Case Study

Global CRM replatform transforms distribution effectiveness across a European asset manager

Client Challenges

A European asset manager (€750bn+ AUM) faced fragmented Salesforce adoption across global distribution teams, with misaligned processes and a data model ill-suited to industry complexity. Without a clear CRM vision or ownership, sales activity was difficult to monitor and client data remained underutilised.

Alpha conducted a full diagnostic of the European asset manager’s existing Salesforce instance, uncovering functional gaps, technical debt, and process misalignment across business lines, channels, and geographies. The team built the business case for replatforming, deployed quick wins in the legacy instance, and designed a new instance aligned to industry best practices. An agile build methodology was adopted, supported by rigorous data cleansing, change management, and early involvement of CRM champions to drive adoption. A new BAU organization was established to sustain the platform beyond delivery. The 18-month transformation delivered a future-proofed, globally aligned distribution platform that measurably improved sales effectiveness, client engagement, and management information across institutional, wholesale, and internal networks.
