With over 17 years of specialized experience in financial services, we’re more than just a Salesforce implementation partner – we’re data architecture experts who transform how organizations leverage their technology investments. Our platinum-rated solutions on AppExchange and G2 reflect our commitment to excellence, particularly in helping financial institutions navigate complex regulatory requirements while optimizing their data for AI readiness and advanced analytics. By understanding that each business has unique needs, we deliver tailored solutions that bridge the gap between technical implementation and strategic business value, ensuring our clients not only succeed with Salesforce but thrive in their digital transformation journey.
The year was 2008. The Dark Knight was dominating the box office, the iPhone 3G was shaking up mobile communication and a young entrepreneur named Vamsi Bollineni and his collegeues were ruminating on an idea that would one day become Access Global Group (AGG).
While many saw Salesforce as simply another passing trend, Vamsi and his team saw the ways it could become an important tool for how companies operate and grow. They saw the ways Salesforce could really create meaningful change by streamlining processes, increasing efficiency, and completely upending our understanding of what was possible in customer engagement. An idea began to materialize. The team envisioned creating a company that not only helped partners understand the complexities of Salesforce but also helped drive growth and revenue.
But to create a business off of an idea alone is no simple task. In the beginning, there were many “no’s,” doors closed, and phone lines going dead. Holding tight to their shared belief that a company helping partners in their journey with Salesforce would prove to be invaluable, they got to work. A diverse team of experts founded Access Global Group (AGG), driven by their collective passion for delivering solutions and support to the “Big Four” consulting firms—an approach that proved highly successful.
Becoming Access Global Group
Over time, Access Global Group has truly lived up to our name as a global company, with teams spanning the United States, Canada, and India. This geographical diversity reflects our talent strategy—we’ve always believed that exceptional solutions come from exceptional people, no matter where they call home. With over 1700 Salesforce projects sweeping 5 countries, AGG evolved from a simple idea into an organization boasting boutique agility with global reach.
As Access Global Group has grown, we have truly evolved into becoming a partner for the people. AGG now stands among the top 1% of Salesforce partners worldwide. With over 17 years of specialized experience across industries, we’ve evolved beyond traditional Salesforce implementation into true data architecture experts, transforming how organizations leverage their technology investments.
Through our offerings: Salesforce implementation, Salesforce integration, Salesforce optimization, Salesforce managed services, and Salesforce AI & data services we help businesses of varying sizes and industries on their journey of digital transformation. Our strategies help to close interdepartmental gaps and create sustainable business strategies through thorough assessments, diligent planning, custom configurations, comprehensive deployment, and support.
Collectively, our team has over 400 Salesforce certifications, allowing us to implement and integrate a variety of Salesforce products to supplement businesses’ digital strategy. Our unique project methodology is rooted in our commitment to our customers. When we sit down with a client, we ensure their concerns are not only understood but thoroughly addressed in our work with them. Our goal is to be by our clients’ side every step of the way, and even after deployment, we offer managed services to ensure continued success. Whether a company needs existing team support, support for a project already underway, ongoing support, or something else, we help our clients navigate a myriad of business challenges—together.
We have been privileged to work and learn alongside some of the most talented and dedicated professionals in the industry, enabling us to become the 5-star rated and trusted Salesforce Summit Partner we are today.
The world looks different than it did in 2008. Those first-generation iPhones have evolved into pocket-sized supercomputers, and Access Global Group has undergone its own remarkable transformation. From our earliest days of determined cold calls to becoming a global leader in Salesforce innovation, every challenge has shaped who we are. As we look back on these 17 years, we see more than just company milestones—we see a story of persistence, innovation, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
