Saleforce’s next-generation platform, Lightning Experience, promises enhanced productivity, functionality, and usability for its user. However, organizations are fearful of migrating to a new platform due to the potential of a messy and frustrating transition, which can lead to overwhelmed employees and a decrease in productivity. Prior to Dreamforce 2019, WalkMe conducted a study based on Salesforce implementations across 40 industries and hundreds of customers to uncover the average number of steps to complete a business process in Lightning and Classic and which one made the overall process faster.
Key findings from the study include:
- WalkMe’s study based on hundreds of Lightning implementations and migrations proved how much more complicated Lightning is for new users.
- The average number of steps to complete a business process in Salesforce(R) Classic and Lightning is slightly shorter: 8.1 for Classic and 7.4 for Lightning.
- Based on this data, when using WalkMe for Salesforce(R) Classic, users will encounter 8.0 Smart Walk-Thrus to complete tasks. In Lightning, however, users will be prompted by 18.4 Smart Walk-Thrus – 230% more – proving not only how different Lightning can be, but also the many different opportunities there are to implement WalkMe.
- The adoption challenges in Lightning prompt 35% more WalkMe users within Salesforce Lightning as opposed to in Classic.
