Salesforce Purpose

SkillStorm teamed with a big prime federal integrator for a substantial contract with the VA that intended to modernize and manage its extensive IT ecosystem. The program focused on enhancing the VA's digital infrastructure to better serve veterans and internal stakeholders.

The primary technology stack for this program was Salesforce. The client was looking for a team that had the expertise to deliver, supported veterans and had the ability to come in at a competitive price.

Resources needed to be U.S.-based with specific labor category requirements varying from tech capabilities, locations and years of experience at the Junior and Journeymen labor categories. Teams needed to scale very quickly and at a very large scale.
