Tip of the Week – To Lightning or not to Lightning in Salesforce, that is the question

The new Lightning Experience is all the buzz in the Salesforce community since Dreamforce ’15, and with good reason. The Lightning Experience is the most significant update to the Salesforce user experience ever, blending tools you need on your desktop with an interface designed with mobile in mind. But as with everything that’s new, jumping on the bandwagon too early could be a big mistake, and being an early adopter of the Salesforce Lightning Experience may not be the right fit for your business. But how do you know if Lightning is right for you?

Our colleagues at OpFocus have put together a valuable infographic to help you answer this question. In it, they provide a few sample use cases to help you determine if Lightning is right for your business. On the bottom of the infographic is even a handy checklist including items not supported by the Lightning Experience, such as Campaigns, Approvals, and Data.com, to make it easy to quickly identify if you should hold off. Check out the infographic below, and if you’re still not sure, contact your Salesforce consultant today!

Lightning Experience

If you’re a Salesforce junkie like me, this has been an exciting week. Dreamforce is on the horizon, and that means the whole community is already atwitter with excitement. Building on that, Salesforce launched the Dreamforce ’15 app for iOS and Android, which brings the agenda, event info, and the Dreamforce Chatter experience to the palm of your hand. But Salesforce wasn’t done. They told us a little while back that the system would be getting a facelift, and this week’s webcast didn’t disappoint!

The new Lightning Experience is taking the Salesforce world by storm by completely reimagining the Salesforce user interface. It’s looking pretty awesome! Salesforce1 has been making waves for a couple years now, and like with Windows 10, the new desktop interface unifies the Salesforce experience across devices and platforms. New features and significant improvements on old favorites are show these upgrades aren’t just skin deep. And there’s clearly more to come as they expand the Salesforce Lightning Experience beyond the Sales Cloud. Get on the path and start learning about the Lightning Experience on Trailhead, and let us know what you think!
