Chicago, IL – Salesforce Systems Integrator, Wave6, has partnered with Canadian digital consulting and innovation agency, Soshal. The partnership will marry Soshal’s visual, user interface, and user experience design capabilities with Wave6’s existing practice areas, which include Salesforce1 Platform development and Salesforce Communities implementations.

“We were introduced through a mutual client,” explains Soshal’s CEO, Dave Hale. “Over time, we’ve built strong synergies between our two companies and have some exciting Salesforce, web, and mobile projects underway.”

Further strengthening the partnership, both Wave6 and Soshal share a great deal of experience in the higher education industry, listing well over 30 active clients across Canada and the United States.

Wave6 has proven themselves as a standout Salesforce Systems Integrator and Soshal’s unbelievable talent in Communities design, user interface, and user experience will drive tremendous results for our Higher Education customers as they transition to becoming ‘Salesforce for Higher Educationes’.

With offices currently situated in Ottawa, Toronto, and Calgary, Canada, Soshal will open its first US office in Chicago housed within Wave6.

“We believe this partnership will drive incredible value for our clients,” says Greg Lewis, CEO at Wave6. “They were looking for a Salesforce partner and we were looking for innovative digital capabilities to build exciting customer-facing Communities portals and mobile applications on the Salesforce1 platform.
