    Every I.T. project’s goal should be to bring as fast as possible the most added-values to the users through an ergonomic software solution with the best quality.

    This is even more easily achievable when the project’s management ensures of bringing clear overall & detailed visibility to every stackholders, easing the knowledge transfers, laying down the reasonings & stamping their validation, allowing the project team to stay focused and keeping tracks of deliverables.

    Every I.T. project requires to be handled by :

P.M.

Project Management is about dealing with ressources, time & workload.

S.C.M.

Source Control Management is about dealing with code’s storage & sharing.

C.I. / C.D.

Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery is about dealing with code’s quality & deployment.

I.D.E.

Integrated Development Environment is about dealing with coding-related tools.

D.M.

Documentation Management is about dealing with “what’s specific to your business & related” knowledges.

Communication

It is the foundation of all human relationship.

    This is even more useful when they are integrated flawlessly.

    So, to empower our clients & consultants, we assembled & created a unique combination of organization, methodology & tools in order to maximize the effectiveness of :

Communications

To better capitalize on project-specifics.

Automation

To support the project team’s productivity.

Setup & code

To guarantee the solution’s maintainability & evolutivity.

    And we designed our « Lōkahi way » to have the following unconditional benefits :

    No time or money spent on choice, configuration, integration & usage of tools.

    All is designed & coded based on I.T. & Salesforce’s best practices & latest updates.

    All structuring aspects of an I.T. project are fully integrated and automated.

    Same level of top expertise & high quality is provided for all our clients.

    Continuously enriched & improved also by the community through open-source projects.

    Can be tried or definitively adopted alongside your current way of working without any impact.

“Life relentlessly seeks to improve itself in a lasting balance.

Let’s rise to the challenge!”

Automated Operations

    The automated operations are what’s making a huge difference when you have to manage number of Salesforce Orgs.

    But before learning what they could bring you, let’s take a look at how they were designed… To do so, we will start from the main pain points that they takle.

The « happy soup »

Thanks to the Salesforce products being well designed, customization of them is just about : metadata, code & data.

But, when it comes to deal with this happy soup, only a few really know how to act.

To fix this problem, we started by defining an exclusive SFDX project template to get an intuitive & explicit directory structure.

Then, we continued by coding exclusives SFDX plugin commands to be able to convert / revert from standard directory structure to enhanced one.

So any project could embark.

Finally, you have peace of mind managing Salesforce Org’s customizations

The DevOps gap

Now that your sources are organized, many ways exists to help you deploy changes to production : manual operations, SFDX commands, Salesforce DevOps Center, Third-Party editors.

But, when it comes to deal with the « DevOps gap », being fully operational always takes time and often costs money.

To cross this gap, we created exclusives :

  • C.I. / C.D. pipeline, to ease the delivery process management.
  • SFDX plugin commands, to ease the development isolation management.
  • Docker image, to optimize the C.I. / C.D. jobs’ executions.

So any project could enjoy.

You won’t have to worry about Salesforce Orgs’ deployments anymore

The communication issues

Being serene regarding the technical part of your Salesforce project, you want to ease the business part too : business analysis, solution’s design, tasks progress, deliverables.

But, when it comes to deal with the inherent communication issues, limit entry points to relevant informations sources seems complicated.

To address those issues, we configured exclusives :

  • Jira instance, to ease the project & issues tracking management.
  • Jira / GitLab integration, to ease the development & release management.
  • SFDX plugin commands, to automate related-actions on both Jira & GitLab.

So any project could stay with it.

Booster Apps

    If you encounter one or more of the following pain point examples, we’ve got something that clearly might interest you :

Inexisting or unexploitable log files

    Getting logs is an essential feature of surveillance on any software solution.

    Salesforce’s log files are, by default, not preventive and barely accessible after an incident.

    We provide a fully integrated logging management system that allows to easily :

  • be right away efficient in your logging methodology,
  • allow authorized users to visually get access to useful log messages,
  • being able to access user-related or transaction-related log messages in a click.

Misorganized source files

    Mastering your Salesforce’s Orgs starts by knowing how to handle metadata & data files.

    We know that misorganized source files leads to duplicated, entangled, unefficient & difficult to maintain code which is oftenly a big part of the technical debt.

    Using one or more of our Booster Apps will help clean your Salesforce Orgs’ technical debt.

    And this is not only because you strip a part of your source files but because our Booster Apps are designed and handled by the “happy soup”‘s resolution principle of our Automated Operations.

Unactivated or misused cache

    Using cache is an important performance-related feature on any software solution.

    Salesforce’s cache is often hardly if not at all used.

    We provide a cache manager that allows to easily :

  • be right away efficient in your caching methodology,
  • add cached data at site & user levels in seconds.

Poor designed & ungeneric code

    Apart from Salesforce official features & components library, common Salesforce problems are rarely adressed through generically-designed therefore reusable components & codes.

    Only a consulting firm could have the ressources & benefits to handle such a virtous approach.

    This is why, following the “happy soup”‘s resolution principle of our Automated Operations, we provide Booster Apps !

    The Booster Apps are an always growing set of cloud-related, feature-related or problem-specific packages that you can install on your Salesforce Orgs to quickly & efficiently help you resolve pain points.

    The advantages of using the Booster Apps :

Reduce your development costs

    The Booster Apps are ready to use, at most after quick configurations and with no or few development required.

Reduce time delay for new features to be released

    Using a Booster App is simple as installing a Salesforce package.

Increase quality across all Salesforce Orgs

    Replace a part of your custom code with generic & updatable Booster Apps packages.

Benefit from proven knowledges

    Booster Apps are designed & coded following I.T. & Salesforce’s best practices.

Public Repository

    Communities are great to share, learn & grow.

    Because it’s important for us to contribute in such a way, we opened a public repository to propagate, at least, the “coded” parts of, what we think is, a sustainable model of a consulting firm.

    In june 2022, all of our main projects went from Beta to Release Candidate. We, then, took advantage of the summer to take a breather before finalizing versions that are solid and advanced enough to be shared.

Stay tuned for the Public Repository’s projects to be published !
