The Salesforce Platform
When we type “Customer Relationship Management” or even just
“CRM” into Google, one of the first results we get pertains to Salesforce, and
for good reason… Salesforce is the
number one CRM in the world. Not only does Salesforce operate as a SaaS
(software as a service), it also provides users use as a PaaS (platform as a
service). One of the best parts about the Salesforce platform is an
unparalleled level of customizability where you can build your applications, according
to your business needs.
In this post, we will go into greater detail on the
Salesforce platform.
Salesforce Platform:
The Salesforce platform, also known as the lightning the platform, can help you build some of the most innovative applications required
by your business. The Salesforce platform also supports the programmatic way of
customizing applications, and interactions between any third-party
applications.
Integrate with Open Frameworks
Do you happen to desire to build your app on another
framework or language such as Ruby, Java, PHP, etc and want to be sure the data
flows into Salesforce? Salesforce can do that too! With the help of the unique
platform, you can run, deploy, and manage any enterprise app in whichever
language you’d like. You can even integrate those applications directly into
Salesforce! Through microservice applications in Heroku, you can also get data
from IoT devices pushed directly into Salesforce!
Collaborate with Salesforce Products
Let us say you have created your own application on the
Salesforce platform, can you now also use standard CRM functionality or some of
the products like Einstein Analytics, etc? Yes! You will have access to all the
offerings that Salesforce is providing to its products.
App Exchange
Now, let’s say you have successfully built the application
and want to share it with those who are involved in the same type of business
as yours. Salesforce provides the No.1 Enterprise app store for such app
distribution, and you can even monetize it! You can even look for other apps
that are already distributed in AppExchange that maybe suited for your own
business process.
Conclusion
Salesforce is a powerful platform that can help you create
innovative and specialized apps for your business. This platform typically
receives three releases in a year, and Salesforce continues to consistently
update their offerings as a platform. Recently, Salesforce has even announced
the launch of its blockchain platform to facilitate building blockchain
networks.
