With experience in US government contracting. Andrew, how are you today?Andrew Wright 1:32 Hey, how’s it going? Man, it’s good to be back here and talking to you. So thanks for the invite back and really looking forward to get in touch and talking with you a little bit.Abdulaziz M Alhamdan 1:39 It’s my honor. It’s my privilege. And I’m happy with all the great things you’re doing right now. So to give some kind of context, what’s your story? How did you come up to be doing what you’re doing? And what are you working on right now.Andrew Wright 1:56 So last time we spoke, I was working at a transportation company, we did a lot with federal compliance with the Department of Transportation. So we kind of built out of a CRM with airtable, that did a lot of automations, and a lot of document creations. And but all of it was through air table. So since then, I’ve actually taken a different position at a government contracting company up here in Maryland. So now I’m working for that company. I’ve been with them for just about a year. Now, I switched over to the automation, business automation Salesforce operations side about six months ago. But really, that was the first time I’ve got experience with Salesforce. So I’m about to take my Salesforce certified administrator exam. And we’ve been doing a lot with flows, and just kind of basic UI and fields and reporting dashboards, and things like that. This company does just north of half a billion in revenue every year. So it’s been a big change of having multiple departments and accounting, sales, compliance, project management, all of those things. And now all those are kind of under my automation roof and improving and optimizing those systems.Abdulaziz M Alhamdan 3:08 That’s so fascinating. And I have so many questions. And I’ll ask one, which is, what’s the difference in your experience between previously doing automations for startups, small businesses, compared to now doing it with, you know, corporations and big entities?Andrew Wright 3:29 So the short answer is, there’s really not that much difference. The biggest thing you have to decide is, what data do I want to capture? That’s it. Like if you can answer that question, if you do $100 in revenue, or you do $100 billion in revenue, that’s the only question that matters. What data do I need to catch. And how you get to that point is when you start getting a little bit of changes from your free, no code, low code operations, and then you’re more advanced like Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, a lot of these Appian app Ian’s a huge one in the corporate world. Now. It all comes down to what data you want to capture, identifying it, and then understanding who is responsible for gathering that data because our business it’s garbage in, garbage out. So we really have to work at understanding who is putting this data in. […]
