Session Number: 9761
Date: Mon, Feb 27th, 2023
Time: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Description:
The need for a powerful CRM that captures the student lifecycle while making the jobs of our student facing staff easier was expressed by nearly all of our nine colleges. In 2018, Boise State University launched a search for a platform that could meet our needs. We are just beginning our Salesforce implementation. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Salesforce project took a few years to get started. We will share Salesforce best practices for success and how those got us to a successful kick off. Salesforce’s Education Data Architecture (EDA) documentation is a great place to orient yourself with the application; however, like most schools our PeopleSoft data does not fit easily into the EDA. We will discuss the challenges we faced with data modeling and how/why we configured our EDA org. In this session, we will share our process for data configuration, best practices, lessons learned, and talk about the future of this complex project.
