Challenge

As the bank moved to adopt Salesforce as their CRM platform and build out its functionality, they looked for a partner with expertise in both banking and agile development to help them navigate the migration.  

Outcome

By improving their Salesforce capabilities, the bank has empowered their technology transformation at scale, saving on recurring costs and reducing time to market.

Salesforce is the CRM of choice for many banks, as it offers a wide range of customizations and is user-friendly for employees. However, for organizations with many business processes and teams, it can be challenging to navigate the development required to adapt the platform to specific use cases.     

After building a long-term partnership with Endava on multiple strategy and engineering initiatives, a regional bank sought our experts’ help in developing and customizing their Salesforce solution to fit the growing needs of their business. Broadening their Salesforce capabilities would help the bank improve processes, reduce time to market and enhance customer experience across the organization.

  • Building out Salesforce capabilities in-house
