A gap analysis is a key step in identifying different business processes and outlining encompassing system flows based on the existing environment when setting up Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (FSC). A gap analysis is a method of comparing the current state of a system or process with the desired future state and identifying the gaps or differences between them. By conducting a gap analysis, a consultant can understand the customer's painpoints, requirements,and expectations and design a solution that leverages the best practices and features of Salesforce FSC.
