Highlights from Salesforce Winter ’17 Release

snowman17As West Coast Consulting Group continues to keep its current and potential customers up to date on Salesforce, we present below the highlights from last week’s Dreamforce 2016 conference about what is contained in the Winter ’17 Release. As you may know, Salesforce normally has three releases a year, with the Winter release being the most comprehensive.

This new release is no exception. For example, the new feature artificial intelligence (AI) is used to include predictive analytics and natural language processing to the Customer Service Platform.

Healthcare Accelerator

Healthcare acceleratorThe healthcare industry has been rapidly changing over the past 3 years due to regulations such as the Affordable Care Act.  Because of these regulations and new outcome-based reimbursements, healthcare providers are treating patients like customers – putting patient relationships – not records or revenue-cycle management systems – at the center of how care is delivered.  As a result, providers are being more proactive than reactive in their treatment.

West Coast Consulting Group’s Healthcare Accelerator, released this year, is built on the Force.com platform.  It provides patient relation management and a 360 view of the healthcare patients enrolled in Payer programs, including Medicaid or Medicare. This healthcare accelerator package provides a comprehensive baseline for satisfying requirements of most insurance and caregiver agencies in managing their customer data. (more…)

CRM systems help organize sales teams making them more efficient while marketing automation increases the efficiency with which leads are generated thus increasing sales and revenue. Last year Regalix polled B2B marketers using marketing automation; and 86% reported increase in lead management and nurturing. Leading edge marketing teams use marketing automation to create targeted campaigns, to hand off better leads to sales, and to achieve greater ROI.
