Three Models
§ Collaborative Center of Excellence (Business Driven) – Information Sharing • Product Usage, Best Practices • Review new Salesforce Features • Evaluate App Exchange Partners – Networking and Collaboration • Lending support, helping identifying Subject Matter Experts § Governing Center of Excellence (IT Driven) – Formal Command and Control Structure – Ensures Adherence to Standards and Processes – Clearly Defined Responsibilities at both COE and BU level – Structured Collaboration between Groups § Hybrid Center of Excellence (Business & IT Driven) Three Common Models One size may not fit all
Collaborative COE Example § Common in companies that are just starting with the COE concept § Less formal reporting relationships – Each of the BU’s have Executive Sales Sponsor and BU System Administrator – There is no formal reporting relationship between COE Leadership team and the BUs § COE team is much smaller
Governing COE Example § Common in companies that are more advanced with COE/PMO concepts – More formal reporting structure • COE Director has dotted line to the Executive Sponsors but may report directly to IT • COE team members are aligned similar to typical project team • Each of the BU’s have Executive Sales Sponsor and BU System Administrator
Hybrid COE Example § Common in large companies with multiple BUs § Has attributes of both Collaborative and Governing models

Defining a Release Strategy Security Reviews Many Few Simple Difficult Level of Effort Immediate Releases Minor (Monthly) Releases Major Releases § Implement immediate changes § Owned by individual sub-group § Minimal impact to the production floor § Minor changes impacting two or more groups § Thrice as often as a Major Release § Minor impact to training and production § Major impact on production and integration § Significant changes such as AppExchange development § Aligned with platform releases § Impact across more than one business unit
Delineating Change Types Sample Definitions Release Type Activities Examples Level Of Effort Immediate Release • Small changes that can be implemented in a short time span and directly in the production environment as needed • Changes can be configured, tested and deployed with minimal impact within a single business unit • DOES NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS • New dashboards &reports • Field positioning • New related lists (existing objects) • New roles • Data Loads • Territory Alignments LOW • No additional training required • None or minimal impact to integration • Potential candidate for Business Administrators Minor (Monthly) Release • Medium level changes that can be implemented with minor impact to the production environment • Changes can be configured, tested and deployed with minor impact to one business unit • New Fields • New page layouts • New custom Objects • New org or sub-org in role or territory hierarchy MEDIUM • < 1 day of additional training required • < 1 week of configuration dev • IT involvement Major Release • Large changes that have major impacts to the business or environment • Changes requiring a significant interface update, data migration and/or integration impact • Major releases should be tracked by a standard naming convention for items such as: Role Hierarchy, Profiles, Page Layouts, Record Types, Sales and Support Processes, sControls • Items that do not need to follow naming convention: Fields, Custom Objects, Reports, Dashboards • New AppExchange app • Process-impacting configuration changes • Data migration impact • Integration changes • Impacts to multiple business units HIGH • 1 day of additional training required • > 1 week of configuration development • > 1 week of integration development • IT led • Use a Sandbox For consistent implementation and support, investment requests should be categorized as immediate, minor or major based on level of effort

Global Standards Model § Establishment of a ‘global template’ or core set of ‘standard’ functionality that all LOBs will utilize as well as guidelines defining the areas that can be unique to each LOB.
Defining & Documenting Org-wide Standards The following areas of func<onality will be covered in this standards guide: § Record Types and Page Layouts § Fields and Field Level Security § Roles and Profiles § Views, ReporAng, and Dashboards § Visibility, Role Hierarchy and Sharing § Custom ApplicaAons and Objects § Workflow and Approval Rules, Workflow Alerts § Email and Mail Merge templates § Use of Apex, Visualforce, S-‐control code § Use of any AppExchange partner tools Example of Cross-‐BU standards: ØAccounts, Contacts § The same Account and Contact Record Types are shared across ALL business units. § The data records are shared and can only have one record type per record therefore any changes to pick lists for Accounts or Contacts will affect all groups and should not be done without full coordinaAon with the CoC. § The Account record types correspond to the business segment account pick list field. If new Account records are created by a System Administrator, the appropriate record type should be selected and the Business Segment Account field should be populated. § New records should ideally be coordinated with the other business System Administrators to ensure no duplicaAon and the other Businesses can go into the new record and fill in their business specific fields where appropriate ØOther En<ty Record Types (e.g., Opportuni<es, Tasks, Events, etc.) § All other enAAes can have specific record types for each business unit. § The naming convenAon is that the name should include the acronym of the business and a descripAon of the record type. § During the record type creaAon process, each system administrator should ensure that the record type is only made available to their own business’ profiles. Otherwise, these new record types will be available for other users when they go to create that type of record. § The descripAon should be filled in for each record type.
Evaluating New Projects § Define communicaAon process for new projects § Projects requests are funneled through CoE § All projects are entered into CoE database (i.e. SFDC) • Capture Business Unit Request • High Level Requirements • Alignment with overall program objecAves • Business Readiness • Timeline for Launch § Reach out to business for addiAonal informaAon/ clarificaAon § Review new project requests as part of CoE meeAng § Determine business priority and alignment with overall Program Roadmap § Define prioriAes in CoE Project Database § Evaluate the short term and long term alignment with the program § Evaluate alignment with ongoing or other pending projects § Determine project fit within the overall BU landscape § Evaluate how project will be supported (internal resources, external resources) § Evaluate post go-‐live support model for the project § Evaluate administraAve needs of the project and ongoing administraAon § CoE makes recommendaAon to the business on the approach and Aming of the project § Communicate pending projects to the Program Steering CommiLee § Communicate decision to the business sponsors § For projects moving forward the necessary individuals should be invited to parAcipate in CoE § Approved projects move into the Org Provisioning Process New Project Submission Project PrioriAzaAon Project Decision Long Term EvaluaAon/ Support
