Our Dual Purpose
Example Projects
“The Veterans2work team was a great partner. They approached the project with a determination to succeed and a professionalism that I didn't expect. I was espe-cially impressed with their accountability, responsive-ness, team orientation and how quickly they learned.” — Natalie Kerrigan Director Digital Engagement Whole Foods Market "Helping fellow veterans learn and apply the skills that helped them launch new careers was incredibly rewarding on many levels." — Jason Ellis (US Army) Senior Salesforce Architect Learning Mentor |
Salesforce ImplementationCHALLENGE. Austin-based Whole Foods Market wanted to better serve its 400+ stores and their customers. Its existing systems were dispersed, and its supporting processes inefficient, hampering its ability to deliver on its commitment to high-touch customer relationships across its network. The company was considering Salesforce's Service Cloud as the platform to support its stores and customers worldwide and sought to prototype before full roll out. The company's management was familiar with our Cloud Computing Career Launch Program for returning veterans and asked us to submit a proposal that would accomplish the project objective while affording student veterans the opportunity to gain valuable workplace experience.
APPROACH. We engaged a senior Salesforce architect to serve as project supervisor, ensuring the overall integrity of the project, from start to finish and providing learning through his own 'heavy lifting" examples. One of our student veterans was selected to be project manager. Working closely with the project supervisor, he coordinated student tasks and presided over daily scrums to review progress and update the project plan. Also working closely with the project supervisor was an account supervisor, whose job it was to ensure client satisfaction through oversight and quality assurance RESULTS
