🚀 Navigating Salesforce Mergers with Precision and Strategy 🚀 A recent PwC report expressed that 1 out of 3 Aussie CEO's are planning on making 3 or more acquisitions over the next 3 years! This reminded of a recent blog post I read from Copado's own Aaron Tavakoli. While M&A can signal exciting new chapters, they bring formidable challenges, especially when merging Salesforce environments. 🔧 The Challenge: Salesforce Admins and Developers become pivotal in ensuring seamless integration of diverse systems across organisational landscapes. Achieving synergy during mergers is a monumental task that requires meticulous management to prevent wasted efforts. 📊 Strategic Approach: Merging Salesforce environments is a marathon that could stretch over months or more, depending on complexity. It involves merging vast amounts of data, custom objects, workflows, and apps, demanding tailored strategies to maintain harmony. 🛠️ DevOps and Copado’s Role: In this intricate process, maintaining robust DevOps pipelines is crucial. Copado steps up with advanced CI/CD tools to automate conflict detection and resolution, enhancing transparency and reducing errors during integration phases. This ensures updates roll out smoothly, keeping the business operational without hitches. 🤖 Leveraging AI with CopadoGPT: Our new AI solution, currently in Beta, revolutionizes planning and deployment by automating repetitive tasks, performing complex data analyses swiftly, and providing predictive insights for faster, informed decision-making. 👥 Human Touch in Testing: Despite automation, manual testing, especially User Acceptance Testing (UAT), remains indispensable to ensure each update not only functions correctly but also meets user expectations. 🌐 Conclusion: Merging Salesforce environments presents significant challenges but within that lies opportunities for growth and refinement. With the bright tools, Salesforce Admins and Developers are well-equipped to navigate these complex waters, ensuring the organisation not only survives but thrives. #Salesforce #DevOps #Copado #MergersAndAcquisitions #InnovationInTech Garret Terrien Steven Wong Damien Olbourne Mukesh Kumar Vivek Kumar Matt Hill Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gTqvzzkD

Salesforce's decision to make their core products available on the AWS Marketplace in Australia (and globally) is a significant endorsement of the trust and confidence they have in AWS's scale and reach. By leveraging the extensive infrastructure and broad capabilities provided by AWS, Salesforce can now offer their cutting-edge solutions to a wider audience while maintaining the highest levels of performance, security, and reliability. The streamlined procurement process, flexible pricing options, and consolidated billing offered by the AWS Marketplace also make it simpler than ever for organisations to harness the full potential of their cloud investments. In my view, this strategic partnership between Salesforce and AWS is a significant milestone in the growing adoption of software marketplaces as an enabler for business growth and innovation. As more companies seek to leverage advanced technologies like AI, the ability to quickly access and deploy best-in-class solutions through a trusted platform will be paramount to achieving success in the digital age. #SalesforceOnAWS #TrustedPartnership #ScalingInnovation

Redefining Work Benefits at Australia’s Best Tech Workplaces 2024 In today’s dynamic tech landscape, Australia's top tech companies are setting new standards in employee benefits, deeply rooted in a human-centric approach. These trailblazers are not just offering jobs; they're crafting environments where personal and professional life can harmoniously coexist. At the heart of their strategy is an unyielding commitment to holistic wellbeing, offering benefits like extensive parental leave, flexible work arrangements, and mental health support tailored to individual needs. Noteworthy are initiatives like four weeks of paid bereavement leave, extended personal leaves, and innovative work-from-anywhere policies that accommodate both domestic and international arrangements. These tech leaders empower managers to customise flexibility based on the unique needs of their teams, enhancing productivity while fostering a culture of trust and respect. This approach not only boosts employee loyalty but also aligns with modern expectations of what a supportive work environment should look like. Take Engaging.io, for example, a company that embodies flexibility by allowing employees to work internationally, tailored to their personal circumstances, ensuring seamless productivity through trust and support. Furthermore, companies like AirTrunk are revolutionizing workplace wellness with programs like AirFit, offering personalized wellness allowances that employees can use according to their preferences. These companies are not just workplaces; they are communities that show care in out-of-the-box ways, supporting their teams through life’s ups and downs, beyond the conventional scope of employee benefits. This level of empathy and compassion not only enhances individual well-being but also cements a culture where diversity is celebrated, well-being is prioritised, and genuine care fosters a thriving workplace. https://lnkd.in/gAS2xnT9 #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeBenefits #TechIndustry #Innovation #EmployeeWellbeing #WorkFromAnywhere #GreatPlaceToWork #gptw4all

If “data is the new oil” (back in 2006) , then AWS is perfectly positioned as the new “refinery”. #salesforce is (rightly) betting big on #datacloud being the pipeline provider. (And great to see you still waving the Salesforce flag Amaechi).

37.3% of respondents in the Australian Payroll Association’s Payroll Survey in 2024 reported that poor integration between systems is one of their biggest challenges in managing their payroll, reflecting the difficulties of achieving seamless interoperability between different platforms for payroll processing. But what if there’s a solution that requires less integration because everything you need sits in one system?   Join me and Ben Kropman to learn how a single HCM platform can add value to the way you manage pay, elevate the way you track time, and support your vision for growth. Register for our Dayforce demo on 30 May at 1:00 p.m. AEST and discover how you can make payroll painless for your organisation.

Australia needs a wakeup call when it comes to manager wellbeing. Perkbox data reveals 63% of Australian managers believe there is a growing disconnect between them and their business leaders, with 69% saying business leaders are too detached from the day-to-day business operations — definitely some worrying statistics. Business leaders have a key responsibility here. It’s important we ask the tough questions, and show how much we care. One conversation can make all the difference — so don’t underestimate its power. #leadership #peoplefirst #wellbeing #manager
