Tushar Dhawan: We are committed to helping clients achieve their business goals through personalized consulting services. Several principles guide our approach to understanding their unique needs and challenges.

We start with comprehensive discovery phases, where we involve important organizational members in workshops, where we learn about their business strategies, their objectives and challenges, and their current processes. This hindsight, together with the broader insight, provides the framework for the creation of client-specific solutions concerning their goals.

During the whole of the consulting process, we always involve the client’s team and continually urge the client to communicate freely with us to make sure that our solution is aligned with the client’s vision. However, since every business is dynamic, we combine the Waterfall model with Iterative refinement and encourage businesses to seek our inputs as they go through this process so that they can make adjustments along the way to enhance their growth trajectory.

Also, we value working not only on a transaction basis but also offering ongoing support throughout the client’s lifecycle, especially for multiple growth and development scenarios.

DQ: Can you explain the importance of Salesforce in streamlining sales processes and driving revenue growth for businesses?

Tushar Dhawan: As the partner of Plus91Labs, I realize the importance of Salesforce in revenue growth. Salesforce helps to organize the work with sales reducing the actions to those connected with customers. This allows salespeople to target specific leads based on their characteristics and move them along the sales funnel more efficiently and thus achieve higher conversion rates.

Salesforce’s automation tools and analytics capabilities additionally increase efficiency by automating inefficient tasks and offering insights. Sales operation management can help businesses reduce sales cycle times and ensure the company is allocating resources to the activities that generate sales.

Additionally, the cloud-based platform that Salesforce runs on can deliver crucial sales data in real-time and from anywhere in the world, giving sales representatives more flexibility and the tools they need to remain customer-centric and adaptive to change. This flexibility helps the business to adjust to the shifting market conditions and to capture new growth opportunities in the market for sustainable revenue generation.

DQ: How does Plus91Labs manage data migration during transition to SaaS platforms?

Tushar Dhawan: Transitioning to SaaS platforms involves several steps. Some of the most important ones are managing data migration with these platforms at Plus91Labs is a process that follows the industry standards, while keeping clients’ needs in focus. The first step is to analyze the client’s overall dataset landscape, define which data sets are of the most interest, and learn about their specific needs.

Then, we create a plan for managing and transferring the data that is sensitive and unique to the institution but it should not disrupt the ongoing activities. This involves the preparation of the data and matching, as well as a verification process of the data to be migrated. Our skilled workers employ strong functions and technologies to help computers with straightforward information extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL), and data assurance and eligibility standards.

Throughout the transition, we ensure clear and consistent communication with clients, deliver regular progress reports, and respond to concerns when issues are encountered. Our mission is to help clients manage the change process to achieve great success in delivering the value of their data through SaaS platforms. Moreover, we provide extensive consulting services during the switch to SaaS to foster user acceptance and make the transition as smooth as possible.

DQ: What strategies has Plus91Labs adopted to navigate the shift from traditional software to SaaS?

Tushar Dhawan: Plus91Labs has also adopted a number of key strategies to shift from traditional software to software-as-a-service. First, we always make an effort to gather as much information about the market, the trends that are taking a new direction in the industry, and what the clients may need. This allows us to understand as early as possible what might be the next changes in the market, and what modifications can be made to our products.

Next, we conduct employee training initiatives and other ongoing education to keep our professionals up to date with the SaaS industry. This also enables us to establish the constant changes in the SaaS niche so that we can always offer innovative solutions.

In addition, we form specific collaborations with the most successful SaaS providers and industry specialists to provide our assistance and use their well-researched and developed technologies.
