Fast-growing businesses, extensively using Salesforce as a CRM generate & store a vast volume of data from varied sources.
For users’ grace, Salesforce has enabled custom automation for all customer-facing departments. Irrespective of who initiates a conversation with the contact (a sales rep or a service agent) the record data is immediately synced and updated to your Salesforce systems.
It may include data entry and updates to contact records after every interaction, as well as:
– Post-closure follow-ups
– Email threads
– File, Notes & Attachments
Or, anything like lightning experience readiness reports, a visual force report, or simply a screenshot as a follow-up on the cases raised in your Service Cloud.
And, if you want your Salesforce to provide a comprehensive view of all your customer interactions without running into Salesforce data storage limits, you may find that you need to archive older data to improve the app performance & reduce data storage costs.
Archive, Expand & Explore
Salesforce generates data through a combination of automated and manual processes, allowing businesses to collect and analyze customer information to drive sales and services from Salesforce cloud apps.
Ensure that your CRM data doesn’t cram your primary storage space. Data that you no longer use but still want to keep can be archived. And you can retrieve this archived data to use in reports. To make your job easier, DataArchiva allows you to create searchable Salesforce data archives with point-and-click restoration for simplicity.
