Overview

The portfolio of clients includes a broad selection of multi-national, national, regional and local companies across every industry and specialisation.
The challenge
FCM has over 4,000 internal Salesforce users, and 425 Partner Licensee’s across more than 90 countries, who all need to collaborate with each other.
FCM wanted a solution to optimise its global account management processes between
its Global Partners and its internal Product Managers, Account Executives and Business Development Managers. If a partner was targeting a corporate client in one country, they needed a global view of all their historical interactions to:
- Understand their specific needs
- Determine the best ways of approaching them
- Be able to respond effectively to RFPs
- Uncover up-sell opportunities
The solution
Using makepositive’s Positive Collaboration solution, users in different orgs and communities can share & access historical conversations and data relating to accounts, products and business processes or updates in shared Chatter Groups and profile pages.
Our solution allows the segmentation of who can see what, what information should be accessible to FCm employees only, and what information can be shared with the partner network.
makepositive’s Positive Collaboration solution allows single sign-on between different orgs and communities with all feeds and groups in 1 place whether in chatter desktop or in browser.
The result
FCm saw an 18% increase in Partner adoption over 3 months since the deployment.
