Well, my grand experiment around a professional blog clearly stalled, but I think I’ve got a pretty good reason. I was hired as a Salesforce Architect for a great company, ACI Worldwide, in November 2014. I just had my one year anniversary. It has been an INTENSE year. We have covered a lot of ground, including:
- Standing up a third-party Salesforce backup solution (Backupify) in the cloud
- Migrating data from a Salesforce instance owned by a company ACI acquired into ACI’s Salesforce instance
- Rolling out a new deployment process (which is still evolving)
- Studying new integration strategies around a pending move of a back end system from on premise (Oracle 11i) to the cloud (Oracle Fusion).
- Designing several new solutions on the Salesforce Platform.
I’m going to try to make an effort to start my mornings blogging about some of the experiences I’ve had in the past year as the technical lead of this remarkable Salesforce development team I’ve been privileged to join. For now, suffice it to say it’s been an amazing year, and it looks like we’ve got some cool things on the horizon as well!
