Salesforce Administration

Stop worrying about the day to day details of Salesforce and outsource to a 5-star certified Salesforce team.

StarrData Team as a Service (STaaS)

The Problem

Organizations with a vast application like Salesforce.com tend to manage it in one of two ways:

leveraging an existing employee to manage the system or hiring a net new resource with a Salesforce background and qualifications.

The Solution

StarrData’s STaaS program (StarrData Team as a Service) allows you to log unlimited tickets for various administration needs. You select the number of hours you’d like to have available each month for our team to support you.

Existing resources will likely lack specialization in salesforce technical and strategic planing elements Also, average training costs can be $5K-$6K per year, not to mention the increased worked and potential burnout.

As for hiring a Salesforce Admin, In 2024, hiring a full-time, in-house Salesforce administrator costs about $80,000 to $130,000 annually in the U.S. Additionally, companies should consider benefits, ongoing training, certifications, and equipment costs, which can add significant expenses to the total cost of an in-house administrator.

How STaaS Works

Salesforce is a complex and expansive platform. No single person can master all the skills needed to get the most out of it.
