Moreover, we found Pumex to be very open to collaboration; they even offered a modified pricing model that was advantageous based on project development. Describe the project's scope in detail, covering the steps, key deliverables, and technologies utilized. The community connector was developed using Salesforce Community Cloud and linked to our Salesforce instance.
