State Department Adopts Salesforce to Enhance Employee Experiences  State Department Adopts Salesforce to Enhance Employee Experiences

State Department Adopts Salesforce to Enhance Employee Experiences

AST Implements Salesforce for State Department to Enhance Efficiency and Collaboration

The Situation Before Salesforce

The State Department had been using OnBase, a legacy CRM with limited expansion capabilities, to manage internal requests and approvals for eight different functions, such as travel authorizations, purchase requests, and requests to fill open positions. By transitioning to Salesforce, the client sought to enhance employee experiences and streamline approval workflows, allowing for quicker responses and enabling users to make simple edits to their requests. Other objectives included:

  • Improve remote access to forms and processes without VPN
  • Add attachments directly to a form, even before finishing or submitting it
  • Have a “chatter” window (replacing the “notepad” OnBase feature) where employees can leave comments and tag others regarding their requests
  • Make the system more intuitive, allowing department employees to manage requests more efficiently
Let’s Create Progress Together!

AST's goal with the Salesforce implementation for the State was to transform their internal workflows into a seamless, intuitive system that empowers employees. By implementing Salesforce, AST introduced innovative features like 'Chatter' for real time interaction, remote access, enhanced collaboration tools, and simplified request management."
