Your sales team is spending too much time building quotes by hand. You already know CPQ will solve that but now you are facing a different problem. Salesforce offers two CPQ solutions that look similar on the surface, carry the same brand name, and yet serve very different purposes.

One is built to work for any business, in any sector. The other is engineered specifically for industries where product complexity, subscription lifecycles, and high-volume ordering are simply part of everyday operations.

If you’ve been wondering whether Salesforce is genuinely worth the investment for your business or you’re helping a client decide you’re in the right place. Salesforce is not just a CRM. It’s a connected cloud platform that manages sales pipelines, automates customer journeys, handles complex pricing, and now even deploys AI agents that work independently. Over 150,000 companies worldwide rely on it, including roughly 90% of Fortune 500 firms.

But here’s the more important question: does it work for your industry?

Running a business often means managing countless moving parts—sales conversations, customer enquiries, internal approvals, reports, and follow-ups. When these tasks are handled manually, teams spend valuable hours on administrative work rather than meaningful customer interactions.

This is where Salesforce becomes incredibly valuable. Salesforce offers powerful automation capabilities that simplify repetitive tasks, streamline workflows, and ensure processes run smoothly without constant manual intervention.

However, automation is most effective when it is implemented thoughtfully. Businesses that work with experienced Salesforce specialists such as 9to9clouds often achieve the best results because their automation strategies are aligned with real operational needs.

In the Salesforce ecosystem, moving metadata from one org to another is a common requirement during development, testing, or migration. One of the easiest ways to achieve this is by using Unmanaged Packages.

An unmanaged package allows developers and administrators to distribute components such as Apex classes, flows, custom objects, Lightning components, and other metadata between Salesforce organizations.

Unlike managed packages, the components inside an unmanaged package remain editable in the destination org. This makes unmanaged packages particularly useful for development sharing, backups, proof-of-concept deployments, and one-time migrations.

In this guide, we will walk through the step-by-step process of deploying an unmanaged package from a source org to a target org.

Prerequisites

Most businesses running Salesforce are also running five to ten other platforms alongside it: an ERP, a marketing automation tool, a billing system, a customer support platform, perhaps a data warehouse. Each of these holds a different slice of the customer picture, and when they do not communicate reliably, that picture is always incomplete.

Disconnected systems do not just create inconvenience. They produce inaccurate records, duplicated manual effort, and a fragmented customer experience that erodes the trust you have worked to build. A well-designed integration strategy addresses all of this by making Salesforce the authoritative hub through which data flows accurately and consistently.

Salesforce’s OmniStudio platform enables rapid development of guided processes, data retrieval components, and user interfaces like OmniScripts, FlexCards, Integration Procedures, and more. However, after Salesforce introduced the new standard OmniStudio following the Industries Cloud migration, many admins and developers discovered that the familiar Import/Export buttons were missing from the OmniStudio Designer.

Migrating components between environments — such as from sandbox to production — or sharing reusable assets across projects is a common requirement for Salesforce teams. Without clear guidance, this change in the UI can lead to confusion and slowdowns. This blog explains both your options for importing and exporting components in the new design: using Command Line Interface (CLI) and enabling the classic UI experience.
