  13. Cardiff Centre for Lifelong LearningSalesforce Migration

  14. Centre for Lifelong Learning • Cardiff Centre for Lifelong Learning co-ordinates, develops and promotes the University’s lifelong learning activities and offers a clear gateway into the University for those unfamiliar with what we can offer. • The Centre provides around 400 Lifelong Learning Courses a year. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) provides short courses for business, public sector employers and the individual. We also provide business language training at all levels, including translation services and interpreters.

  15. Access database • Initially designed as simply a contact management system • Difficult to spot duplication • Hard to identify contacts from the same organisation • No effective tracking of contact made – meetings, mailings etc • Difficult to track contacts / run reporting • Only one user at a time • Number of different places to store information • Enquiries • Bookings • Financial reporting • Tracking of tasks Background

  16. The Search • Investigated a number of different solutions, including: • New Access database • Microsoft Dynamics • Zipporah bespoke system – very expensive • Protime – seemed more for SMEs • Decided on Salesforce • Used by other areas of the University • Multi user, remote access • Good price • Customisable • No need for server to host the system

  17. Detailed planning ensured that system would meet our requirements: • Identifying current processes and sources of information • Highlighting areas that worked and areas that could be improved • Identifying information currently collected and what could be useful in future • Agreeing key reporting metrics • Utilised: • Internal planning sessions • Externally facilitated sessions • Fujitsu Quickstart questionnaire System Needs Needed the system to cover both CRM and event management
