Hi Kathy,
not saying it's impossible, but you're looking for the golden-egg-laying-milk-cow to top it all :-)
Our company ditched MS-CRM about 2 years ago and was supposed to integrate SalesForce with GP.. I'm still waiting on the integration specs :-).. Our sales department has been struggling ever since they started the implementation and use of SF.. I've never understand the move, as we could have simply upgraded our old CRM 4.0 to the latest build (2013) and keep all our customization that were built over the years..
But someone, somehow was a better seller, and most importantly, the decision was made by IT.. so this explains that. (they didn't had to maintain anything, as it's all cloud-based)..
We do own SmartConnect and I know that eOne has also a connector tor SalesForce (and I saw a demo by eOne that was impressive).. So it shouldn't be that complicated, but again, depends on your requirements and use of SF.
Good luck.

Subject: Possible to find a Salesforce admin/analyst and GP admin in one person?
We are in the process of implementing Salesforce (yes, I advocated for Microsoft CRM). We are looking to hire a Salesforce administrator/business analyst in what would likely be a part-time role. I am also looking to hire an onsite part time GP administrator. Ideally, we would like to combine the two into 1 full time position (recognizing the inherent risk of multiple priorities). Just wondering if this seems like a position that could be combined? Note: this is not a job posting and we have an in-house recruiter. I'm just trying to see if it's realistic to think we can find someone with the skills for both positions. Thanks for any input you can provide?
