Board Insights & Common Pitfalls

Generalized Judge Questions

• Acquisition Strategy: “How will you handle the rapid onboarding of acquired companies with completely different data models without impacting the ‘Unified’ global template?”
• Emergency Priority: “How does your Field Service design prioritize 24/7 emergency repairs over low-priority scheduled preventative maintenance?”
• Zero-Downtime Migration: “Unified Power operates 24/7. What is your cutover strategy for migrating from legacy ERPs to Salesforce without losing service requests?”
• Real-time Inventory: “Why choose real-time Request-Response for technician inventory checks? What happens if the ERP is down in the middle of a night repair?”
• Regional vs. National: “How do you ensure regional managers only see their own office data while national managers have a roll-up view across all acquired units?”

Common Mistakes

• Over-complicating Org Strategy: Defaulting to a Multi-Org approach for acquisitions. In a “Unified” scenario, a Single Org is preferred unless strict regulatory silos exist.
• Ignoring FSL Offline: Failing to account for technicians working in basements or data centers with zero signal. FSL Mobile offline priming must be explicitly addressed.
• Weak Territory Logic: Not utilizing FSL Service Territories or Enterprise Territory Management (ETM) correctly to handle the regional nature of acquired units.
• Underestimating LDV History: Failing to propose a Big Object or External Data Warehouse strategy for the millions of historical work orders generated by 24/7 operations.

Strong Patterns

• “Onboarding Factory” Model: Defining a repeatable governance process for mapping acquired company data into the unified Salesforce data model.
• Shield for Critical Assets: Using Shield Event Monitoring to track who is accessing sensitive national infrastructure data (UPS/Generators).
• ESB Resiliency: Using middleware (MuleSoft) to buffer integrations during legacy ERP maintenance windows to satisfy the 24/7 requirement.

Strategic Insights

• Governance is King: Success in “Unified Power” depends on the Center of Excellence (CoE) and its ability to prevent acquired units from “breaking” the global core.
• The “Fit for Purpose” Test: Tests the architect’s ability to consolidate disparate legacy processes into a single, high-performing Service Cloud + FSL solution.

Additional Notes

• Critical power infrastructure maintenance focus (UPS, Generators).
• Heavy emphasis on aggressive acquisition growth and workforce “Unification.”
