Solution Engineering
The Solution Engineering team is a group of professionals that have one foot in the technology camp, and one in the commercial side of the business. Solution Engineers work primarily with the sales teams to give their customers the confidence to move forward with their projects using Salesforce as their preferred technology. They are experts in Salesforce’s applications, platform, and technology, but explain it in terms of the business impact and value it delivers.
Key to this is unearthing and understanding the customer’s business imperatives. This is done through workshops, research, investigation, and spending time with key stakeholders. Solution Engineers then map Salesforce’s technology to these imperatives and prove how Salesforce uniquely addresses the customer’s requirements. This proof can be as simple as a one-off meeting, or involve a complex account strategy involving large teams.
