Technical expertise
How the system works.
Technologists know how to build. But many haven't worked inside the business, managed its workforce or carried its budgets.
What does the business actually need?
Why me · Jim Coningsby
I have over 18 years of Salesforce admin and development experience and have led many successful projects as well as been brought in to try to salvage ones that failed. I know what separates them.
01
What I've seen
I've been in the trenches. I've seen bad practices and poor planning turn into lost revenue and ballooning costs. I've been brought in when projects failed, and I've worked to fix systems that couldn't be maintained or deployed. Good practices up front could have prevented much of it.
02
The rare combination
The gap between technical people and business people is a running joke for a reason. I've worked on both sides, so I can speak both languages.

Business fluency
What the business needs.
Business people understand their work. But without a technical background, they may not know what's possible or how to ask for the right solution.
What can the technology make possible?
The connection
Technology designed to solve a business objective,
not merely a technical problem.
03
What that means for your project
I understand the economic forces that shape what a business needs from its technology. I bring that judgment into projects early, along with the technical experience to put good practices in place, before the work turns into a struggle or is abandoned.
I've led projects where a lot of money was riding on getting it right, and where good practices were what made it succeed and let me hand the system off to the business without endless ongoing involvement.
