Architect Channel
On the Architect Channel, you’ll learn about the latest product innovations and tools to help you deliver value at the speed of business, align your teams and stakeholders, move fast and scale with resilience.
Here’s the channel lineup:
Meet the Teams: DevOps — We’ll be kicking off the Architect Channel with a special live episode. I’ll be joined by Salesforce Product Managers Rohit Mehta, Karen Fidelak and Shuji Ui for this deep dive into DevOps with Salesforce. This stellar lineup of product leaders will demo the latest innovations and answer your questions live on June 23rd.
Salesforce Industries for Architects — Salesforce Industry Clouds equip Architects with industry-specific data models and pre-built business processes to drive company value and digital engagement. Join us to learn how Architects can leverage purpose-built industry apps in combination with OmniStudio to deliver value faster. We’ll also talk with Trailblazers Alaap Cherry & Shane Booth about lessons learned implementing Energy & Utilities Cloud at their company.
Get To Know Architect Decision Guides — A key part of an Architect’s job is to evaluate trade-offs and advantages between different solutions, and to pick the optimal one. With Salesforce product offerings growing and evolving faster than ever, it can be hard to keep up. That’s why we created the Architect Decision Guides. In this episode, you’ll learn about the Architect Decision Guides — what they are and what they aren’t — and see a preview of our newest Guides, built to help you choose the right tools for the right task.
A Look at Hyperforce & Customer Data Platform — The way companies work and connect with customers has changed. At Salesforce, some fundamentals about how we’re approaching our own architecture have changed as well. Join this episode for behind-the-scenes look at two important innovations: Hyperforce and Customer Data Platform. We’ll demystify what these innovations really are, and what they mean for the future of building on Salesforce.
Introducing Salesforce Diagrams — Diagrams help drive key project decisions, align delivery teams, and help everyone understand where you’re going and what’s been done. Consistent, easy-to-understand diagrams are a critical part of project success. In this episode, Architect Evangelists Marc Braga & Susannah St-Germain will show you how to use new tools to make building Salesforce diagrams easier and faster than ever. They’ll also take you behind the scenes, sharing how and why we built these resources and what you can expect in the future.
