How To Choose a Salesforce Consulting Partner
AppExchange Platform
The best platform to find the right certified partner. You can find reviews of partner and their products
Use your network
You should ask your network to recommend better partner. There are multitude of informations about potential consultants, their products and projects so they can educate and support you on various queries.
Focus on Experts
Take the lead in your projects by appropriate implementation of experts like certified Salesforce developers, architects and admins.
Prepare good Request for Proposal (RPF):
Use the RFP to start a good discussion and get a list of interested consultants according to your needs because you are on the hunt for people with whom you can have sound discussion rather than evaluating on paper.
Project Management Methodologies
You should understand the project management methodology of your consultant and be sure you feel good about the amount of input you will have on the project throughout.
Ongoing Support and Long Term Relationship
If you are implementing a deep and wide implementation you need to find a partner who has a clear support and account management program as you consider future improvements.
