In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, efficient data management has become paramount. Enterprises are constantly seeking ways to optimize their operations, reduce costs, and enhance user experiences. One such innovative approach involves migrating Salesforce attachments to Amazon Web Services (AWS) Simple Storage Service (S3) while still maintaining seamless access through Salesforce Cloud Files. This strategic migration not only optimizes storage but also improves system performance. In this article, we'll explore how to achieve this using Informatica IICS and Python.

These attachments are often essential for business operations and can quickly accumulate, consuming significant storage space within Salesforce. This situation can lead to increased operational costs and reduced system performance.
