Coral Team

Discovery and prototyping before any code

Coral Team is a software development company that focuses on web applications and Salesforce. It describes itself as a boutique group of IT professionals with more than 20 years of combined expertise, and it says it works with startups, sales and marketing businesses, and enterprises. The company believes a software project succeeds when clients and developers work together, and it says its engineers enjoy taking on hard problems.

Its discovery work runs through cross-functional workshops, interviews with stakeholders, competitor analysis and process mapping. The team then builds rapid prototypes and mock-ups, and uses them to test ideas against real data. The company says this stage shows which proposed features are impractical before development begins, and it produces a development schedule that the client can plan around.

Salesforce work from Lightning to analytics

Its Salesforce services include moving an older setup to Salesforce Lightning, building web applications on the platform, and integrating the customer relationship processes that sit around it. The firm lists work with Pardot for marketing automation, Einstein Bots, Salesforce Campaigns and CRM analytics, and it builds Lightning Web Components. It also offers a security management tool called Security Auditor, which is presented as a way to check and manage the security settings of a Salesforce org.

Data migration, cloud moves and design

When a client considers the cloud, the team plans and carries out replatforming so that the features of the existing software are preserved. It moves complex data sets using extract, transform and load tools and automated conversion routines, which it designs to fit the client's budget and timeline. On the design side, the team combines data visualisation with user interface and user experience work, arguing that user-centred design and clear visual reporting help people adopt a product and support their decision makers.

Engineers on demand

Where a client needs a particular skill or faces a tight deadline, the company can supply engineers, taking on the recruitment, training and management of the people so that the client does not have to. It says it grows its engineering talent over time and tailors each engagement to the client's needs, whether the work is a short project or a longer partnership.
