Salesforce Managed Services: Ongoing Support to Maximise Your Salesforce Investment

What Are Salesforce Managed Services?

Salesforce Managed Services provide ongoing support for your Salesforce platform through a dedicated team of certified professionals.

Instead of hiring multiple in-house specialists or engaging consultants for one-off projects, Managed Services give you access to the expertise you need for a predictable monthly investment.

This enables your organisation to continuously improve Salesforce while reducing risk, controlling costs and ensuring the platform keeps pace with your business.

Typical Managed Services include:

• Salesforce Administration

• Continuous Platform Improvements

• Custom Development

• Process Automation

• Reporting & Analytics

• Strategic Architecture

• Salesforce Health Checks

• Release Management

• AI & Agentforce Support

• Dedicated User Support

Rather than treating Salesforce as a completed project, Managed Services ensure it continues to evolve alongside your organisation.

Why Salesforce Requires Ongoing Support

Salesforce is constantly evolving.

Every year, Salesforce introduces hundreds of new features, security enhancements and platform improvements through three major seasonal releases.

At the same time, your organisation is also changing.

You may need to:

• Create new automations

• Improve reports and dashboards

• Integrate additional systems

• Launch new products or services

• Support new business processes

• Improve data quality

• Increase security

• Adopt AI capabilities

• Meet changing compliance requirements

Without ongoing support, these improvements are often delayed, leading to manual processes, frustrated users and missed opportunities.

Managed Services provide the flexibility to keep Salesforce aligned with your organisation's changing requirements without the cost of employing a large in-house Salesforce team.

What's Included in Salesforce Managed Services?

A comprehensive Managed Services partnership should cover every aspect of your Salesforce environment.

Salesforce Administration

Day-to-day administration keeps your Salesforce platform secure, reliable and easy to use.

Typical administration services include:

• User management

• Profiles and Permission Sets

• Security configuration

• Page layouts

• Record Types

• Validation Rules

• Data imports

• Duplicate management

• General platform administration

Having experienced administrators available ensures users receive the support they need while maintaining data integrity across the organisation.

Continuous Improvements

Salesforce should never stand still.

Every month there are opportunities to improve user experience, automate manual processes and enhance productivity.

Managed Services provide ongoing enhancements such as:

• New fields and objects

• Page layout improvements

• Process refinements

• Additional automations

• Enhanced user experience

• Dashboard improvements

• Workflow optimisation

Delivering regular incremental improvements often provides significantly greater long-term value than waiting for another major implementation project.

Custom Development & Automation

Every organisation has unique business requirements.

Managed Services provide access to experienced Salesforce developers who can build bespoke solutions using:

• Salesforce Flow

• Apex

• Lightning Web Components

• Custom Applications

• APIs

• Third-party integrations

• Advanced automation

Whether you're integrating external systems or developing entirely new functionality, continuous development support ensures Salesforce evolves alongside your business.

Reporting & Analytics

Good decisions depend upon accurate information.

Managed Services help organisations develop meaningful reports and dashboards that provide visibility across sales, customer service, operations, marketing and executive performance.

Rather than simply building reports, experienced consultants help ensure your organisation has access to accurate, reliable data that supports informed decision-making.

Strategic Architecture & Roadmap Planning

Salesforce should support your long-term business objectives.

Managed Services include strategic guidance to help organisations:

• Prioritise future improvements

• Improve system architecture

• Reduce technical debt

• Plan integrations

• Increase scalability

• Adopt Salesforce best practice

• Align Salesforce with business strategy

Regular roadmap planning ensures your Salesforce investment continues to deliver value as your organisation grows.

Salesforce Health Checks

Even well-managed Salesforce environments benefit from regular reviews.

A Salesforce Health Check identifies opportunities to improve:

• Security

• Performance

• Automation

• Data quality

• User adoption

• Technical debt

• Configuration

• Platform performance

Proactively addressing these areas helps reduce risk while improving the overall health of your Salesforce environment.

Salesforce Release Management

Salesforce delivers three major platform releases every year.

Each release introduces hundreds of enhancements, but many organisations simply don't have time to evaluate what's relevant to their business.

Managed Services include reviewing each Salesforce release, testing new functionality, assessing business impact and implementing valuable new features where appropriate.

This ensures your organisation continues to benefit from Salesforce innovation while minimising disruption.

Supporting AI with Agentforce

Artificial Intelligence is transforming how organisations use Salesforce.

Agentforce enables organisations to deploy intelligent AI agents capable of assisting employees, supporting customer service teams, automating repetitive tasks and improving customer experiences.

However, successful AI implementation requires more than simply enabling new technology.

Organisations need:

• High-quality data

• Well-designed business processes

• Secure user permissions

• Effective automation

• Governance and compliance

• Ongoing optimisation

Managed Services provide the expertise required to prepare your Salesforce environment for AI while helping you implement, monitor and continuously improve Agentforce as your organisation evolves.

As Salesforce continues investing in AI, organisations with proactive Managed Services will be well positioned to adopt new capabilities quickly and confidently.

Why Organisations Choose Managed Services Instead of Ad-Hoc Consultancy

Many organisations only seek Salesforce support when something goes wrong.

Unfortunately, reactive consultancy often results in:

• Higher costs

• Slower delivery

• Limited understanding of your business

• Delayed improvements

• Growing technical debt

Managed Services provide a proactive alternative.

Your Salesforce partner develops a deep understanding of your organisation, users and long-term objectives, enabling enhancements to be delivered more efficiently and strategically.

Rather than simply fixing issues, Managed Services focus on continuously improving your Salesforce platform.

The Benefits of Salesforce Managed Services

Organisations typically experience significant long-term benefits, including:

Predictable Monthly Costs

• Monthly support plans provide budget certainty while avoiding unexpected consultancy costs.

Faster Response Times

• Dedicated support ensures issues are resolved quickly, reducing disruption to your organisation.

Improved User Adoption

• Regular improvements make Salesforce easier to use, encouraging greater adoption across the business.

Better Return on Investment

• Continuous optimisation ensures your Salesforce platform delivers increasing value year after year.

Access to a Complete Salesforce Team

• Instead of relying on a single Salesforce Administrator, Managed Services provide access to specialists across administration, development, architecture, automation, integrations, reporting and AI.

This gives your organisation a broader range of expertise whenever it's needed.

A Future-Ready Salesforce Platform

• Ongoing strategic guidance helps ensure your Salesforce environment remains secure, scalable and ready to adopt innovations such as Agentforce and future Salesforce technologies.
