Salesforce Administration Services — Case Studies

Client: Regional credit union with 1,200 employees and $4.2B in assets under management, operating across 23 branch locations in the Pacific Northwest.

Challenge: The Salesforce Administration Services engagement was triggered by a failed regulatory audit revealing 47 security gaps in their Sales Cloud deployment. Customer PII was accessible to 340 users without proper authorization, and audit trails were incomplete for loan application workflows. The institution faced potential $2.1M in regulatory fines if gaps remained unaddressed beyond Q4.

Solution: Smartbrain.io deployed a team of 2 Salesforce Certified Administrators and 1 Security Specialist for a 10-week engagement. The team conducted comprehensive security audits using Salesforce Health Check and Event Monitoring, redesigned the entire permission set hierarchy from 89 overlapping profiles to 12 role-based permission sets, implemented field-level security for 156 sensitive fields, and configured Shield Platform Encryption for SSN and financial data. All changes were validated in full sandbox before production deployment.

Results: The credit union passed its follow-up regulatory audit with zero findings. Security incident detection improved by 340% through implemented Event Monitoring dashboards. The $2.1M regulatory penalty was avoided, and the project delivered 4.2x ROI within 6 months when accounting for avoided fines and reduced insurance premiums.

Client: Series B healthtech company with 450 employees and $28M ARR, providing population health management solutions to hospital systems.

Challenge: Salesforce Administration Services were required following the acquisition of a competitor, which created three disconnected Salesforce orgs with duplicate patient records and incompatible data models. The merged entity needed a unified Health Cloud environment compliant with HIPAA requirements across 2.8M patient records. Manual reconciliation was consuming 120 hours monthly.

Solution: Smartbrain.io assembled a team of 4 Salesforce administrators and 2 data architects for a 14-week consolidation project. Discovery phase mapped data models across all three orgs. The team used Salesforce Data Loader and custom Apex scripts to deduplicate records, achieving 99.7% match accuracy. A new unified data model was designed with proper HIPAA controls including Business Associate Agreement tracking, PHI field encryption, and enhanced audit logging. Integration with Epic EHR was rebuilt using MuleSoft Anypoint Platform.

Results: The unified Salesforce environment launched 1 week ahead of the 14-week schedule. Manual record reconciliation was eliminated, saving $156K annually in labor costs. Patient record accuracy improved to 99.7% across 2.8M records. The company achieved HIPAA compliance certification within 60 days of go-live with zero PHI exposure incidents.

Client: Industrial equipment manufacturer with 3,100 employees across 6 production facilities, generating $890M annual revenue.

Challenge: Salesforce Administration Services were needed to address severe performance degradation in their 8-year-old Salesforce org. The system contained 47 unused custom objects, 89 inactive workflows, and 2.4GB of redundant data. Average page load time exceeded 12 seconds, causing sales team frustration and 23% lower CRM adoption rates. Month-end reporting required 5 days of manual data extraction.

Solution: Smartbrain.io provided 2 certified Salesforce administrators and 1 platform developer for a 12-week optimization engagement. The team conducted org analysis using Salesforce Optimizer and custom Apex profiling. Unused components were archived or deleted following client approval. Complex workflow rules were migrated to Flow Builder for better performance. Custom indexes were created for 23 frequently queried fields. A reporting framework using Einstein Analytics replaced manual Excel extraction. All changes followed a staged rollout with full rollback capability.

Results: Average page load time decreased from 12 seconds to 3.2 seconds — a 73% improvement. Salesforce storage costs reduced by $34K annually after data cleanup.
