BD-S

Salesforce Experience Cloud

Secure digital experiences for customers, citizens and partners

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

What this solves

External users still work through email, PDFs and phone calls when the platform behind them could serve them directly.

Unstructured lodgement

Applications and requests arrive as attachments and are re-keyed by staff.

No visibility for the applicant

Status enquiries generate calls because there is nowhere to look.

Custom portals that drift

Bespoke web applications that fall out of step with the systems behind them.

Identity as an afterthought

External access needs authentication, authorisation and data isolation designed in, not bolted on.

What we deliver

Portals and digital services we deliver

  • Customer and citizen portals

    Authenticated self-service for cases, applications, payments and updates.

  • Partner and supplier experiences

    Shared pipelines, referrals, claims and collaboration with external organisations.

  • Public and anonymous services

    Lodgement and information services that do not require an account where policy allows.

    Guided submission, document upload, status tracking and secure messaging.

  • Content and knowledge

    Help content, knowledge articles and guided answers surfaced to the right audience.

  • Digital forms

    OmniStudio guided forms embedded in the portal experience.

Implementation

Accessibility and secure design

Accessible by design

WCAG 2.2 AA templates, plain-language forms and testing with assistive technology.

Identity and access

Salesforce identity, external identity providers and single sign-on configured for the audience, with sharing sets and audiences controlling data visibility.

Data isolation

Sharing model designed so external users see only their own records and nothing else.

Performance and scale

Page design, caching and licensing chosen for the expected audience size and peaks.

Integration

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
