This year marks a significant milestone for CEPTES – our 15th anniversary! As we reflect on this roller-coaster ride, the overwhelming sentiment is – gratitude. Gratitude for the trust placed in us, the challenges that have shaped us, and the incredible achievements we’ve celebrated together.
A Seed Planted, a Forest Grown
In 2010, with nothing more than a dream, our founders Mr. Priya Ranjan Panigrahy & Mr. Harish Kumar Poolakade dared to launch CEPTES, a company yet to find its product, customers, or even funding.
With time, CEPTES grew as a team of dreamers, data wizards, and tech gurus – a diverse family united by a relentless pursuit of excellence. Together, we’ve become a trusted partner for our clients, not just providing solutions, but forging connections based on transparent communication, trust and accountability.
A Journey of Growth and Innovation
Over the years, we’ve expanded our offerings, venturing into new territories and forging strong partnerships. From acquiring our first client to launching new products in AppExchange with bigger offices and growing employee strength – CEPTES has come a long way.
Product Launches:
We launched our first product, Ext FM, in 2012, establishing a strong foundation in the market. Since then, we’ve consistently expanded our offerings with innovative solutions. Our first breakthrough came with XfilesPro, an innovative solution that addressed the file management limitations within Salesforce. XfilesPro’s success fueled the development of a suite of industry-leading products, including DataArchiva, Encryptik, RealE 360, 200 OK, AI Copilot, Engage and CRM Booster.
Customer & Employee Growth:
We’ve grown alongside our customers, building a loyal base that continues to expand. From a small team in 2011, we’ve become a global force with over 500 employees serving hundreds of satisfied clients. Recognizing the global nature of business today, we established offices in strategic locations around the world. From the heart of India, CEPTES has expanded its global footprint to include offices in Dallas, Dubai, and the Netherlands. Our international presence allows us to better serve our clients across the globe, fostering a truly international culture of excellence.
Recognition for Excellence:
Our relentless pursuit of excellence resonated throughout the industry. We’ve been listed as Gartner Recommended Vendor for our data archiving solution. CEPTES won the first DemoJam award at TrailheaDX India 2019. In 2022 and 2023, we secured prestigious awards, including the Salesforce Partner Innovation Award for Innovation, Salesforce APAC Partner of the Year, Salesforce India Ideathon Award, Salesforce Partner Innovation Award for Customer 360 (ISV), and Salesforce Partner Innovation Award for Industry – Telecom (ISV).
A Culture of Inclusivity:
CEPTES goes beyond impressive achievements and industry recognition to foster a culture that prioritizes its people. Our commitment to continuous improvement extends beyond projects – recently achieving ISO 27001 certification demonstrates our dedication to streamlined processes. Additionally, we champion inclusivity through initiatives specifically designed to support freshers from non-Salesforce backgrounds as well as women re-entering the workforce after career breaks, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
This blend of recognition, well-being, and a focus on human potential creates a vibrant and supportive atmosphere where our team feels valued, empowered, and ready to push boundaries. We’re recognized as the Best Place to Work, alongside numerous other accolades that celebrate our commitment to our people.
Continuous Learning:
At CEPTES, we foster a culture of continuous learning and exploration. By embracing new ideas and technologies, we strive to deliver even greater value to our customers. CEPTES is one of the few Salesforce partners that embraces emerging technology quickly. We started working when products were not released in the market or not matured like : Salesforce Shield/Privacy Center, Big Object, Vlocity, Einstein AI, Einstein Analytics, Salesforce connect, slack apex interface, DataWeave etc.
Winning with Gratitude
Winning, for CEPTES, isn’t just about achieving market dominance. It’s about creating lasting value for our clients, employees, and the communities we serve. We believe that gratitude is the cornerstone of this philosophy. We wouldn’t be here today without the unwavering support of our customers and partners. We are incredibly grateful for the long-lasting partnerships we’ve built and look forward to continuing to exceed your expectations.
Looking Ahead: A Brighter Future
As we embark on the next chapter, we offer our heartfelt thanks to each of our partners and employees who have been part of our story. Your contributions, big and small, have shaped CEPTES into the organization it is today. We are incredibly grateful for your trust, support, and belief in our vision. Our focus on sustainable practices extends beyond the company, allowing us to create a positive impact on the communities we serve.
Here’s to 15 years of success, and to many more years of growth and shared achievements!
