Force.com Edition

Delivering On-Demand Success ... Now Across the Enterprise

Over the past few years, on-demand CRM applications went from being the choice of the most forward-thinking organizations to becoming the corporate standard. Now that businesses have embraced the benefits of software-as-a-service model for CRM, they want to extend those benefits to the rest of the enterprise.

Force.com Edition makes it easy to create and deploy applications to departments that don’t use CRM applications. With the new Force.com Edition, companies can create their own custom applications for any user group in their organizations—or use third-party applications from the AppExchange—and then run them on the Force.com platform.

With Force.com Edition, you have the following capabilities at your fingertips.

  • Create custom apps: Let your business users and developers create your own unique apps on Force.com, to support the precise requirements of your business.
  • Move beyond CRM: Take advantage of the dozens of on-demand business apps available in the AppExchange, for everything from recruiting, to project management, to compliance, and much more.
  • Provide analytics: Get the same powerful reporting, dashboard, and analytic capabilities of the full Salesforce CRM application.
  • Leverage the complete platform: Everything you do is backed by the power of Force.com, the world’s first on-demand platform.

With Force.com Edition organizations can run the entire enterprise on demand, extending the benefits of the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model to every department .
