How Summit Brings Ohana to Life: Building an Awesome Company Culture

Building an Awesome Company Culture

In the Salesforce ecosystem, the concept of “Ohana”—a Hawaiian term meaning family—represents the culture of inclusivity, support, and mutual respect. At Summit, we’ve embraced Ohana as more than a guiding principle; it’s the foundation of our company culture. Building an awesome company culture is not just a goal, it’s something we live every day. Here’s how we bring Ohana to life and create an environment where employees and clients feel valued, supported, and empowered.

A Culture of Collaboration

At Summit, teamwork isn’t just encouraged—it’s essential. We foster a collaborative environment where every voice matters and diverse perspectives drive innovative solutions. Building an awesome company culture means breaking down silos and promoting open communication to ensure our employees feel connected and aligned in achieving shared goals.

Commitment to Growth and Development

Our people are our greatest asset, and we invest heavily in their growth. From Salesforce certifications to leadership training, we provide resources and opportunities for continuous learning. Building an awesome company culture involves empowering our team with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. We believe that when our team members succeed, so does Summit.

Living Our Values Every Day

Our core values—integrity, innovation, and community—are at the heart of everything we do. We’re committed to:

  • Integrity: Acting with honesty and transparency in all interactions.
  • Innovation: Encouraging creativity and forward-thinking to solve challenges.
  • Community: Building an awesome company culture starts with fostering strong relationships within our team and with our clients.

Celebrating Success Together

We believe in recognizing and celebrating achievements, big and small. From team shout-outs to company-wide awards like our “Lightning Rookie of the Year,” we make sure every contribution is acknowledged. These celebrations reinforce our sense of belonging and shared success. Building an awesome company culture means celebrating the wins, no matter how big or small.

Supporting Work-Life Balance

Ohana extends beyond the workplace. We understand the importance of work-life balance and offer flexible schedules, remote work opportunities, and wellness initiatives. By supporting our team members’ well-being, we create an environment where they can thrive both personally and professionally.

Giving Back to the Community

At Summit, we’re committed to making a positive impact beyond our business. Whether it’s through volunteer initiatives, fundraising efforts, or pro bono projects, we actively support the communities we serve. These efforts reflect our dedication to living the spirit of Ohana. Building an awesome company culture involves not only focusing on our internal team but also giving back to the larger community.

Why Culture Matters

A strong company culture isn’t just about creating a positive work environment—it’s about building a sustainable future. When employees feel connected, supported, and valued, they’re more engaged and motivated to deliver exceptional results. This commitment to culture is why Summit has been recognized as one of the best places to work, year after year.

"Easy to Work With"
Angie W.

Northwoods worked with Summit to help migrate our Microsoft Dynamics CRM system to Salesforce.  Summit was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to work with.  They were able to help us configure the system to handle complex business processes while making the system easy for end users.  They were also able to migrate all our legacy Dynamics data to the new Salesforce system.  Summit helped train our technical team on Salesforce administration while keeping the project on time and under budget.  I highly recommend Summit for any Salesforce-related project.

"Mind Blowing!"
Rachael H.

As a leader of a small non-profit aimed to scale rapidly and efficiently, I knew it was critical to transition from antiquated spreadsheets to a sophisticated CRM. We dabbled in Salesforce on our own the year prior. To put it mildly, I was terrified to go there again. Summit met my apprehension with confidence and reassurance. They were timely, efficient and positioned us to utilize Salesforce in ways we hadn’t imagined. Every day I’m in awe of what Salesforce can do; to the team’s credit for imparting their wisdom. Summit has positioned us for unprecedented opportunities at Walk with a Doc. Thank you!

"BEST Salesforce Consultant Available"
Catherine Z.

We went through 3 consultants before finding Summit. The difference was night and day, and the cost was very reasonable. They helped us get our Communities up and running in less than a week (after 2 other teams essentially dragged their feet for 9 months - yes, 9 months!). We are ecstatic! We also have Managed Services with them, for a few hundred bucks a month they are our go-to for anything Salesforce. The team is INSTANTLY responsive - like within 2 minutes. I have experienced other consultants and can tell you, there is no comparison. Hire Summit!

"Did a Wonderful Job"
Paige B.

We have primarily been using Salesforce for our sales team. Recently we decided to bring our support team on and Summit did an awesome job helping us get everything set up the way we needed.

"Great Learning and Implementation"
Annette H.

Great experience with Summit. They are very knowledgeable about Salesforce and their turn around is outstanding. I am looking forward to working Part 2 of our plan with them.

"Transformation Data w/ Excellent Service"
Kay W.

The skill set and knowledge that Summit has brought to this project far surpasses our initial expectation- especially since our initial contact with Salesforce corp. was challenged in regards to utilizing training videos to suit our scope and need. Summit and team has been helpful in supporting our team with a custom solution in order for us to be able to serve our community better. They are timely and professional, and eager to learn about the why before telling us the what.

"Made our Dream CRM a Reality!"
Matt S.

Summit made our Salesforce dream a reality. As a small non-profit on a limited budget with very specific CRM needs we were challenged to find a suitable Salesforce partner. Fortunately we were introduced to Summit, and from day one they made the formidable task of implementing Salesforce doable (and even enjoyable!). The Summit team are pros, from their accessibility and communication to industry knowledge and attitude, they never said 'no' to a request. When we encountered hiccups along the way they took the time to trouble shoot and make fixes, even when it was outside the original scope of the project. We didn't deviate from the project timeline or budget, which says a lot considering our custom needs for data collection/reporting, donor communication, and third party plug-ins. If you are considering implementing Salesforce or have any Salesforce needs, I highly recommend Summit and their team.
