Three Fatal Fallacies - How to Maximize the Value of OCM

6 Tips to Make Service Cloud Migrations Easier*

1. Be open to process changes

Change management starts from within, and that means creating a culture where change is not only expected, but appreciated.

2. Let processes drive the new solution

To increase user adoption post-implementation, don’t fit your processes to your technology, fit your technology to your processes.

3. Leverage native Salesforce functionality

Customizations are typically a part of technology, but they don’t have to be. Explore Salesforce Service Cloud features that can support your business right out-of-the-box.

4. Get a head start on the data

5. Knowledge article migrations can be tricky

Knowledge articles are often an essential part of a Service Cloud transition, but they can be fraught with complexity. We share tips on what to consider when migrating your knowledge articles.

6. Reporting on day one
