Advisory Services VS Staff Augmentation
Still thinking about Advisory Services after our last post?
We understand your focus isn’t trying to stay up to date with all of the requests coming from users, or staying on top of all the latest capabilities and updates. There are a few options when it comes to managing Salesforce — full-time hires, contractors, or on-demand staff augmentation?
With The Apricity Groups Advisory Services we aim to set your address your Salesforce concerns. In this blog, we address common myths about managed services.
Staff augmentation without project management is effective
Salesforce environments are challenging for one admin to manage. To achieve the solution that works best for your Org, you need multiple skillsets. Those skillsets could include data work, custom development, complex configuration, middleware, or even multidisciplinary perspectives such as sales, professional services and marketing.
You might need an industry specialist, an enterprise architect, or possibly adherence to regulatory compliance, like ASC606 or IFRS15. Staff augmentation provides the expertise of a single resource and not a multifaceted team. It not uncommon that a larger support team is needed. Engaging a third party with cross-functional expertise can help identify, define, and implement solutions that drive better outcomes.
At The Apricity Group, we structure services that allow us to consistently deliver efficiencies, value, and real impact for our clients. Our team members have access to a larger group to provide consultation, solution design, and subject matter expertise.
Our Advisory Services are designed to be as cost effective as hiring a single resources and still have access to a wide range of skills. Our teams foster and develop long-term partnerships while effectively addressing business challenges that positively impact your business.
