Platform development services companies value hard work, dedication, passion and really honing in on the complexities of building out optimal workflow environments. This means that the developers in these organizations are thoroughly examining the structure of these platforms from a very granular level and building a foundation that will thoroughly support the development process. Developers and designers who truly embody these core qualities know that collaboration and eagerness to share and learn are what also sustains the development process and nurtures growth in a company.

This includes attending conferences and events that serve as a sounding board for like-minded technology professionals to bounce ideas around and come up with innovative and tech-forward strategies for development services. One such event is TrailheadDX; a Salesforce conference that welcomes tech companies from all over the world to attend and share best practices for the tech industry, especially with regard to the Salesforce platform. Event-goers have been particularly with how much it focuses more on platform development. On a much smaller scale than Salesforce’s larger event, Dreamforce, TrailheaDX allows smaller companies to really shine and network with individuals who share these similar interests.

TrailheaDX provides a more intimate approach to presenting subject matter panels for topics like automation processes, cloud environment optimization, omnichannel customer environments and panels for just overall improving platform efficiency. Furthermore, since its a smaller venue there’s more face time with product managers, engineering team leads and industry professionals to really share and discuss industry trends. This is also a big plus because you have direct access to decision makers which can expedite future partnerships.

With keynote speeches from Salesforce Chairman & CEO, Marc Benioff, to Star Wars actor, Mark Hamill, TrailheaDX still carried the same weight and star power as Dreamforce, but it catered more to developers. If you’re a high-level developer you’ll definitely benefit from attending the conference, so I encourage those who specialize in platform development to attend TrailheaDX as well as Dreamforce for networking and sharing best practices in functionality on the Salesforce platform!
