Key Topics & Considerations for Selecting a Provider

When you review these providers (and others), these are things you’ll want to weigh and ask about.

  • Scope of clouds supported: Are they comfortable with Sales, Service, Marketing, Experience, Data Cloud, CPQ, etc? If your stack evolves, you want a partner who grows with you.

  • Managed vs implementation: Some firms mainly do implementations (build once) and then hand off; others are built for ongoing managed support. Make sure you select the managed-services mindset.

  • Service model: Are you locked in to retainer hours? Is the billing transparent? Some (like CloudBlazer) emphasise no minimums.

  • Team and continuity: Will you have the same people, or a rotating resource pool? Continuity means less ramp-up, more institutional knowledge. (Trifecta emphasises this.)

  • Global delivery / time-zones / coverage: If you’re global or operate 24×7, you’ll need the appropriate support model. (Damco, Hexaware)

  • Proactive evolution: Will the service partner help you stay ahead (release readiness, optimisation) or just keep things running?

  • Integration, data, security: Because Salesforce is rarely isolated, your MSP must be comfortable with integrations, data hygiene, compliance, security.

  • User adoption, training, change management: You’ll get far more from Salesforce if adoption is strong. A provider who helps here will pay dividends.

  • Vendor-agnostic vs locked-in: Make sure they help you pick what’s best, not simply sell you libraries/hours.

  • Commercial terms: Define SLAs, escalation, deliverables, exit terms (if you decide to switch partner).

  • Industry-specific expertise: If you operate a niche (e.g., healthcare, manufacturing, non-profit) then a partner familiar with your vertical is advantageous.

Why Managed Services Matter More Now

  • Salesforce platforms are ever-evolving. With new releases, additional clouds, AI features, integrations — the job isn’t “build and walk away”.

  • Many organisations find they under-utilise their Salesforce licences. Having a partner help you optimise means better ROI.

  • Technical debt adds up. If you just keep adding automations, custom code, integrations without periodic cleanup/optimisation, you’ll slow down. A managed services partner helps mitigate that.

  • Business operations and systems don’t stand still. If your org grows, enters new markets, you merge/acquire, your Salesforce footprint changes. Managed services provide agility.

  • Risk (security, compliance, data integrity) becomes more pressing. A partner experienced in ongoing support can embed the right practices.

  • For smaller internal teams, managed services allow “access to a full team” without hiring dozens of specialized roles in-house.

Final Thoughts

If your organisation is using Salesforce and thinking beyond “let’s just build it and walk away”, then evaluating managed services providers is a smart move.
