The Latest from the Ecosystem - 7 Must-Know Announcements

The Latest from the Ecosystem - 7 Must-Know Announcements

When you have an ecosystem as big as Salesforce’s, it can be hard to consume all the content and announcements that are flying at you left, right and centre. Some of these announcements are fairly important in the grand scheme of things, as just a single resource could change the way you work and get stuff done.

As with most weeks in the Salesforce ecosystem, the past few days have been no different, and there have been a fair few announcements that can easily slip past your radar unless you are following a huge amount of news sources.

Here’s a quick round-up of some of the most important announcements and resources I’ve discovered this week…

1. Introducing the Cybersecurity Career Path on Trailhead

Security skills aren’t necessarily commonly found in a Salesforce professional's repertoire, but it is fast becoming an area to focus on.?

As data breaches are on the rise, and with Salesforce becoming one of the most vital systems a company maintains, security is a top priority. Security was also named as a top trend in IBM’s State of Salesforce report.

Check out the new Cybersecurity Career Path on Salesforce, complete with Trails, Modules & a dedicated community.?

3. Ranger Rank Profile Photo

Enablement was announced at Dreamforce and allows you to create custom learning paths for Sales reps. Create a training plan for them which can involve creating opps, leads, reports, or watching videos. These activities are all automatically tracked, no manual updating involved!?

5. Trailhead Teases Subscriptions

There have been a few drips of news regarding Trailhead Subscriptions this week. Although limited information is available at this time, Subscriptions looks to be a service that allows Salesforce customers, and partners, to engage with Salesforce Certified Instructors, live.

Its benefits are summed up in 4 points, to scale the learning of your internal team, to onboard and retain top talent, and to accelerate the value your team can deliver.

Stay tuned for more information…

6. TrailblazerDX Dates Announced

With the buzz of Dreamforce over, we need to look to the future to get our next fix of large Salesforce events. TrailblazerDX is probably the 2nd largest Salesforce conference, based in San Francisco, with a focus on content for Admins, Devs, Consultants and the more technically minded individuals (As opposed to Dreamforce which has a heavy focus on the business side).?

This will take place March 7-8, 2023. Sign up for more info here.

7. Free Salesforce Developer Environments

Have you ever heard of a new, shiny, Salesforce product you want to try out, but can’t find a demo Org? We’ve all been there.

Luckily, Salesforce has condensed many of their free trials into one home page, giving you access to 14 different products.

8. The Picklist - Our New Salesforce Weekly RoundUp

To help you stay informed of everything going on in the Salesforce ecosystem, we've released "The Picklist", a weekly email that sums up everything you need to know that you can read with your morning Saturday coffee.
