Salesforce is a powerful general-purpose enterprise platform, but requires months of expensive custom software development and third-party implementation partners to handle student visa document vaults, offer letter stages, sub-agent ledgers, and Ministry of Education checklists. OBCRM Enterprise provides all of these features natively out-of-the-box.
Salesforce Education Cloud projects typically take 6 to 12 months for custom implementation. OBCRM Enterprise is fully configured for education agencies on day one and deploys in less than 24 hours.
Salesforce costs include user licenses, Education Cloud add-on fees, third-party AppExchange subscriptions, and continuous consultant retainer fees. OBCRM Enterprise is an all-inclusive flat-fee SaaS subscription, so the total cost of ownership is typically lower and more predictable — talk to us for a direct comparison against your current Salesforce spend.
