Are your interested to know more about Marketing Cloud? I started on my Marketing Cloud Journey 3 years ago and in this session I share some keys things I have learnt.

Join me in this session where I will talk you through some of the key differences which will accelerate your transition. This session is about the things that are not explicitly stated in the documentation, the things that took me trial and error.

Customer onboarding a process to increase adoption

Companies invest a lot of time, effort, tools and resources to help convert prospects into paying customers. But what happens once the sales deal is closed/won? We have to act fast to prevent buyer’s remorse and ensure stakeholders and everyone interacting with your product are set up for long-term success.

Customer Onboarding is not just a critical phase but a process that sets the tone for the relationship people ultimately have with a product  – which is why it should not be an afterthought.

In this presentation, I will walk you through my experience in setting up a process from the ground up with limited resources, that saved my team a lot of time, measurably increased adoption, customer retention and allowed the company I work for to scale.

Whether you’re behind a growing startup or the admin hero in charge of user adoption (and everything else in between); you can borrow tips from this approach to build your own plan, get out of the firefighting mode and set your team and your customers up for success.

What are my users doing ? Feature adoption trancking

Most of us have a rough idea about records created, fields filled and maybe some user feedback. When
it comes to detailed information about buttons clicked or pages viewed, we usually have no hard data
but rely on guessing.
Only with accurate data about feature adoption we can analyze adoption and therefore identify
problems as well as priorities further development.
In this session we will explore why to track, what to track and how to track. At the end you are able to
implement your own Feature adoption tracking and draw conclusions from the data.
Key Takeaways:
– Why track feature adoption
– What to track
– How to analyze the data
– How to implement feature adoption tracking

Mastering the order of execution

It’s easy to build amazing solutions on the Lightning Platform with ‘clicks not code’ automations and programmatic logic really fast. Yet, while the org grows, it’s getting harder and harder to make your solution robust and sustainable.
The ‘Save Order of Execution’ is one of the most crucial points in designing applications that run smoothly and scale well. Admins and developers alike need the knowledge about the things that happen after you push the ‘Save’ button to navigate around a major trouble spot.
I am going to guide you through the ‘Save Order of Execution’ and showcase some typical trouble spots. You will learn how to remedy typical problems and how to design an app that is optimized for scale and performance in the database cycle.

Salesforce CI:CD – A strategy for success

Somewhere on your journey using Salesforce (as an Admin or Developer), you’ve came across changesets & single org development. You’ve surely had to keep track all of your changes in a separate external location & had to make sure that you don’t override your colleague’s changes. Let alone having more than one team working on separate tracks on the same Org, who end up overriding each other at deployment time. In this session, we’ll discover, together, how having the right CI/CD strategy will help overcome those challenges & beyond; how it helps satisfy all parties involved in a project: from Business to Development & change management & end users.

SF + Blockchain for the dev of a credentials verif system

ISDI has developed the first solution that integrates Salesforce and Blockchain in order to permanently store student credentials, badges and academic records. This communication between Salesforce and a distributed database like Blockchain provides a solution to safely certify any kind of student data, resulting in a trustworthy way of backing up the digital track of any student in ISDI. Moreover, this solution allows the definition of rules in Salesforce to generate custom student badges that are  automatically stored in Blockchain so they can be easily shared and validated by anyone. This generates trust and at the same time offers gamification  elements for the entire ISDI ecosystem.
