Problem

The customer community depended on a separate third-party platform with significant licensing and subscription cost, while the broader customer experience increasingly centered on Salesforce.

Responsibility

I led the migration from Khoros to a heavily customized Salesforce Experience Cloud implementation, coordinating platform strategy, architecture, delivery, stakeholders, and operating readiness.

Actions

  • Defined the target customer experience and migration approach.
  • Aligned community capabilities with the existing Salesforce service and customer-platform ecosystem.
  • Coordinated customization, content migration, identity considerations, validation, and launch readiness.
  • Managed the transition as both a customer-experience and platform-consolidation initiative.

Outcome

The migration saved approximately $130,000 annually in licensing and subscription costs while moving the community into the strategic Salesforce platform.
