What the client needed

A firm needed to understand a greenfield Salesforce implementation with a focus on customisation and configuration: definitions and examples of simple, medium and complex components in Industry Cloud, the person-hours for industry data-model setup, OmniScripts and other key components, and how those components affect timelines and success.

The brief

The questions on the table

As the client wrote them, lightly shortened. Client and respondents are not named.

  1. Q1

    What counts as a simple, medium and complex customisation component in Salesforce Industry Cloud, with examples?

  2. Q2

    What person-hours do industry data-model setup, OmniScripts, FlexCards, integration procedures and other components typically take?

  3. Q3

    How do these components move the timeline and the risk?

The hours

What the work involved

  1. 01

    Component catalogue

    Simple, medium and complex components with examples, as a solutions architect classifies them on a real estimate.

  2. 02

    Effort model

    Person-hours per component type, with ranges and the drivers — integrations, data volume, number of personas, regulatory rules.

  3. 03

    Timeline and risk

    How component mix changes the plan: what to build first, what to prototype, where programmes slip.

  4. 04

    Cross-check and session

    A Salesforce architect with a decade in European implementations checked the ranges; one session with the client.
