SALESFORCE PROFILE COMPARISON
Implementing Salesforce into your organization is not a one-size-fits-all solution. With certain processes and tasks requiring different access levels, as well as various roles and responsibilities on your sales team, Salesforce profiles are an essential component to crafting the perfect suite of applications and ensuring proper user access. For organizations that don’t have the experience or technical expertise in managing Salesforce profile creation, the task can be daunting. However; taking the time to properly compare profiles, as well as leverage proper salesforce release management, data backup and recovery, and security solutions can be invaluable in making sure that access is properly managed and allocated. To start, identifying the roles and levels of access your organization is the best place to start. Consider current Salesforce processes and the complexity of those processes to get an idea of who should have the ability to create, view, edit, or delete and so that you can begin to create a framework for your user roles and what access they should have. From there, you can begin to compare profile differences, such as field-level security, custom user object visibility, and page layout restrictions. As with Salesforce processes, it can be useful to subdivide the roles and responsibilities of your sales team according to the complexity of the task and access. If you have users who are responsible for submitting tasks as well as managing tasks, consider the fact that managing tasks will require higher levels of access, and add additional roles and profiles accordingly. By separating out tasks into levels, you can also craft more detailed roles and descriptions for each user, and better tailor their training and resources. At the same time, you’ll have to consider more enterprise-level solutions, such as salesforce release management, data backup and recovery, and security solutions. Ensuring that Salesforce profiles follow company policies, release schedules, and that users are properly trained and able to adhere to those policies is essential to keeping data secure and meeting deadlines set by management. Working with a partner to help manage Salesforce release cycles is a great way to ensure that policies are being met and that users are given the right level of access and resources to perform their duties successfully. Salesforce profiles are an integral piece of any successful Salesforce implementation, and they need to be tightly managed and tailored to your organization’s specific use case. Comparing profiles and taking advantage of enterprise-level features like release management, data backup, and security solutions are the keys to making sure that users have the right access and that data is secure and transferred only as needed. By taking the time to properly compare Salesforce profiles and set up enterprise-level solutions, your team can make sure that everyone has access to the resources and abilities they need to best serve their customers.
