I had the pleasure of working with Artichoke when our organization's SalesForce team lead of 10+ years resigned. Our system and association is unique in terms of needs and customizations, but Artichoke has stepped in with their expertise to meet our customized needs while helping us become less nuanced. Everything is approached with an excellent customer service focus, suburb organization skills, while helping to improve and enhance our CRM. We are grateful for their team's excellent work!

Super organized and great user support. The result was a very quick adoption rate from our users and ease of implementation. Win/win for everyone!

The Artichoke team is a pleasure to work with. The team is professional, reliable, extremely organized, and has the technical expertise that our organization needed. The Artichoke team went above and beyond on one particular project with a very tight, quick turnaround. We were very appreciative.

Great to work with. Asked great questions to understand complex processes and provide solutions.

Artichoke was great! Working with them felt like we hired a permanent team instead of a consultant to do a single job. They cared to learn the ins and outs of our business and make sure the product being delivered fit. As an added bonus they are genuinely good people who are a joy to work with!

I had the pleasure of working with Artitchoke Consulting (Michael specifically), and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. He was incredibly organized — every milestone was clearly defined, timelines were met, and communication was seamless throughout the entire engagement. He can navigate complex requirements and coordinate across multiple stakeholders. It's rare to find someone who balances the big-picture program thinking with the detailed day-to-day execution as well as he does. If you're in the Portland area and looking for a professional services partner who truly delivers, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. They set the bar for what a great consulting engagement should look like.

I’ve known Michael Brandwein through professional circles and had the opportunity to participate in one of Artichoke’s First Friday sessions, where I was invited to present to the group. Michael creates a thoughtful, inclusive environment that encourages meaningful discussion and shared learning. He’s an excellent facilitator, brings clarity to complex topics, and creates space for meaningful dialogue and shared learning. If you’re looking for a collaborative partner in the Salesforce ecosystem, especially around change, adoption, and leadership, Artichoke is a great choice!

We partnered with Artichoke Consulting for professional services over the last 12+ months to assist our Saleforce Admin in various projects and they quickly became vauable partners to us. Michael, located in Portland and his team are highly knowledgeable with exceptional documentation processes that are clear and actionable regarding every thing they deliver. I highly recommend them for anyone needing Salesforce help.

I had the opportunity to hear Michael from Artichoke Consulting speak at Forcelandia, and I was really impressed with his approach to Salesforce discovery. His perspective on understanding client needs before jumping into solutions really stood out and reflects a thoughtful, professional services mindset. I also connected with him during my job search and found him to be genuine, knowledgeable, and supportive. Based on that experience, I’d definitely recommend keeping Artichoke Consulting on your radar if you’re in the Salesforce ecosystem, especially in the Portland area.

Working with Artichoke Consulting has been a fantastic experience. The team is knowledgeable, collaborative, and genuinely invested in delivering solutions that make a difference. What really stands out is that it feels like a true partnership. They take the time to understand your business, your people, and your goals and not just the technical requirements. There’s a clear focus on the human side of the work, ensuring that impact and adoption are never secondary to the technology itself. They bring a thoughtful approach to process, communicate clearly throughout, and create an environment where you feel supported every step of the way. Highly recommend working with them if you’re looking for a team that cares as much about outcomes and people as they do about the solution.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Artichoke Consulting on a Salesforce project, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the first discovery meeting, their professionalism stood out. The Artichoke team took the time to truly understand our business needs and delivered focused SOW’s and were highly engaged in finding a solution that fit our requirements. Artichoke Consulting brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise and genuine care for their clients. They communicated clearly throughout the entire process, kept everything clear and easy to understand, and were always available to answer questions. What impressed me most was how they translated complex Salesforce functionality into sharp executable timelines and deliverables. If you're looking for a Salesforce partner who treats your business like their own, look no further. Artichoke Consulting is the team you want in your corner. Five stars, without hesitation!
