In this episode of the CPQ Podcast, Frank Sohn welcomes back Manika Goyal, CEO and co-founder of Intellicloud Solutions, a Salesforce-focused system integrator. With more than 22 years of experience in telecom, Salesforce architecture, and enterprise transformation, Manika shares what has changed since her first appearance two years ago. Drawing on recent Revenue Cloud implementations in manufacturing, high-tech, and telecom, Manika explains why moving from legacy CPQ solutions should be treated as a consulting-led transformation rather than a simple lift-and-shift. She discusses what to preserve, what to simplify, and why a greenfield approach often makes sense. The conversation also explores where Salesforce Revenue Cloud has matured, particularly in product catalog management, and where challenges remain, including complex pricing, amendments, document generation, and integrations. Manika shares lessons from a manufacturing transformation that streamlined product configuration, standardized pricing, and simplified the lead-to-order process. AI is another major topic. How can AI agents accelerate CPQ implementations, product modeling, and data migration without introducing unnecessary risks? Manika discusses Intellicloud's Intellimigrate, Intelliconfig AI, and Intelliengage solutions, including the use of natural language to simplify product modeling. She also explains why human oversight remains essential, sharing an example of how insufficient review of AI-generated pricing decisions can cause revenue leakage.&amp;nbsp; Whether you're evaluating Salesforce Revenue Cloud, planning a CPQ migration, or exploring AI in quote-to-cash processes, this episode offers practical insights from real implementation experiences.
