Project Name-Optimize UCPath operations through roadmap initiatives, standard Salesforce releases, UCPath monthly releases, and production support.

Business Purpose

A Salesforce Administrator contractor is needed to ensure continuity of operations while knowledge is transferred from the current Lead Administrator prior to retirement.

Without this replacement, UCPath faces the following risks:

Increased operational risk due to insufficient staffing to support daily administration, system maintenance, security, and production support activities.

Failure to consistently meet production support SLAs, resulting in longer resolution times for incidents, user requests, and critical business issues.

Reduced delivery velocity for project initiatives and monthly production releases as limited staff must prioritize operational support over planned enhancements.

Single-threaded knowledge and operational dependency, creating unacceptable business continuity risk if key personnel become unavailable.

Potential degradation of the Salesforce Case Management platform, UCPath's highest-priority Salesforce application, impacting the timely support of employees, locations, and business partners.

Reduced capacity for proactive system administration, including security configuration, certificate management, platform maintenance, release readiness, and compliance activities, increasing technical and operational risk.
