Inside the checklist

See what you pay for in seats, credits and usage, so renewal holds no surprises.
Find out why people still use spreadsheets, and what would bring them back to Salesforce.
Review your data quality and costs before you add new sources or grow your setup.
Plan an AI agent pilot with the right data, permissions, testing and human backup.
Score each area in minutes and see which one needs help first.
Four steps
Even the most capable Salesforce platform can fall short of expectations without the right planning, integrations, and ongoing management. This guide identifies four common challenges and gives you practical steps to address each one.
When Salesforce, ERP, finance, marketing, and support platforms don’t communicate effectively, teams struggle with fragmented customer information and unreliable reporting.
Learn how to: Identify integration priorities, establish consistent data definitions, and build more reliable connections between systems.
Salesforce licensing, MuleSoft consumption, and Agentforce and Data 360 pricing models can make it difficult to forecast your total investment.
Learn how to: Audit current licenses against actual usage, model consumption-based costs for MuleSoft, Agentforce, and Data 360, and build a clear forecast that ties spend to business outcomes.
Unused features, manual workarounds, complicated workflows, and insufficient training can limit the return on your Salesforce investment.
Learn how to: Measure adoption, remove unnecessary complexity, align licensing with user needs, and establish accountability for business outcomes.
Successful AI initiatives depend on reliable data, secure integrations, effective governance, and a clear understanding of consumption costs.
Learn how to: Evaluate Data 360 readiness, establish Agentforce guardrails, and plan AI deployments around measurable business outcomes.
Who it's for
Use it to review customer data, integrations, security, testing and launch readiness.
Use it to connect Salesforce costs, licenses and user access to the results your business needs.
Use it to check data readiness, costs, permissions and testing before expanding an AI or data project.
