3 3 AGILEPOINT FOR SALESFORCE Go Beyond Data Sharing Welcome Salesforce and Microsoft recently announced a new strategic partnership to create solutions that connect salesforce.com s customer relationship management product to Microsoft Office and Windows. The bridge they are providing is basic data sharing between their products. At AgilePoint we believe that while this is a good thing, customers need more than simple data sharing in today s interconnected enterprise. Enterprise systems are more than just CRM and Office documents and data. Most organizations have many additional systems and third-party software systems that depend on and interact with Salesforce and Office. Now Salesforce Changes Can Trigger Enterprise-Wide Results When someone updates Salesforce information it can affect many other workflows and systems in your organization. For example, marking a Salesforce Opportunity as Closed usually signals the beginning of a delivery or fulfillment cycle, invoice processing, inventory changes and evaluations, etc. Changing an Opportunity to the Contracting or Legal state often initiates the need for credit checking. Changes in sales forecasts may cascade down to revisions in manufacturing planning and supply chain changes. With AgilePoint, changes in Salesforce data and states can start enterprise workflows.

5 5 WHAT IS MISSING? CRM IS ONLY ONE PART OF YOUR ENTERPRISE Using Salesforce for your CRM is a good choice but actions and changes in the Salesforce system frequently have an organization-wide impact. With AgilePoint, you can reflect Salesforce changes in state and data in your other systems, and you can share data between those systems in cross-departmental enterprise workflows.

6 6 AGILEPOINT IS THE BRIDGE A GATEWAY TO PEOPLE, OTHER SYSTEMS, AND THE REST OF YOUR ENTERPRISE Many organizations adopt a best-of-breed enterprise software strategy where financial systems may be from one vendor while ERP, content management, HR, marketing automation, manufacturing systems, etc. are from others. AgilePoint enterprise workflow applications connect people to people, people to systems and systems to systems to deliver engaging, personalized customer experiences using flexible and dynamic business logic and rules triggered by Salesforce events, data changes and social collaboration interactions.

Storing and maintaining documents in the tool that fits your organization best, while integrating access to documents and other content with Salesforce, is easy with AgilePoint. Store your content where you want and AgilePoint can integrate it with Salesforce information. Credit checks, customer on-boarding, invoicing and collections are all part of the opportunity-to-cash cycle. Connect all your interdependent systems quickly and easily with AgilePoint. Imagine credit checking happening automatically when a Salesforce opportunity moves to the Contracting stage. When sales close an order in Salesforce shouldn t customer on-boarding begin automatically? Some organizations utilize their ERP system for most of their enterprise system needs. Others use only select parts of the ERP offering. Either way, AgilePoint can help you share data seamlessly between Salesforce and Dynamics, SAP, NetSuite, etc. Use Salesforce events and changes in data to kick off enterprise workflows that interact directly with your ERP components clear back to your supply chain.

AgilePoint provides easy and secure access to database assets stored in virtually all major database systems. Creating enterprise workflows using Salesforce data is now as simple and easy as using your traditional databases. You may call them HR systems, Talent Management or Human Capital Management, but every enterprise needs to manage people resources. From talent search to policy management, AgilePoint provides access to information your enterprise workflows need. For example, AgilePoint can automatically add sales and marketing personnel directly to Salesforce as part of your employee on-boarding process. Manufacturing systems are too often stand alone silos because they are difficult to integrate with other enterprise systems. Not so with AgilePoint. Salesforce information like closed sales and sales forecasts can be used to update manufacturing requirements, priorities, plant floor loading and finished goods inventories, reflecting the realtime needs of customers and providing priorities for suppliers.
