Demo Environment & Free Trial
In 2015, I completely redesigned the SugarCRM demo infrastructure from concept to production, leading the efficiency gains of 8 FTE saved (for a team of 24 Sales Engineers). The Demo Environment is a strategic asset that enables the Sales team and partners to easily demonstrate to a prospect a highly customized demo. The Demo Environment covers all the product offer (that runs on different technology stacks). Each demo can target a country. Thus a German instance will comes full 100% German data (names, adressses, emails, phones, geolocation) and can get a vertical industry flavor. Furthermore, we added tons of features to help the user in his daily job: spin off an instance, take a backup, make a clone, share the instance, deploy add-ons from a software catalog, dev ops tools to write and debug the code, instance deletion and restore, etc.
I lead a team that looks after the maintenance, ongoing improvements, new enhancements and users support. Our users are based in every region (NA, LATAM, EMEA, APAC) and need a reactive support. Downtimes are not an option during the business hours, which means Monday to Friday 24h a day.
I worked on the software design and have a perfect knowledge how to set up this kind of architecture, whatever the technical stack is.

Free Trial
Free Trial is the ability to test drive a software solution before buying. I am looking after the Free Trial environment at SugarCRM. In 2018, it was the largest lead source with the best lead to opportunity conversion rate. I worked on a revamp project to increase the conversion rate, making the UX slick.
After 12 weeks, the conversion rate was improved by 1.8x.
