Say Hello To Lawson LLP

Embarking on a journey to success on the world’s #1 CRM platform, Salesforce

Lawson LLP, one of the trusted legal advisors in the US, uses Salesforce to enrich the digital experience for its clients. Their mission is to meet ‌customer demands while creating new customers, but faster & better. Optimizing their Sales & Service cloud processes was the target. In the spew of bringing change, recently, they’ve integrated other external systems including their AWS cloud, with Salesforce to have a single business view. Plus, few third-party apps to sprint the processes in their Salesforce system. 

This accelerated the process thrice. Lawsons has started getting more leads; the chatter feeds are pouring in compliments for their new service revamps. Promises are met, but over several clauses. Let’s learn, what storage challenges they encountered in Salesforce back then. 

Initial Challenges

How Lawsons met the urgency to counter the additional data storage costs associated with the recent changes in Salesforce

As the Hebru quote goes – troubles come in packs. As more emails & cases were added over time, it soon started competing over ‌storage space in Salesforce. The sales reps are at their wit’s end as they have already reached 90% of Salesforce’s ‌data storage limit. Lawsons added 15 new customers this week and soon they will start emailing inquiries to their associates. It’s only a matter of time before they have to upgrade their data storage in Salesforce. 

As they were already paying to maintain Salesforce connectors for the conjugated systems. The immediate suggestion was to have a custom-built process that could make use of the Salesforce connectors and move the data immediately to secondary storage and restore the org back to life. But setting up an archiving process via Salesforce- AWS Integrated channels can take weeks or even months.
