Written by Admin | Aug 28, 2024 11:38:32 AM

 

 As a CIO it only natural to evaluate the performance and the ROI of investing in a native Salesforce release   management solution.

 A successful Salesforce release management system is as much about technology as it is about people and   processes. It is not an isolated process. Therefore, a release management solution needs to be aligned with the   broader overarching business strategy.

 So while on the technology front, a robust Salesforce release management solution helps you release faster and   more often, with confidence, you also need to focus on the ROI and cost-benefit analysis when investing in it.

 Therefore, we designed Flosum as a complete end-to-end solution including built-in merge tools, version control,   continuous deployments, static code analysis, user story management & regression testing tools. It is purposely built   within Salesforce and 100% native to give you strong benefits of the Salesforce platform.

 Why Enterprises must adopt Salesforce release management solution?

  • Complex IT Infrastructure:

 Enterprises have complex IT infrastructure which increases the risk that the release of functionality in the new   release might break, hence there is a need for robust release management. Release management becomes even   more critical if there are multiple technologies or different versions of those technologies.

  • Multiple Delivery Teams Working in Parallel:

Your enterprise IT infrastructure is a collection of a shared environment. As the strength of your enterprise IT delivery teams increases, there is a greater chance that the release efforts will conflict with each other. A Salesforce release management solution ensures better collaboration and higher efficiency gains as it helps standardize and streamline the development and operations process.

  • Support the IT Team

 Your existing IT team may not have sufficient experience in deploying Salesforce solutions into your operational   environment. However, a native release management solution can improve productivity, coordination, as well as   increase the number of successful releases and even reduce quality problems.
