consulting

in The Salesforce Ecosystem

In today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape, businesses are constantly challenged to keep pace with the ever-changing demands of the digital age. As senior leaders at technology companies, you understand the importance of staying ahead of the curve. It’s crucial to not only initiate digital transformation but to ensure it’s executed effectively. This is where Transformation Advisory Services come into play. 

Why might companies need Salesforce Transformation Advisory Services?

In an era where technology is the heartbeat of every successful enterprise, the need for transformation advisory services has never been greater. Companies, regardless of their size or industry, encounter the need for change. Whether it’s adapting to emerging market trends, consolidating the tech stack, integrating new business units or technologies, or enhancing operational efficiency, transformation is an inevitable reality. Without expert guidance, this transformation journey can be riddled with uncertainties and pitfalls.

Salesforce Transformation Advisory Programs

Why are Transformation Advisory Services worth considering?

Transformation Advisory Services are worth considering because they can help bridge the gap between vision and execution. Salesforce partners that offer advisory services can help drive strategic conversations around the current state and desired future state, assess data, people, processes and systems, and provide a strategic roadmap tailored to your organization’s unique needs and goals. Think of it as a guiding light that ensures you reach your destination with minimal detours. The value lies in the expertise, experience, and proven methodologies that advisors bring to the table.

Why are Transformation Advisory Services becoming more and more popular?

In a hyper-competitive business environment, staying relevant and agile is a constant challenge. Transformation Advisory Services are gaining popularity because they offer companies a means to gain a competitive edge. Companies that have a well-defined roadmap of where they are going are better equipped to adapt swiftly and effectively to changing circumstances and as such are more likely to thrive. 

What is the cost-benefit analysis around Transformation Advisory Programs?

It’s a common misconception that Transformation Advisory Services are an unnecessary, additive expense. In reality, they are a strategic investment. Investing in Transformation Advisory Services can help companies save costs in the long-run, by helping companies identify and address inefficiencies in their prospect-to-cash flow, and ensure technology purchasing decisions, timing of implementations, and the ultimate solution designs are properly aligned. Ultimately, advisory services can help organizations build toward alignment across various departments on the strategy, ensuring everyone is moving in the same direction. By preventing costly missteps, optimizing processes, and maximizing the value of technology investments, these programs often result in significant cost savings in the long run.

How are Salesforce Transformation Advisory projects different from other types of Salesforce projects?

While both are valuable, they serve different purposes. Salesforce Transformation Advisory Services are focused on understanding the current state and desired future state as it pertains to the Salesforce platform, defining strategic objectives, performing pros/cons around key business process and system decisions, and designing a roadmap for digital transformation. Such Services can help guide the “why” and “how” of your transformation journey. On the other hand, other types of Salesforce Services, such as Implementation Services and Managed Services, are more about hands-on work to turn your roadmap into reality.

What challenges do Salesforce Transformation Advisory Services help Salesforce customers solve?

Transformation Advisory Services help solve a myriad of challenges. These include helping Salesforce customers define the vision and desired outcomes, aligning technology decisions and investments with business objectives, creating strategies to overcome potential resistance to change within the organization, streamlining processes for increased efficiency, and ensuring a seamless transition to new technologies.

What does V2’s Transformation Advisory Services model look like?

At V2 Strategic Advisors, our transformation advisory model is centered around a framework we refer to as D(3P), which focuses on the interconnectedness between Data, People, Processes, and Platforms. We have developed this framework over many years, and out experience working with customers who are not simply looking for advisory around technology, but a more holistic approach as technology decisions and investments are not purely about features, functionality and costs–other factors such as data flow, people and culture, and business processes need to be taken into consideration. These four pillars, Data, People, Processes, and Platforms, form the basis of our strategic approach, ensuring a holistic and customized solution that addresses every aspect of your digital transformation journey.
