For the past decade, I've had the privilege of helping my clients identify meaningful ways to connect their delivery teams to business outcomes. (I'll be talking about this a lot over the coming weeks and months) This work has been a labor of love, and being a part of West Monroe has only amplified this experience. Identifying value and efficiency is a natural extension of the work West Monroe is known for in the M&A diligence space. Over the last several months, I've worked closely with incredibly talented individuals to identify "Metrics that Matter." Together, we've made a real difference in how companies approach their R&D efforts. I'm eager to share the first fruits of that work in the linked article. This piece highlights several core points: - Importance of R&D efficiency for maintaining a competitive edge and ensuring sustainable growth. - Establishing clear metrics and measures can significantly enhance the effectiveness of R&D initiatives, leading to better resource allocation and improved innovation outcomes. - Strategic alignment of R&D activities with broader business strategies to ensure efficient and impactful investments.

The most exciting announcement from the latest Salesforce release for me is the introduction of the new UUID class, which simplifies the process of generating Version 4 UUIDs directly in Apex. This update eliminates the need for custom code or third-party libraries, offering a streamlined and reliable solution for creating unique identifiers. For more details, you can refer to the official documentation: UUID Class: https://lnkd.in/epAdFep3 Now create it as a Custom Field Type eliminating the need to use code.

"Name a variable with the same care you would give to naming your first-born child." This powerful insight from Robert C. Martin's "Clean Code" mirrors my approach to naming components in Salesforce. Whether dealing with fields, objects, flows, or reports, the goal is always to craft names that immediately reveal the 'Who, What, When, How, and Why' of each element. Yet, in the rush to progress, it's tempting to quickly name a field and push forward. This hasty decision can lead to API names that haunt your dreams like a bad horror movie—cryptic, confusing, and hard to remember. To escape this nightmare, I increasingly rely on AI tools like #ChatGPT. A quick brain dump and a request for intuitive names, precise descriptions, and helpful tips can significantly improve the clarity and longevity of your work. Investing a bit more time initially pays off by transforming potential nightmares into dream scenarios that ensure your Salesforce environment is both functional and future-proof. #Salesforce #CleanCode #NightmareToDream #TechTips #AIAssistance

RPA has been rigorously evaluated, and we now have a clearer vision of its future in 2024. As part of the Intelligent Automation (IA) umbrella — which includes Business Process Management, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning — the question arises: does standalone RPA still meet expectations? Has enterprise-wide automation overtaken it or is generative AI pushing it aside? As we enter the second half of 2024, let’s explore what to expect and look ahead to early predictions for 2025 with insights from Ten10: https://lnkd.in/ev6Qpg8M

Do you know about any undocumented ServiceNow system properties? Current or in the past? My favorite was glide.alter.online... what is that you ask? I was working on my first consulting project and I didn't know about best practice, so I'd built the world's largest update set, almost a full year of development activities packed into the most ludicrous update set of all time. Looking back I should be embarrassed but hey we all have to learn right? The update set took over 10 hours to commit from dev to test. So I logged a ticket with Hi and they introduced me to the glide.alter.online system property. When you commit an update set in ServiceNow you don't cause a system outage, there are no table locks, why is that? Well it basically takes a copy of the database, makes the changes and snaps it back into place. The glide.alter.online = false changes it so that your update set commit actually does create outages and table locks as it alters the tables directly. The net result for my enormous ridiculous update set? It committed in under 30 mins. For years after learning about that property I would ask my clients can we schedule an outage? If yes I'd use the property, if no, I would not. It was a handy tool in the toolbelt, but I can't say if it still works, its been years since I used it! What undocumented property or feature have you used? I was reminded about the glide.alter.online property from an old go live plan that had set to false as line one and set to true as the final step! #ServiceNow #TipsAndTricks #SystemProperties #PAMT #ServiceNowDeveloper

Yes, I've been a bit quiet lately. What have I been up to? I've been heads-down working on a Salesforce CPQ to RLM migration project for a global company in the... SPACE INDUSTRY! This nerd girl is living the dream, working on the most powerful quoting and fulfillment software on Salesforce, designing for efficiency and vastly improving current state, and on client site this week, in my favorite state, with posters and models of space vehicles all around. This is the kind of project that makes me starry-eyed, and yes, pun intended!
