Unstructured lodgement
Applications and requests arrive as attachments and are re-keyed by staff.
Salesforce Experience Cloud
Experience Cloud gives external users a secure, accessible way to lodge, track and collaborate on the same platform your teams use internally. BD-S delivers customer, citizen, partner and supplier portals that are designed for identity, security and accessibility from the start.
The business problem
External users still work through email, PDFs and phone calls when the platform behind them could serve them directly.
Applications and requests arrive as attachments and are re-keyed by staff.
Status enquiries generate calls because there is nowhere to look.
Bespoke web applications that fall out of step with the systems behind them.
External access needs authentication, authorisation and data isolation designed in, not bolted on.
What we deliver
Authenticated self-service for cases, applications, payments and updates.
Shared pipelines, referrals, claims and collaboration with external organisations.
Lodgement and information services that do not require an account where policy allows.
Guided submission, document upload, status tracking and secure messaging.
Help content, knowledge articles and guided answers surfaced to the right audience.
OmniStudio guided forms embedded in the portal experience.
Salesforce technology
Implementation
WCAG 2.2 AA templates, plain-language forms and testing with assistive technology.
Salesforce identity, external identity providers and single sign-on configured for the audience, with sharing sets and audiences controlling data visibility.
Sharing model designed so external users see only their own records and nothing else.
Page design, caching and licensing chosen for the expected audience size and peaks.
Portals surface data from Service Cloud and Public Sector Solutions and, through MuleSoft, from records, payment and identity systems. OmniStudio provides the guided forms; Agentforce can add guided self-service.
Governance and security
Ongoing support
Portals change as programs and policies change. The BD-S managed service covers content, form and configuration updates, identity changes and monitoring.
