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 you 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.

Optimizing the performance of sales realignments is naturally a key concern of many enterprise administrators, and Salesforce provides features to help with the planning and execution of realignments.
