Salesforce - A brief overview To be effective in business you need to be able to track and assimilate information from several different sources. Even the smallest organisations will have accounts, invoices, orders, emails and budgets, and keeping on top of them can be a challenge which will require a highly effective and competent Customer Relationship Management System (CRM). Salesforce is the world s leading cloud-based CRM system, and it facilitates the centralisation of all the tools you need to keep your business running. Founded in 1999 and based in San Francisco, the Salesforce platform allows its subscribers to organise all of their important business information in an intuitive manner to help save time and increase efficiency. It is now the fastest-growing CRM system on the planet and with over two million subscribers; and Forbes Magazine has ranked Salesforce.com as the world s Most Innovative Company for three years in a row. 3. Your current CRM requirments The key to Salesforce s success has been the way they have created accessible and informationrich dashboards which can be easily customised to suit the requirements of each user. The main screen contains tabs which show the user their key accounts and targets, their tasks for the day and dashboards showing overall performance. One popular feature included is the ability to be able to synchronise Salesforce to your Microsoft Outlook account, allowing you to centralise all of your calendars and emails into one place which you can access from a range of different devices. In addition to their CRM offering, Salesforce offers an AppExchange for cloud computing applications built for the Salesforce community and delivered by partners and third-party developers which users can install and add to their Salesforce environment. There are currently over 2,000 applications available on the AppExchange and these are built by Salesforce partners within their own developer platform, called Force.com using proprietary coding languages Apex and Visualforce. A consulting partner for over three years, Rhetorik has created an application for integrating ICT marketing database, NetFinder, with Salesforce. We can help you define your requirements whether you re: already using Salesforce, looking to migrate to Salesforce from a different CRM system like Sage, SAP or Microsoft Dynamics, considering using a proper CRM system for the first time. 1
