Client & product

Ideal State is a digital transformation partner to the social sector. They help NGOs, grantmakers and social enterprises reduce IT waste, boost the productivity and job satisfaction of the employees, and improve the user experience for their clients. Their services include Digital Workplace Design Design, Partner Communities, Change Management, and Knowledge Management. The company was launched in 2014 and is headquartered in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Many businesses say they want to make the world a better place. Ideal State is one of those who really do it. Noltic shares their values: both companies have a human-centered approach and drive for positive changes. This is what made our collaboration truly special.

Business challenge

The challenge arose when Ideal State decided to turn their Slack-based community into a full-fledged online customer community for changemakers working in nonprofits, educators, legislators, and philanthropists. The client was looking for a perfect platform to build this new community and that is where Noltic came into play with an idea to use Salesforce.

Previously, Ideal State was using Calendly scheduling software for organizing the work processes. So, to integrate its pre-existing tools into Salesforce was another important task for us. The Ideal State also had an idea of a toolkit that would include a broader functionality and additional services for the clients.
