What is a Center of Excellence? A Center of Excellence Leverages People, Processes, Knowledge, and Technology to drive business value, encourage collaboration, socialize best practices and promote standards across the business Where a “team” of People come together across disciplines and businesses to collaborate and achieve common goals Where Processes are defined for best practices in support of CRM strategy, COE objectives and program success. Where Knowledge experts are utilized to educate and assist the business in meeting their objectives. Where Technology can be leveraged to drive operational efficiencies and achieve strategic vision.

Why Create a center of Excellence? Salesforce is Unique Competing Stakeholders: Sales, Marketing, Service across one or more businesses or regions Delivering on the Salesforce Promise Time to market and easy to change – But discipline and process is essential Rapid Pace of Change Salesforce thrice annually scheduled releases coupled with ever changing needs of the business License Model and Data Management Challenges Adoption is critical to justify investment – Users have a wide span and can compromise data Single or Multi Org Strategy Decisions Organic growth within an enterprise at business unit level or through acquisition

Manage New Initiatives Value Add or Overhead Business Analysis Help Desk Training Salesforce SME Manage New Initiatives Production Support New User Admin Value Add Overhead

Call to Action The only way to continue to provide Value Added Services was to increase the size of the team and create a hybrid support / delivery model. This model had to be able to support the following core components: Governance Business Management Change Management Release Management Support Management

CoE Structure Governance Governance is the processes that ensure the effective and efficient use of technology in enabling an organization to achieve its goals. Business Management Empower the business: know what to deliver, why it is important and the value to the business Change Management Process to manage enhancements, timely delivery to market, prioritization and utilization of resources Release Management Ensure highest quality with structured processes and methodology Support Management Subject Matter Expertize, responsiveness and education Governance Business Management Support Management Release Management Change Management

Resourcing for the Future Onsite team to support business processes and reporting Extended team in IT to provide development support Premier Support for after hours support Consultants for project / initiative resourcing Managed Service contracts during transitions

Summary To build your business case to create a Center of Excellence, utilize these core components: Track and utilize metrics around time spent on various functions such as new user set up, training, production support, etc. Ensure these are quantifiable Use resource guidelines from Salesforce around the amount of admins per user as a starting point Determine your value drivers and which activities are contributing to the success of Salesforce and which are overhead Organize the Center of Excellence structure that is necessary for your business Tell your story – use quantitative and qualitative data to support your story and path forward Measure! Measure! Measure! Do this through reporting and dashboards
