Salesforce CRM and Force.com on the iPhone - Delivering Mobile Applications for the Enterprise
Just as cell phones revolutionized the way we communicate, mobile access to business applications will change the way companies work, liberating users from their desks. With its powerful features and intuitive user interface, the iPhone will accelerate the mobile business application revolution.
The Apple iPhone SDK has enabled salesforce.com to build a Salesforce Mobile client application for the iPhone. Salesforce Mobile for iPhone integrates with the iPhone's native functions such as email, phone and maps, to make mobile workers incredibly productive. Sales reps can now use their iPhones to:
- Quickly navigate through key customer records such as accounts, contacts and opportunities
- Initiate phone calls and emails from within Salesforce CRM
- Query the Salesforce CRM application for desired customer information and have it sent to their iPhone
These Force.com applications range from expense management and recruiting applications in the human resources department to pharmaceutical applications that manage drug sample and doctor interactions, to insurance claims processing applications used in the field and much more. Developers building applications natively on Force.com can now deliver them on iPhone without writing any extra code. Similarly, businesses will be able to quickly mobilize and access their custom Force.com applications on the iPhone.
