Salesforce Development Lightning Strikes

Lightning has been in existence for the last 2 years and Salesforce has definitely been benefitted by the intuitive user experience that has come along with the implementation of Lightning. This introduction of Lightning has made it imperative on all types of Salesforce users to get used to the new interface, so that the benefits are tapped at the earliest. The new lightning is here to stay and it is ironically, lightning fast.

The lightning experience is primarily re-packaging of the existing setup, but in a aesthetically appealing way. The interface is no more utilitarian in nature and has immense aesthetic qualities, which enhances the user experience to a different level. This process of upgradation has made it an eye candy for sure, but also has ensure that a vast variations of feature sets have also been added to the experience. The restriction of having to access Salesforce only from a certain type of device has been removed and the platform has become device and technology agnostic, making it reachable to more and more customers. Compatibility issues that were specific to device environment were one of the major problems for a Salesforce developer, which has effectively been done away with now. The dashboard amalgamation has now made Salesforce even more intuitive than what it was before.

The amount of bespoke functionalities that are being experienced today needs to be analysed a little more carefully and the specific aspects of the technology need to be critically examined. One of the most important benefits if that the new platform makes searching for things absolutely a breeze as it becomes two objects of similar nature together. This is a dream come true for most Salesforce solution providers, as they have now the bandwidth to develop more and more features into the same existing canvass. With the introduction of this level of sophistication, what started of as a plug-in based technology solution, has virtually become the all-encompassing platform for all the processes of a business. It is no more a pipe dream for the sales team to generate leads, make contacts, pitch and close deals, all from the same platform. This has indeed made the choice of when to work and when not to work, a rather difficult choice to make.

This level of user friendliness in the platform, creates a sense of euphoria within organisations, employees of multifarious domains start interacting productively on various issues, thereby giving a fillip to innovations. However, it is always prudent to look before one takes that big technology leap, especially when it comes to making that call, as to whether the benefits outweigh the risks involved unmaking such a large change. The thoughts of cloud migration are not too far behind, in the collective mainframe of most companies. There may be effects on unconnected issues, because of a technology change, which need to be clearly understood before making a change, how much ever productive it may look at the outset. This is the new world of Salesforce nirvana and Lightning makes it the place to be.
