Of course, nothing too fancy there, it was just a training on how to use Salesforce and how to train the users later on, no Admin stuff here. This was music to my ears as I was already falling in love with Salesforce! We spent 3 full days working again on the concepts above, but this time going deeper. The final phase was something called TTT… What on earth could TTT be? Train The Trainer! I was told that I was selected to train our staff (mostly Sales Reps) on how to use the system. uat, I did not know its reason until I took the Platform App Builder course. To login, I was given a login ending with. We were given 2-3 weeks to test the system and all what has been agreed-on during the Workshops. The next phase after the workshops and validating the requirements was the UAT (user acceptance testing). It was founded in 1999, without any support for on-premises model this means that to use Salesforce, your only option was to use their subscription model and, again, this was in 1999, way before the cloud era where everything is “in the cloud”!

We can start with the out-of-box Sales Cloud functionality in literary just few days, we can start with only the required licenses and add more on the go! I think this was the reason why Salesforce is the top CRM tool out there today. We had a lot of meetings and workshops with the Consulting Partner, it started with Webex calls to better align and understand the solution, and later on, bi-weekly workshops to tackle and agree on the requirements of specific Objects:Īfter these Workshops, I had a much better understanding of Salesforce and its functionality, and the most amazing thing was that everything is on-demand in the Cloud. I started working with Salesforce as a customer: at the beginning of 2015, our company decided to use Salesforce and I was selected to be part of the team responsible of deciding-on and passing the functional requirements to the Salesforce Consulting Partner. My name is Walid El Horr, I am a Systems Engineer ans Salesforce Admin, I just passed my Salesforce Administrator and Platform App Builder certifications in July 2016.
