Say hello to Tableau!
In August 2019, Salesforce completed the acquisition of Tableau and marked a new milestone – their largest transaction to date. The press release summarized the event as “the world’s #1 CRM and #1 analytics platform coming together to supercharge customer’s digital transformations.” It was a big addition to the Salesforce ecosystem – $15.7 Billion big.
After the initial rush of excitement, the two organizations seemed to go back to business as usual. Tableau continued to manage their customers, networks, and community, while Salesforce maintained focus on their own. Over the last year, a lot of us in the Salesforce ecosystem have been wondering, waiting, and thinking what next…
We’re a Great Place to Work!
We always knew this was a pretty special company, but now it’s official! Fionta has been certified as a Great Place to Work! To qualify, Fionta employees responded to 60+ survey questions to anonymously rate the organization, and 95% of our employees say we’re a great place to work!
Great Places to Work are companies with a high-trust, positive workplace culture where employees can grow and flourish. Fionta accomplishes this by focusing on our core values: assume positive intent; do what’s right, even when it’s hard; meet people and organizations where they are; be conscientious; and always be improving. We focus on building community, in the office and online (but mostly online these days!) and ensuring our team feels supported and empowered to take on new and bigger challenges.

Membership Renewal Engagement Path with Pardot and Fonteva
This presentation was originally given at FUNcon ’20 (Fonteva’s annual user conference) about how to leverage data from Custom Objects (like Fonteva records) in Salesforce to segment lists, personalize emails, and drive Engagement Paths.
The principles covered in the demo can be applied beyond membership renewal, too! Any campaign with a defined call to action and success metric like donation, required coursework, etc. can leverage the power of Engagement Studio with known data in Salesforce and Salesforce Custom Objects.
