FAQs about MagicFuse

MagicFuse is an official  Salesforce Consulting Partner  with validated Salesforce PDO status . Our main expertise is based on the technical side of Salesforce, meaning that we work particularly with Salesforce custom development, integration, technical implementation, ISV development and deployment to AppExchange. As certified Salesforce PDO, we mainly support startups and established businesses with managed Salesforce teams that consist of architects, developers, quality assurance engineers, and other Salesforce specialists.

Everything started with our main brand called TechMagic which was founded almost 8 years ago by 2 senior software engineers and team leads Oleg and Andrew who worked at big enterprise-level outsourcing companies. Before TechMagic, they launched a few startups on the local market and then understood that they can bring much more value to other startups by accelerating their engineering teams. Guys chose JavaScript stack as a primary technology focus. Around 6 years ago, they added Salesforce because one of the biggest projects at TechMagic called Elements.cloud wanted to build a bi-directional Salesforce integration. Since that time, Salesforce has become the strategic direction of the company. And in 2019 a separate brand called MagicFuse was founded.

Lightning development, Web Development, Apex, Visualforce Lightning development - during recent years, we apply only the Lightning approach, building custom apps using Lightning Web Components and Lightning Components. Also, we are very strong at APEX. We worked with both synchronous and asynchronous apex, batches, integrations with external systems through APEX (REST and SOAP), custom triggers, creation of custom APIs. In terms of Visualforce, we worked a lot with it before, but now we are very focused on LWC. We had projects with different levels of complexity and experience with Sites.com using Visualforce. Moreover, we had experience in the development of Angular and React single-page applications that were hosted on Salesforce within the Visualforce page.

Similar to cost, the time required for Salesforce set up depends on business to business. While offering Salesforce Implementation Services, we take various factors into account before estimating the total time required for the process. It involves installation, maintenance, upgradation, etc., which is different for each organization and sales team. For less complicated projects, sales configuration will take a few days or say a month. However, if we talk about complicated organizations with a large number of employees, then it can take 6 months or even a year. Yes, it may sound too much time but cutting the corners initially will only strain your budget in the future rather than helping you in any way.

The factors involved in estimating the time are:

• Number of stakeholders
• How organized and clean your data is
• Size of the company
• Number of CRM users
• Number of integrations need to be set up
