When it comes to Salesforce, there’s a lot to think about. 

Robust business technology strategies know that while Salesforce is powerful and a huge uplift for any organization’s customer relations, it can also get very complicated very fast. When you consider the amount of data, integrations, and resources required to maintain a truly valuable data hub in Salesforce, it takes a considerable amount of time and effort to make it work. And the larger your organization is—more partners, more users, more regions, more customers—the more overwhelming it can be. 

But when all the tools you need to attain and maintain the ideal Salesforce org come from one partner, that’s one thing simplified you don’t have to worry about. 

Infosys and Simplus have one of the leading Salesforce practices in the world, and part of that practice is a large library of tools to accelerate and drive efficient Salesforce dev and ownership for our clients. Let’s dive into just six of the most popular tools you can enjoy when you partner with Infosys and Simplus:

The Infosys Problem Management Analytics (PMA) solution is a great tool for driving more visibility throughout your organization.
