Migrate your data to Salesforce and build low-maintenance and high-performing data integrations to get the most out of Salesforce and make it a "go-to" place for all your organization's customer information.

When companies choose to roll out Salesforce, users expect it to be the place to find any and all Information related to a customer—the coveted Client 360° view. On the day you go live, users expect to see all their accounts, contacts, and historical data in the system. They also expect that data entered in other systems will be exposed in Salesforce automatically and in a timely manner.

This book shows you how to migrate all your legacy data to Salesforce and then design integrations to your organization's mission-critical systems. As the Salesforce platform grows more powerful, it also grows in complexity.
