Salesforce Certified Identity and Access Management Designer

Recently I earned the Salesforce Certified Identity and Access Management Designer certification after passing the Salesforce Identity and Access Management Designer exam in my first attempt. This is my third certification. Now I am only one certification away from earning the Salesforce System Architect credentials. All of this has been a great experience I would like to share it with you.

I’m a Salesforce professional with working experience of more than seven years. Presently I’m working as a Corporate Integration architect in a global hyper-stores chain. I started my career with a software house after completing my bachelor’s in Marketing and PGD in Information Technology. I always had an interest in sales and marketing and never wanted a career in software development. I like computers and I like to utilize them but I never wanted to be a developer. That’s why I left my job with the software house as soon as I got a good chance to switch my job to CRM. From the very beginning, I found myself to be at home with CRM. My new employer was using the Salesforce platform. Very soon I developed a deeper interest in Salesforce. That was the time when I decided to build a sustainable career in Salesforce. Initially, I was interested in the Marketing domain. I worked with Pardot and earned Pardot Consultant and Pardot Specialist certifications. Afterward, I realized that it’s going to be a stagnant career in marketing with nothing much left to learn in terms of skill development. That was the time when I thought that I would go for a solution architect career. By that time I was quite comfortable with the Salesforce platform with more than 5 years of amalgamated experience. I then started seeking the certification for the same. Within six months I did the Solution architect track starting from  Certified Marketing Cloud Email Specialist to Certified B2C Solution Architect. These days I’m busy with my System Architect track. So far I have earned three certifications which are as follows;

  1. Platform Developer I
  2. Integration Architecture Designer
  3. Identity and Access Management Designer

Next month I am going for the fourth and final certification of my track for System Architect and that is Development Lifecycle and Deployment Designer.

Throughout my certification journey in Salesforce (9 so far), I have found that it has only been possible with hard work, a focused approach, and a regular study schedule. Practice tests play a very important role in your preparation. For training material, I have always trusted DumpsMate for their innovative PDF + Testing Engine. Dumps Mate provides you well-researched training material with a money-back guarantee. The best thing about DumpsMate is the braindumps which are carefully compiled by experienced professionals.

In my opinion dedication and quality training material can make a great difference in any certification exam.
