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.
