The Stages VRP Consulting first created a Salesforce Experience Cloud Portal that would match the client’s needs and branding, in line with their existing Upwardly Global Afghan response portal. VRP then implemented authentication which meant that the portal was accessible only by registered, authenticated users, creating a web form which participants could use to register, as well as login and password recovery pages. Once the portal was built and secured, VRP then populated it with Upwardly Global’s helpful content and integrated their resume builder tool. Created by a third party, this app had already been used in Upwardly Global’s other initiatives, and VRP’s specialist expertise was required to connect it to Salesforce. VRP also performed all other required integrations, including Google Analytics, the client’s data analytics platform of choice.
The Result Upwardly Global now has an online platform that can support its program and provide its participants with valuable career readiness resources. Because users are authenticated, Upwardly Global can access anonymized data on participants’ usage of the portal, its resources, and their progress. Going forward, this data will provide insights into Upwardly Global’s impact, which can be used to better direct their efforts, increase their effectiveness and demonstrate their work.
