Challenge: Managing Projects Across Multiple Work Streams to Integrate Internal Sales Processes

When nPower began using Salesforce, their initial implementation was to transition their Desk Sales and Field Sales teams from Excel and Access Database software to a configurable CRM cloud-based system. The Data, Digital and Technology team had numerous development initiatives surrounding their integration of core business systems and onboarding business processes to the Salesforce.com platform. Overall, nPower needed a way for the team to manage and drive these initiatives.

nPower needed one convenient tool for managing projects to drive the delivery of initiatives across multiple work streams to integrate all of their internal sales processes. They also needed to complete a project to implement their credit system in Salesforce which involves integration with Experian and Atradius.

The Data, Digital and Technology team was experiencing many pain points with managing changes from stakeholders in multiple locations outside of Salesforce with Microsoft Project and Visio. Status Reporting and Planned vs. Actuals to upper management was also critical.

All of these requirements made nPower a fantastic candidate for Milestones PM+!
