Collaborators

Velu and Charlie have collaborated for over twelve years, bringing their expertise to sizable corporations and smaller nonprofits. Their combined skills in transforming business needs into IT solutions, particularly for Salesforce, have fostered a partnership grounded in innovation and practical application. This book is born from their shared concern that Centers of Excellence frequently must invent themselves within each company without the advantage of common frameworks, standards, and terminology. The recommendations and conclusions in this bookmark the culmination of their work together.
