Choosing the wrong Salesforce implementation partner costs far more than the project fee. It costs you months of rework, user adoption headaches, and revenue left on the table. Ask these six questions before you sign anything — and see exactly how RASPSYS stacks up against every one of them.
1. Do They Have Verified Salesforce Certifications?
Certifications are the baseline, not a bonus. A legitimate Salesforce implementation partner fields certified administrators, developers, and architects — not generalist IT consultants who "also do Salesforce." Ask to see the credentials and verify them on Salesforce's partner portal.
RASPSYS consultants hold active Salesforce certifications across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, and Platform. Every engagement is staffed by specialists whose expertise matches your specific implementation, not whoever happened to be available that week.
- Salesforce Administrator and Advanced Administrator
- Salesforce Platform Developer I & II
- Sales Cloud Consultant and Service Cloud Consultant
- Marketing Cloud Email Specialist
- Salesforce Architect credentials for enterprise builds

2. Can They Show Proven Results in Your Industry?
Generic Salesforce experience is not the same as knowing your industry's data model, compliance requirements, or sales cycle. The right partner has already solved the exact problems you are facing — for businesses that look like yours.
RASPSYS has delivered Salesforce implementations for clients across financial services, professional services, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology sectors in the UK, US, UAE, Canada, and Australia. We bring that cross-industry pattern recognition to every discovery call, which means fewer surprises and faster time to value for you.
- Ask for case studies from your vertical, not just generic testimonials
- Request references from clients of a similar size and complexity
- Confirm the same team delivered those results — not a different crew
- Look for measurable outcomes: adoption rates, pipeline growth, support ticket reduction

3. How Do They Handle Data Migration and Integrations?
A Salesforce implementation is only as strong as the data inside it and the systems connected to it. Many partners underestimate migration complexity and bolt integrations on as an afterthought. That is where timelines blow up and budgets balloon.
RASPSYS treats data migration and systems integration as first-class deliverables, not afterthoughts. Our team uses structured data audits, mapping workshops, and automated validation to ensure your historical records arrive clean and your existing tools — ERP, marketing platforms, support desks — connect without friction.
- Full data audit and cleansing before any migration begins
- Field-level mapping documented and signed off by your team
- MuleSoft and native Salesforce integration expertise
- Post-migration data integrity checks before go-live sign-off
- Zero tolerance for duplicate records landing in your new org

4. What Does Post-Go-Live Support Actually Look Like?
The real work starts the moment you go live. Users have questions. Processes shift. New requirements emerge. A partner that disappears after launch is one of the most common — and most damaging — mistakes businesses make when choosing a Salesforce implementation partner.
RASPSYS offers structured post-launch support packages that keep your Salesforce org healthy, your users confident, and your leadership getting the reports they need. Whether you need a dedicated Salesforce admin, ongoing development retainers, or quarterly health checks, RASPSYS is a long-term partner — not a one-project vendor.
- Dedicated Salesforce admin support (flexible hours)
- Priority response SLAs for business-critical issues
- Quarterly org health reviews and optimisation sessions
- User training and change management programmes
- Proactive Salesforce release management and feature adoption

5. Are They Transparent About Timeline and Cost?
Vague proposals are a red flag. A credible Salesforce implementation partner will give you a clear scope, a realistic timeline broken into milestones, and a fixed or capped-cost engagement — not an open-ended time-and-materials arrangement that grows without warning.
RASPSYS leads every engagement with a detailed discovery phase. You receive a written statement of work, a phased delivery plan with defined milestones, and transparent pricing before a single line of configuration is written. No hidden fees. No scope creep surprises. No vague estimates dressed up as certainty.
- Written scope of work before any engagement begins
- Phased milestones with defined deliverables and acceptance criteria
- Fixed-price or capped-cost options for predictable budgets
- Weekly status updates so nothing catches you off guard
- Clear change-request process if your needs evolve mid-project

Red Flags to Walk Away From
Not every partner who claims Salesforce expertise deserves your business. Knowing the warning signs early protects your budget, your timeline, and your team's trust in the platform.
RASPSYS has inherited enough troubled implementations to know exactly what bad looks like. If a prospective partner checks any of these boxes, walk away — and call us instead.
- Cannot name the specific certified consultants who will work your account
- Jumps straight to proposal without a structured discovery session
- Treats data migration as a simple export-and-import exercise
- Has no defined handover or post-launch support plan
- Avoids fixed-price commitments and only offers time-and-materials billing
- References are generic or unverifiable — no real client contacts offered
