Problem statement :- A leading education company is having technical education-related products which they are selling it all over the US and Canada region’s school. They were already using sales logic which was a desktop base system but now they are moving to a web-based system for which they have selected as CRM and for Configuration and pricing setup they selected Apttus CPQ but Apttus CPQ does not have the functionality to associate product with Sites. Also, there are certain other features that are missing in Apttus CPQ. To resolve this we did some enhancement in theirSalesforce System with the Apttus CPQ system.

Project Length :- 1.5 year
Team Size :- 3

Our Role :- Our role was Apttus CPQ product Expert, Solution
architect and developer.
Challenges :-
1) Our first challenge was this project was already
developed by some other consultants. So the client actually gave this to three other consultants before they gave us.
2) We started modifying other consultant’s code and we found that it needs architecture changes.
3) They wanted to show 100000 records in a page without
pagination, which is technically not feasible, and salesforce is not allowing this using the VF page.
4) While Developing solutions we come across few governor limit issues such as Apex CPU time limit exceeds, Scripting statement, Heap size issue, view state limit, etc.

We provided the solution by creating one VF page and several object’s and associated those objects with Apttus database objects. We developed the following feature on that page.
