Following its California Environmental Health launch, ReDEFY has built professional licensing platforms for three states, covering each configured from that state’s own statutes, rules, and public forms.

HERNDON, Va., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ReDEFY, a pure-play Salesforce consulting partner, today extended its “Built Before the Meeting” request campaign to state professional licensing. ReDEFY has built working Salesforce licensing platforms for three states, covering both health and non-health professions, before requesting a first meeting with any of them. The builds can be viewed now at redefy.com/industries/public-sector/professional-licensing

State licensing agencies stand between a changing workforce, economic shifts in the labor market, and the employers with jobs ready to be filled. Real estate agents, nurses, teachers, pharmacists, counselors, contractors, accountants, cosmetologists, and dozens of other professions depend on these agencies for initial licensure, renewal, and continuing oversight. At the same time, agencies are absorbing a complex mix of budget availability, interstate licensure compacts, license recognition requirements, background check mandates, and public pressure to shorten time to license. Often their mission must be executed on legacy systems that were never designed for the SaaS era, much less, the AI era. Every board carries its own statute, fee schedule, renewal cycle, and continuing education rules, which is why a typical modernization effort begins with months of strategy and discovery before anything is built.

Licensing is a natural fit for Built Before because much of that discovery is already public. Enabling statutes, administrative rules, application forms, fee schedules, renewal calendars, and board meeting materials are published by the agencies themselves. ReDEFY translates that public record, and its team’s experience delivering licensing and regulatory programs on Salesforce, into a working platform built on Salesforce Public Sector Solutions for one specific state at a time. The builds cover online applications, credential and primary source verification, renewals and continuing education, fee collection, complaints and enforcement, and public license lookup. Only then does ReDEFY ask the agency for a meeting.

“A licensing agency should not have to explain its own statute to a vendor. It is already written down and published, they just have to help us find it,” said Manosh Chakravorty, Co-Founder and CEO of ReDEFY. “We read it, we review their website and forms, and then build it on Salesforce, and then we ask for the meeting. The first conversation is about their platform, not our pitch.”

“Health professions and non-health professions look similar from a distance and very different in the details,” said Karthik Akula, Co-Founder and CTO of ReDEFY. “Verification rules, supervision requirements, continuing education, and disciplinary workflows vary by profession and by state. Our agentic implementation methodology lets us capture that specificity before a contract, and our pre-production validation means every configuration decision is tested and traceable before an agency ever sees it.”

Every Built Before solution is configuration-first and native to Salesforce, not hard-coded on top of it. For licensing agencies that expect to run a system for a decade or more, that difference matters. Custom code generated outside the platform forks an agency off Salesforce’s three annual upgrades and creates technical debt from the first day. ReDEFY uses AI to accelerate the configuration build that stays on the platform, so each Salesforce release moves the agency forward.

When an agency engages ReDEFY for professional services, the pre-meeting build rolls directly into delivery as a no-cost project platform. ReDEFY then begins working with the client on workflow rationalization, data migration, integrations and managed services. The agency pays for the work that gets them live. But with a prebuilt platform there is little to no project risk and the time frame to go live is completely up to the customer. There is no vendor lock-in after go-live.

ReDEFY launched Built Before the Meeting request earlier in September 2026 with six Environmental Health builds for California counties ahead of the state’s CERS NextGen transition. Professional licensing is the second public sector vertical in the campaign, with additional builds underway.

“We are not showing licensing agencies the art of the possible on Salesforce,” said Chakravorty. “We are showing clients their specific state platform in a completed build, showing them their rules, regulations and forms.”

State licensing leaders and IT executives can view the professional licensing builds at redefy.com/industries/public-sector/professional-licensing and request a walkthrough of their state’s solution by contacting Alexandria Wilcox, Market Development Manager, at awilcox@redefy.com.

Before founding ReDEFY, Chakravorty and Akula built an award-winning Salesforce practice and exited it to a global systems integrator. They launched ReDEFY in 2026 with a team of senior Salesforce consultants to prove a simple thesis: Salesforce is not expensive, the legacy consulting model around it is.
