Description
About the Team
The Digital Enterprise Experience (DEX) team blazes the trail of enterprise technology. Built on the foundation of our core values, our team encompasses more than traditional IT functions, focusing heavily on close collaboration with our business partners to achieve strategic business objectives. Our goal is to deliver technology centered around our business and our collective success.
We oversee technology strategy, Salesforce on Salesforce, employee productivity and experience, applications engineering, infrastructure, collaboration, enterprise operations, architecture, and program enablement. We own the world's foremost Salesforce implementation and enable our global teams to do their best work by leveraging our platform.
