Optimize Your Salesforce Experience with Salesforce Lightning
What is Salesforce Lightning
Salesforce Lightning started with a question: “If we [Salesforce] were back in 1999, but had all of the technology available we have today, what CRM would we build?”
Lightning is a framework (you saw it first in Salesforce1 for mobile even if you didn’t know what you were seeing!) and a user interface that represents a huge leap from the “Classic” interface. With a modern and streamlined user interface, Lightning is optimized for a supreme mobile (or tablet / laptop / desktop) experience. Access to all of your Salesforce data and drag and drop customization for apps, layouts, and reports means you can spend more time furthering your mission and less time chained to your desk.
Why switch?
- Lightning contains a set of sleek user interfaces optimized for speed and ease of use
- Increase your team’s productivity and collaboration – join customers who’ve made the switch, experiencing a 40% increase in productivity and collaboration )
- Improve the development team’s Moves Management process by transitioning current donors to higher donation levels, converting more prospects to new donors, and reducing the amount of time spent moving donors along the path
- Work smarter with streamlined functionality and features throughout the platform
- All current and future Salesforce releases (three automatic upgrades a year) will be made in Lightning, not the ‘Classic’ interface; don’t be left behind!
