Ascendix's Salesforce Consulting Partnership Journey

Ascendix’s Salesforce Consulting Partnership Journey

  • In 2021, we embraced a global philanthropic movement, joining the Pledge 1% program. This initiative allowed us to extend a helping hand to nonprofit organizations, reinforcing our commitment to social responsibility. Also, we started our way as a BASE Salesforce Consulting Partner.
  • In 2022, our focus on growth and excellence led us to become an official Salesforce Ridge Consulting Partner. This critical step strengthened our technical and strategic capabilities, expanding our proficiency in both consulting and AppExchange development.
  • By achieving Crest Consulting partner status in 2023, we demonstrated a strong commitment to quality and innovation.

Each of these steps laid a firm foundation for our most recent accomplishment: the distinction of being named a Salesforce Summit Consulting Partner in 2025.

Their elevated status reflects rigorous certifications and a proven track record of delivering transformative, reliable implementations, ensuring clients receive accelerated support and the best-in-class service tailored to meet complex business challenges.

This rigorous framework ensures that only partners dedicated to long-term quality, real-world results, and continuous improvement make the cut.

Summit status is particularly demanding, as it requires:

  • a demonstrated record of excellence in innovation,
  • implementation of best practices in solution design and architecture,
  • driving measurable, sustainable growth,
  • delivery of a wide array of customized solutions across multiple Salesforce products,
  • partner’s commitment to helping clients navigate the complexities of the Salesforce ecosystem,
  • business sustainability, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

This achievement is a testament to Ascendix’s technical prowess, strategic insight, and, above all, the deep partnerships we’ve cultivated with our clients.

In our work across various industries—ranging from Commercial Real Estate and Nonprofit to Private Equity and Agriculture—we have consistently delivered comprehensive solutions tailored to the specific challenges of each sector.

Our small nonprofit found itself completely unable to send engagement newsletters to our subscribers during the most critical fundraising time of the year.

With the help of a particularly dedicated account exec at Salesforce, we were connected with Greg and team at Ascendix, who were able to immediately identify the causes of our issues, correct them, and coach my marketing folks on how to move forward.
Sometimes implementing Salesforce functionality can feel like shouting from the bottom of a well - happy to say we've found a great team that will listen!

Eric Sherman and Catia Lemos were incredibly helpful from understanding our current circumstances to guiding us to a system that could function for all our immediate needs.

They took the time to fully understand our issues and desired outcomes, incorporated additional tools like Action Plans to help us consolidate tools (we were using Asana), and designed many customizations to the product so we could quickly collect and access data that makes or team smarter capital advisors.

As a result, it granted me the chance to become a trainee at Ascendix, marking the start of a whole new tech journey.
