Project managers often need information fast. Daily huddles, one-to-one meetings, and weekly scrums require instant access to information. For a leading services organization, Salesforce provided a stable, ready source of data, yet it required multiple login steps and a desktop to access the data. Project managers need it on the fly, but the system didn’t support this approach.
To solve this problem, Astreca Consulting implemented Headless 360, an API-first integration framework that securely connected Salesforce with Microsoft Teams. The solution enabled users to view real-time Salesforce project information directly within Microsoft Teams without opening Salesforce in a browser, making reporting faster, more accessible, and seamlessly integrated into everyday collaboration.
