Our Story
Cloud Beacon was founded to offer Salesforce Architects and Admins on demand to companies in need. Many companies don't always need an Architect or a dedicated Admin, but when a new initiative requires one, it can be challenging to achieve your business goals and technical aspirations without the right level of expertise.

What Does a Salesforce Architect Do?
A Salesforce Architect is the visionary behind a successful Salesforce implementation. They are responsible for designing and delivering multi-cloud solutions that align with a company's business objectives. Think of them as the architects of a building, crafting a blueprint for a functional and efficient structure.
Strategic Planning
Understanding business needs and translating them into technical requirements.
Solution Design
Designing and developing complex Salesforce solutions, including data models, integrations, and user experiences.
Technical Mastery
Deep knowledge across a vast Salesforce Platform. They are equipped to handle anything that may come their way.
What Does a Salesforce Administrator Do?
A Salesforce Administrator is the day-to-day caretaker of a Salesforce organization. They ensure the platform functions smoothly and meets the needs of users. Think of them as the property manager of a building, handling the day-to-day operations and maintenance.
Laying The Foundation
They construct the basic framework of the Salesforce system, setting up users, defining data structures, and ensuring a solid base for operations.
Quality Control
Like a foreman inspecting the work of the crew, Administrators verify data accuracy, troubleshoot issues, and maintain the overall health of the Salesforce platform.
Tool Management
They provide the tools and training for the team to work efficiently. This includes creating reports, dashboards, and custom applications to support day-to-day tasks.
