Salesforce
Generic data model / requires building
custom objects
Integration has to be developed custom
No pre-built industry specific processes
No product catalogue, no embedded
industry standards
Flows – generic requires customization
per industry
Salesforce Industries
Industry data model / reuse standard objects
vs building own
Optimized for integration with industry specific
backend systems
Pre-built common industry specific processes
Product catalogue optimized per industry
standards
Omnistudio – Guided omnichannel flows

SFI INSURANCE – LESSONS LEARNED
1. Product is the King – everything starts and ends with the product, do a lot homework before you start building
your product.
2. Rule is the Queen – every product comes with the rules, when, how and to whom you can offer it, rules will
take a lot effort.
3. Know Omniscript in and out – this is the area you will spend most of your time, well designed Omniscript
means your products and rules are clear.
4. Use Integration Procedure when you can – think first about IP before thinking about any other way to
integrate, and reuse IP if you can.
5. Simplify processes and products when possible – often firms have processes wrapped around legacy
systems, SFI can help rethink and simplify.
6. Don’t forget SFI is not standard Salesforce – many classic SF developers can get confused from
DataRaptors and other concepts
