Tools for Large-Scale Realignments

The most demanding maintenance activity that customers perform is a large-scale realignment of sales teams, territories, and account assignments. Whether customers do realignments annually, quarterly, or more frequently, the realignments typically involve extensive changes to an organization’s structure and updates to large amounts of data, both of which result in many changes to record access.

At the same time, sales realignments are very time sensitive—failing to complete them quickly can adversely affect revenue. Optimizing the performance of sales realignments is naturally a key concern of many enterprise administrators, and the Force.com platform includes several features to help with the planning and execution of realignments.

To enable any of the following features in your organization, contact Salesforce customer support.
