Combine the CRM power of Salesforce with the collaboration and work management power of Atlassian.
Salesforce took the CRM world by storm with its cloud-based architecture which quickly became a standard for managing sales and marketing operations. With so many applications relating to customer data at some point, there are quite a few good business reasons for connecting Salesforce with Atlassian tools.
Organizations managing customer account data in Salesforce and customer service / technical support requests and reporting data in Atlassian’s applications stand to gain many collaboration and productivity benefits through data integration between the two ecosystems.
Let’s start by reviewing some of the business requirements, and benefits, of this type of integration.
A view of the customer lifecycle
If Salesforce is used for account management and Atlassian’s Jira is used for incident management, a consolidated view will eliminate staff within the same organization being unaware of customer challenges. A customer who has been waiting for a product or service to be delivered is unlikely to be responsive to a sales agent not aware of this delay. Staff on the sales side can create issues in Jira from Salesforce and multiple cases can be mapped to a single Jira issue.
Better up- and cross-selling
Better informed sales and marketing staff are more likely to be able to offer a customer more relevant deals. Agents can see synchronized updates and comments in Salesforce and Jira. This type of integration can be a catalyst for revenue generation.
Improved reporting
Connecting Salesforce with Atlassian’s Confluence is a great way to get the most up-to-date customer information into your sales and marketing reports. You can display a list of Salesforce records in a table and then the incoming data set can be restricted by specifying conditions. There are also options for advanced reporting, and integrated reports across Jira from Salesforce data can be generated for product planning.
Save staff time
One benefit that should not be underestimated is the staff time saved by not having to juggle two separate systems for everyday customer management tasks. Time is money and productivity, and this is particularly important for frontline sales and customer account managers. Business success depends on efficiently getting the right information in front of them, at the right time.
