How We Work

Our project process.

We run implementation projects with clear requirements, transparent progress, and open communication throughout. Here's how we work with insurance organizations.

Our Role

We're the Conductor

A Salesforce project is like an orchestra. You've got a lot of players: your team, Salesforce, your AMS or policy admin system, integration vendors, phone systems. Somebody needs to make sure everyone comes in at the right time. That's us.

We act as the conductor, keeping everyone in sync. You get one point of contact who manages the whole project. And when it all comes together? The audience applauds the orchestra, not the conductor. We're here to make you look good.

One Point of Contact

We coordinate with all vendors and stakeholders so you don't have to chase people down.

Our Process

The Development Lifecycle

Every feature goes through the same process. No shortcuts, no surprises. Here's how we build.

1

Requirements & User Stories

We determine exactly what you need and write user stories that describe the functionality. You approve each one before we start building.

2

Build in Dev Sandbox

Our team builds the functionality in a development sandbox. This is a safe environment where we can work without affecting your live system.

3

Peer Review

The project lead reviews the build before releasing it to UAT. A second set of eyes helps catch issues early.

4

User Testing in UAT

Your team tests the functionality in a UAT sandbox. Real users validate that it works the way you need it to before it goes live.

5

Deploy to Production

After you approve, we deploy to production and complete any training for your team. The feature is now live.

6

Repeat the Cycle

We move to the next set of user stories and start the cycle again. Continuous delivery keeps the project moving forward.

Transparency

Full Project Transparency

You'll always know where your project stands. No black boxes, no waiting until the end to see if it worked.

Weekly Status Reports

Every week you get a report showing project health, remaining budget, completed tasks, hours logged, risks, and any change requests. No guessing.

Regular Check-Ins

Weekly project meetings via video conference. We review progress, demo functionality, and discuss any blockers or decisions that need your input.

Shared Documentation

All project documents live in a shared Google Drive. User stories, meeting notes, and decision logs are always accessible to your team.

Change Control

Scope changes happen. We document them, assess the impact on timeline and budget, and get your approval before any out-of-scope work begins.
