wow, great article! i work for a university and our admin group needs a "killer app" for tracking students, researchers, faculty, industry partners, events, and a bunch of other little things... i've been doing my best to try and explain to them what SF is capable of but it's been tricky as i don't have any first-hand experience w/it.
i've forwarded the article off to them and the entire group had a collective "ah-ha!" moment. thanks for putting this together. :)
- rchaud 7y agoWhen I was applying to grad schools in 2016, the online applications all sat on top of a Salesforce build. It's clunky to build on for sure, but there has to be trade-offs when you're using a pre-designed "lego blocks" type system to build an app. You can sign up for a free SF developer account, which gives you access to a dummy account that can support 2 users. Go to Salesforce Trailhead, their training site and look at the modules to figure out which one might help you create a prototype you can use as a proof of concept for your team.
