How does AppShark deliver its Salesforce Managed Services?
We offer flexible engagement plans that start at only 40 hours per month. Our Managed Services plans are customized to each client’s specific needs, and by leveraging a hybrid engagement model, our services are available for a fraction of the price of taking on these resources internally. Our basic plans are:
Monthly Managed Services – Ongoing, role-specific support plans that provide an allowance of hours by resource. Customers can change time and resource commitments quarterly within the agreement, based on their ongoing, changing needs. The plan can change as your business does.
Block of Hours – Customers can purchase a block of time for specific resources – typically used for project-based work or short-term engagements, based on the deliverables expected. Additional blocks of time can be purchased as additional customization or integrations are needed.
