Customers continue to be the most important assets for any organization and to ensure long-term relationship with your customers, it’s important to cater to their needs in the best possible way.
One of the most effective ways of doing so, is to constantly upgrade your products and services, in a way that fulfils the evolving requirement of your customers. In other words, create new version of your products through new releases and upgrades.
If you are leveraging the Salesforce platform, you will have to keep pace with all the upgrades that it keeps releasing time and again.
What is Salesforce Upgrade?
Salesforce releases new upgrade from time to time and to improve the performance, logic, and usability of your software, it is essential to upgrade it to the new version. Besides releasing regular upgrades that could be used to improve a products functionality and performance, Salesforce has illustrated seamless upgrades that are critical to customer success.
Salesforce takes up to five minutes for upgrades and users will not see any difference when using the new Salesforce release. Changes with the new release will not activate by default and only salesforce admin can activate the new features using the Setup menu.
What is the Impact on Interface?
During the upgrade, our customizations are preserved, and Salesforce gives the same effects having the same consequences.
During the upgrade, the Session Id is inactivated, and if any interface is running at that time, we’ll get ‘INVALID_SESSION_ID’ error.
We cannot run our batches during the upgrade period, as the upgrade window can break our batch, we’ll have both valid and invalid data in our org.
To manage this, what we need to do is:
Monitor the validation/deployment results and check the post-deployment steps. If we need to run a batch after deployment checks the execution result of the batch. If it failed, we have to run it again. This has an impact on our scheduling (stop cascade batches and implement a retry every 30 minutes for example)
We need to plan our batches after or before the upgrade period.
We need to implement to run the same batch once again to continue the process without altering the data already processed.
For a batch update to keep data consistency, we need to use transactions. It is native for batch Apex, but when using the API (custom development, ETL connector (i.e. TALEND, dataloader, etc.), we are not able to keep data integrity. The only way to keep it is by creating Apex Webservices that will be accessed by our batch.
Is there any impact on Connected Users?
During upgrade all the users need to invalidate their Session Idso that they are unable to connect the Salesforce until the upgrade process has finished. Users receive an error message letting them know that the service is unavailable during the upgrade and are prompted to log in again when the upgrade is complete.
To manage this, we need to do:
Share an upgrade timeline plan with all users so they know when you will upgrade, and how often
Inform the user when they can log in into the system
Share the new document, if any, if there is a change in the Salesforce UI/UX
Best Practices to be followed
If the Salesforce upgrade is not planned, there might be cases where end-users may not be able to access Salesforce after the completion of the update.
In order to avoid unexpected service disruptions, we may need to take the following actions:
1) Enable “My Domain”
NOTE: “My Domain” is required for customers who have requested the org migration.
2) Update the hard-coded references if any,
for e.g. test-abc.salesforce.com and make sure to update them to the right URLs (for example, <yourdomain>.salesforce.com, abc.salesforce.com) prior to the org migration. Also, if there is any hardcoded Id in the code, make sure to update them dynamically.
3) If the Salesforce org has set up corporate network settings or any email security filters to restrict the access to only certain IP ranges, make sure to update the lists to include the newest ranges. You can whitelist the IP ranges in the Network Setting of Salesforce.
4) If there is an issue in integration following the maintenance, prepare to refresh integrations.
Why to Upgrade and what are the benefits?
Salesforce has the capability to work with earlier released features even if those features are supplanted by new functionality.
Salesforce keeps all customers on a single version—i.e. the most recent version—of the product. Therefore, Salesforce provides the same experience, coolest Feature, advancement on compatibility and the latest bug fixes.
Conclusion
It is very much required to upgrade the Salesforce version to the latest release as it can eliminate the technical risks involved during the implementation. We understand that there could be a service disruption for couple of minutes but it is must have for your organisation since it could also increase your productivity.
As we know that Change is the only Constant, hence we all must go with the flow and suggest the users/clients to upgrade to the newest version as soon as it is live.

Are you facing the following challenges while migrating data to Salesforce?
Tired of deleting the duplicates manually in Excel?
Excel keeps hanging up because of large data?
Applying VLOOKUP again and again for the same data set?
Duplicating the whole data again for UAT and Production environment?
Cannot apply complex transformation to your data set?
If you have answered yes to most or all of the questions above, then the solution to your problem is TALEND.
What is TALEND?
TALEND is an open source software integration platform which helps you to turn data into business insights effortlessly.
When we hear the term “Data Migration”, questions like – What is data migration? Why is it needed? How is it done? etc., pop up in our mind.
This article addresses all the basic queries on Data Migration along with the reasons for choosing TALEND as an ETL tool for Salesforce migration.
Which tool should be used in Salesforce Data Migration?
Selecting the right data migration tool depends largely on your needs. There are several data migration tools, but they won’t be of help if they fail to meet the specific goals and objectives of your company.. Listed below are some points that you might need to consider while choosing an ETL tool.
Let’s understand the Data Migration process before we go ahead and address the aforementioned issues.
What is Data Migration and How Does TALEND Fit in?
As the name itself suggests, data migration is the process in which data is transferred from one system to the other. These transfer systems can be data storage types or file formats. Data from the old system is transferred to a new system through a particular mapping pattern.
The above diagram is a job in TALEND showing how simple it is to extract data from a Source, apply any tansfomation logic and push into different Target destinations.
How is it done?
Source Data: TALEND can be used for importing the raw data from different sources, andprocess multiple types and formats of Source data for exampleFile, Database, CRM or API.
Data Cleansing: In this process we perform the following steps:
Detect and Correct (or remove) corrupt or inaccurate records from the dataset.
Identify incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate or irrelevant parts of the data.
Replace, modify, or delete the dirty or coarse data.
Data Deduplication: After Cleansing the data, Duplicate copies of data are removed from the dataset based on a pre-approved field set.
Data Transformation: In this process we transform the data from the Source to match the Target
Data Upload: After the transformation the data is uploaded to the Target system in which TALEND supports multiple platforms for example Excel, SQL server or Salesforce org.
Why choose TALEND?
Open Source Software: There are no cost implications for using “Talend Open Studio” or “TOS” since it is an open-source software.
Cost is applied if there is a demand for joint data collaboration.
Multiple Source/Target Format supported: We can extract the data directly from Salesforce, transform it, and push it directly into Salesforce without the need of an Excel or any Database. If in any case we do not have an Org to Org connection, we can still extract the data using Excel, manipulate, and load the data into Salesforce using TALEND since it supports all the Excel formats.
Faster: We can process and transform the data much faster than Excel as TALEND provides functionalities in which we can change the format, append new data onto existing one and create or remove columns on the go.
Reusable: In TALEND once the job is created the same job can be used for different target locations we do not need to transform the whole data again for different environments like (UAT or Production).
In the case of any future modification we just need to append the same job and we will be spared from going through the whole process of transforming the data again.
Supports Complex Data Transformation: TALEND provides the tools to perform highly complex transformations and manipulations on the data. It also provided the functionality to write custom scripts in JAVA wherever there is a need for custom transformations
It can also process huge amounts of data which is difficult to manage in Excel.
Conclusion:
While there are several other tools for data migrations in the market, TALEND has become a preferred choice as it provides with the functionality of accessing data more easily, processing it more efficiently and moving it across various target systems very easily.

Maintaining effective customer relationships is the cornerstone of every business undertaking. In fact, it has become a key determiner of success for organizations. Today, forward-thinking organizations are leveraging robust technology solutions like Salesforce to provide superior service to their customers. As a cloud-based CRM, Salesforce helps organizations to accelerate their sales, grow customer loyalty, and augment their marketing capabilities. Most interestingly, it provides teams across an organization the ability to access the latest customer details for streamlining business processes and creating quality services and solutions.
But, for this to happen, organizations require developing a Salesforce integration strategy to ensure that it partners or connects with other important systems, applications, and services. Successful third party integration is critical to turn it into a valuable business tool. The process of integration is beneficial both for users, as well as the Salesforce platform. Besides helping the platform to expand its services, integration services help in improving the operational functionality of the platform, which ultimately allows organizations to increase their customer base. It makes sense to engage with a reliable Salesforce consulting partner to know more about Salesforce integration services.
What is the Need for Integration?
Today, several businesses have realized the significance of integrating their Salesforce platform with other systems and are thus trying to develop point-to-point connections with adjacent systems. However, such integrations aren’t sustainable as there are several touchpoints, which, when integrated with Salesforce, can provide value to an organization such as developing partner ecosystems, dealing with legacy systems, and more. All these will help in uncovering new opportunities to add value to your customers etc. Considering the variety of Salesforce integration needs, the integration process might become challenging and can be addressed using common integrating patterns.
Common Salesforce Integration Patterns Enlisted below are some of the most commonly incorporated integration patterns that can be used to facilitate seamless third-party integrations:
Migration Pattern: Data migration involves moving a data set from one system to the other. The migration pattern involved in integration allows developers to create migration services that are automated and allow the developed functionality to be shared across all the teams in an organization. Developers have the option to set configuration parameters to get access to API calls. This will provide seamless migration of Salesforce data in and out of the platform either basis as and when required via API or on command basis. Developers can also develop reusable services for facilitating periodic migrations while saving considerable time for the users. Data migration pattern can be utilized for other Salesforce integration such as data migration from legacy systems to Salesforce, Consolidating CRM systems, creating data back-up for customers, and more. The migration pattern is particularly useful while handling vast volumes of data.
Broadcast Pattern: It is a one-way synchronization process that helps users to move data from the source location to multiple systems in real-time. As compared to the traditional 1:1 relationship, this pattern implies 1: many connections. Unlike the migration pattern, the broadcast pattern is more efficient as it functions on a transactional basis and facilitates faster processing of data, besides keeping it secure and up-to-date across all the platforms it has been shared across. It is recommended to ensure the reliability of this pattern as it lacks human supervision, and the majority of processes are initiated through push-notifications that are pre-scheduled.
Aggregation Pattern: In contrast to the broadcast pattern, the aggregation pattern helps in migrating data from multiple sources to a single destination system. This pattern does away with the hassle of running various integrations regularly besides ensuring more reliability and data security. The template created due to aggregation patterns can be used by users to merge multiple data sets for creating reports in different file formats. Some of the most important uses of the aggregation pattern include:
Creation of orchestration API that pulls data from multiple sources and processes it into a single response.
Creation of a central data repository that could be used for compliance and auditing purposes.
Bi-directional Sync Pattern: This pattern brings together multiple data sets across the different systems, causing them to act as a single system while allowing them to acknowledge the presence of other data sets that are being transmitted. This integration pattern comes in handy when different systems are required to accomplish other functions along with their specific tasks in the same data set. The usage of this integration pattern allows users to have a real-time view of the transmitted across the systems. Some of the use cases of this system include:
Integrating multiple systems to Salesforce that leads to improved operational efficiency.
Streamlined quote to cash while serving as a system of records for data that requires to be synchronized.
Co-relation Pattern: While this pattern is quite similar to the bi-directional sync pattern, it differs in the fact that it singles out data sets that intersect with each other and provides bi-directional synchronization of scoped data provided that data occurs in the system naturally. This will lead to the creation of new records if they are found in all other systems apart from the concerned one. This pattern only synchronizes objects as long as they are present in both systems naturally and doesn’t discern the origin of the data object. This integration pattern is useful in cases when two systems wish to share data only if both the systems have records that represent the same contacts or objects.
The Bottom Line: Clearly, there are numerous benefits of Salesforce integration for managing data within enterprises. However, to get started using these patterns, you must get in touch with an experienced Salesforce implementation partner who can help you make the right choice. So, develop long-term and strong customer relationships by gaining a unified view of your customers through Salesforce integration.
Data loss poses a severe threat to businesses of all sizes. When sensitive data is compromised or stolen, the financial health, productivity, and reputation of a company take a hit. As data volume is increasing exponentially, opportunities for thefts and breach of proprietary information are rising significantly. While businesses are adopting strategies to prevent the loss of their confidential data, it isn’t entirely possible to avoid the same.
While organizations using robust CRM systems like ‘Salesforce’ might develop a false sense of security as they store their data in the cloud, yet these systems aren’t prone to outages. While Salesforce till now provided data back-up recovery services for retrieving lost data, especially in scenarios such as ‘data import’, which might at times go wrong. However, Salesforce is about to cancel its data recovery services by the end of July 2020.
What makes Salesforce retire from their data recovery services?
Salesforce doesn’t consider their data recovery service worthy enough to be continued due to the time and cost involved in retrieving the data. Apart from this, some data cannot be recovered using Salesforce data recovery services, and an excellent example of it is the metadata. In fact, only data as old as three months can be recovered and is recommended as a last resort that, too while recovering large quantities of data. While the Salesforce recovery process requires you to pay a hefty rate of $10,000, it takes several weeks before you receive the CSV file much before you restore data to your org. What’s more bothersome is that Salesforce doesn’t assure of complete retrieval of data. With such poor services, Salesforce finally decided to call off its data recovery services without any replacement.
Alternatives to data recovery services by Salesforce
Salesforce provides three out-of-the-box options that require manual intervention:
Data Loader: Using Dataloader, you will be able to export all your data manually. With a developer by your side, you will be able to automate the export process easily.
Data Export Wizard: This function enables you to program a downloadable copy of your data. Once the back-up is ready, you will be notified regarding the downloading of the files via email. This allows you with 48 hours to download all the data before they expire.
Reports: The reporting function, just like Data Loader, can be used to export your data. However, running extensive reports can be taxing and time-consuming.
What is the Best Fit?
In such a situation, the best approach is to use third-party applications that are available on AppExchange for data recovery and back-up. However, it would help if you looked out for features like multiple snapshots of data, comparison between production and sandboxes, and data hosting solution coupled with a mechanism for querying data. Since, the Salesforce platform is designed to facilitate integration with third-party tools; it provides for a back-up data solution.
Conclusion:
While it isn’t easy to prevent data loss, the good news is that it is easy to avoid the loss of Salesforce data with a robust disaster recovery strategy. Though Salesforce intends to back out from their data recovery services, it certainly provides for a back-up solution.

Superior customer service lies at the heart of every business undertaking. Today, every customer looks forward to a frictionless and Omnichannel experience from their service providers. So, when customers face any type of friction during routine activity, not just their perception about the organization changes but the brand value of the institution too takes a hit. The banking and the financial sector is under tremendous pressure to fulfill the growing expectations of both customers, as well as its employees. This is because of the legacy systems, outdated processes and changing regulatory requirements that have pressurized banks and financial institutions to balance the provision of personalized customer service with the rising cost involved in meeting their rising expectations.
According to a survey conducted by Finextra and Pega, 90% of premium corporate clients consider switching financial institutions for superior servicing.
To eliminate friction across all touchpoints in the customer journey, banks would require having in place a system that not just does away with the loopholes of the traditional legacy system but is also optimized to provide efficient, personalized and high-end services. Blockchain – A distributed ledger technology has the potential to address the pain points of the banking and finance sector by helping streamline processes and removing inefficiencies. In fact, progressive organizations are adopting this innovative technology solution for overhauling their fractured processes and systems.
How Does Blockchain Benefit the Banking Sector?
Over the past few years, this innovative technology solution has drawn a lot of attention from investors and other banking experts thereby propelling its popularity beyond the Bitcoin fanatics. So, what is so unique about Blockchain that has taken the banking and finance sector by storm? The features of decentralization, immutability, transparency, etc. make it an extremely secure, transparent, and an impossible to alter platform. The consensus mechanism offered by the ‘smart contract’ functionality of this robust platform provides a way for different actors or parties that are a part of the Blockchain, to reach a state of an agreement without the need for an intermediary. By providing access to a ledger that isn’t administered by anyone, Blockchain can provide a wide array of financial services i.e. from record-keeping, third-party transactions, cross-border payments to back-end operations, audit and regulatory compliance in the most secure, transparent and efficient way.
While Blockchain offers endless possibilities for the Banking sector, the challenge for the financial firms lies in identifying the right use case as per their business needs. In other words, the journey of introducing Blockchain into your business model is indeed a challenge? Since the functioning of Blockchain is powered by data (usually stored in multiple places and formats by legacy business networks) it’s prudent to move the company’s database onto a Blockchain. This brings together data from the company’s databases, as well as other parallel systems including its partners’ data.
With this, all the parties will have instant access to a single source of truth (data and other important information) about a particular business process.
How Does Blockchain-powered Salesforce CRM Transform the Financial Sector?
While a robust CRM system like Salesforce offers a centralized location for storing data that comes from multiple sources, combining it with an innovative technology solution like Blockchain can help financial institutions significantly improve their workflows and build reliable partner networks that extend the CRM. Besides extending its’ capabilities of transparency, trust and traceability in every single customer interaction, a Blockchain-powered solution can help break down data silos and business boundaries.
The recently launched Blockchain initiative by Salesforce is the first and one of its kind Blockchain integrated into CRM. Powered by Salesforce Lightning and built using Hyperledger fabric, this low-code platform extends the capabilities of the Salesforce CRM by helping businesses build trusted partner networks that share substantiated and distributed data. Allowing developers to build DAAPS or Blockchain applications with simple clicks and no code, Salesforce powered Blockchain platform can help financial institutions understand their pain points while ascertaining opportunities to advance their business models. In a nutshell, it provides the trust and transparency that the financial sector requires to share with their customers, as well as themselves.
The Road Ahead:
Though banks and financial institutions are under strict regulatory pressure, more and more financial institutions are leveraging the tremendous potential of Blockchain technology to streamline it for transparent, reliable and accessible financial transactions. When integrated with a robust CRM platform like Salesforce, businesses can create new processes and models that can help them accelerate business speed and agility. As a forward looking financial organization, you can draw benefits from a Blockchain powered Salesforce platform by partnering with a reliable Salesforce consulting company.
One of the most crucial aspects of managing a business is creating and maintaining strong customer relationships. To remain relevant, businesses require figuring out ways through which they can consistently fulfill the evolving customer requirement in a hassle-free and streamlined way. An extremely effective way of forging strong relationships with customers is by implementing a robust CRM (Customer relationship management) system that can help organizations take customer satisfaction to the next level.
As leaders in the CRM space, Salesforce has created ripples in the world of marketing and sales. In fact, with its suite of features and applications, this innovative platform is beginning to find widespread adoption across different industry verticals. As organizations across the globe are searching for new methods to make the most of this innovative CRM, let’s take a sneak peek into the technological upgradations that are expected to happen in 2020, which in turn can enhance the experience of the users.
Make the CRM more technology-oriented: Salesforce made quite a few acquisitions in the year 2019, most of which have become highly profitable. Through these acquisitions, Salesforce intends to bring technological upgradations to its future CRM. These upgradations may include orchestrating enterprise data in the cloud, integration of location-based software, AI-powered communication tools, enhancing field service offering in-service cloud and more.
Lightning Platform will come to the fore: Salesforce aims to enhance its Lightning platform (not the classic platform) by introducing several user-friendly features for making it more useful and productive for its users in the year 2020. So, it can be assumed that users leveraging the Classic platform will migrate to the lightning platform. Users looking to make a smooth transition to the Lightning platform can get in touch with a reputed Salesforce consulting company.
Einstein Analytics will be Used for Scaling up AI: Just the way Salesforce introduced powerful features of Einstein Analytics to its cloud service offerings such as financial service cloud, commerce cloud, service cloud, etc. in 2019, there are high chances that Salesforce might introduce Einstein AI to many other cloud service offerings in 2020 as well.
Mobile capabilities will be Broadened: Prioritizing the mobility needs of sales reps is extremely important in today’s competitive business landscape. With the growing need for security, speed, and reliability of customer and enterprise-grade mobile experiences, it becomes important to adapt to the ever-evolving mobility environment. While Salesforce has introduced mobile SDK, which has not just flouted technical barriers but has also broadened its mobile capabilities. In 2020, the market leader is expected to take more steps to expand its mobile capabilities and take it to a new level.
New Industry Verticals to Join the CRM Bandwagon: With every passing year, Salesforce is witnessing more and more adoption by businesses across different industry verticals. This undoubtedly has increased the demand for its services. In the year 2020, Salesforce is more likely to expand its’ adoption to several other verticals including the retail and manufacturing industry. As evidence of industry-specific verticalization, Salesforce has presented Consumer Goods and Manufacturing Cloud as its CRM cloud solution.
The Emergence of Unified Customer Profile: The significance of data in offering superior services to customers cannot be denied. Consequently, a large number of organizations are switching to customer 360 primarily for gathering data from different units of the organization including Sales and marketing. This data can be leveraged to draw meaningful and actionable insights regarding sales forecasts, charting out the marketing plan, resolving customer service issues, etc. With Salesforce making significant investments in customer 360 and Mulesoft, it wouldn’t be wrong to assume that the year 2020 will witness the advent of a unified customer profile.
Conclusion:
As a cloud-based system, Salesforce continues to reign the CRM space. With an array of features, functionalities and applications in its arsenal, Salesforce has found widespread adoption among businesses across different industry verticals. Let’s hope that the year ahead lives up to all the predictions made for and by Salesforce allowing it to grow further and reach new heights of success.

Before zeroing in upon the right platform, businesses need to consider their specific needs. Salesforce Pardot and Marketing cloud are two powerful marketing platforms organizations can leverage to streamline their marketing activities. But before making a choice, it’s essential to delve in a bit deeper to know more about each of them:
Users: While Pardot is positioned for B2B organizations, Marketing cloud is designed for B2C use cases. Since, Pardot caters to the b2b segment, it primarily revolves around lead management as a result of a longer sales cycle. Consequently, Pardot users focus on preparing email campaigns with an objective of lead nurturing. To support lead nurturing, Pardot offers a set of lead grading and scoring tools, which allows users to allot scores basis the actions of customers and their engagement with the emails, website, etc. The features of the Salesforce marketing cloud allow users to offer a completely personalized experience to every customer. From creating roadmaps of the customer journey, planning campaigns and promotion to data management and cross-channel messaging, SFMC with its array of features offers support to different marketing segments. Though the Salesforce marketing cloud has a more powerful and comprehensive marketing suite than its counterpart, it misses out on the sales-and-marketing alignment part i.e. lead scoring. However, it is possible to integrate lead scoring in the Salesforce marketing cloud.
Channels: Since, Pardot caters to the B2B space, users can expect complete support when it comes to channels such as emails, website, and social media. However, cross-channel options are limited in Pardot. The SFMC platform supports various channel engagements as it has in its arsenal several tools that help users to provide support to its customer via every channel including web, SMS, advertising, social media, and email. Each of them can be managed via separate applications on the platform.
Integration: It’s important to know that to leverage the full potential of Pardot and SFMC, a database is required. Though Pardot is commonly integrated with Salesforce’s Service or Cloud (CRM), it also integrates well with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Sugar CRM, and NetSuite. Offering a full marketing suite, Salesforce Marketing Cloud can be integrated with Salesforce solutions such as Sales, service or Community Cloud besides other CRM systems. Though, the platform doesn’t offer a database as a part of the package, a Data Management Platform (DMP) can be integrated into your Marketing Cloud by paying some extra cost.
Price: Since, Pardot and Salesforce marketing cloud serves two different models i.e. (B2B and B2C), they have different pricing structures. For Pardot, the pricing is available online and is segregated in three different categories i.e. basic, intermediate and advanced, basis the automation features one wishes to access. However, there are no standard pricing options available online for the Salesforce marketing cloud. Though the cost will certainly be more than Pardot, it’s more likely calculated basis the volume of data as B2C companies deal with daily customer interactions and transactions. The pricing for the Salesforce Marketing Cloud also takes into account the cost of implementation and the number of users using the platform.
Which is the Right Fit for Your Business?
Both Pardot and marketing cloud have their share of pros and cons. However, the right platform for your business would depend on your specific business requirement and business type. So, it can be inferred that while the Marketing cloud is ideal for B2C customers, Pardot is appropriate for businesses looking to nurture their sales process by aligning the sales and marketing teams. If you are still on the fence regarding the best fit for your business, you must consider partnering with a reliable Salesforce consultant.
