What Is Salesforce?
The CRM software Salesforce is a product of the software company of the same name, headquartered in San Francisco. Salesforce is now the leading provider of CRM software, has over 30,000 employees and has offices all over the world. It is one of the fastest growing companies among the top five providers of enterprise software and has been listed among the "100 Best Companies to Work for" by Fortune Magazine for nine years in a row.
As a product, Salesforce is changing more and more from a pure CRM system to a holistic cloud software provider. It can be understood as an ecosystem of software applications that offers solutions for almost all problems within a company. The name Salesforce is therefore used for the entirety of all offered applications such as sales, service or marketing cloud. For a monthly usage fee, Salesforce offers its platform and the products based on it as SaaS and always works with the latest technologies in the areas of cloud, social,
data science, IoT and artificial intelligence. In addition to offering off-the-shelf products, there is also the option of using the force.com to customize different processes and applications to your own needs using drag-and-drop. In addition, the online marketplace AppExchange provides numerous third-party applications and enables you to integrate your own programs into the interface.
The focus of Salesforce is not only on the provision of a cloud-based CRM system, but on a holistic cloud solution for all customer-relevant departments and requirements. The product range extends from the classic sales cloud as a sales solution to the marketing cloud to the experience cloud as a customer portal. The advantages of the SaaS solution are diverse: As a provider, Salesforce not only takes care of hosting, maintenance and repair, but also offers excellent data security with the software.
With the Customer 360 platform, Salesforce provides a broad portfolio of tools: from the classic CRM system for sales to artificial intelligence for data analysis, there are numerous solutions available to focus on the customer. Each product is available in different editions (Essentials, Enterprise, etc.) with different scope of services, which can be selected depending on the size of the company. In principle, Salesforce is aimed at every company, from small start-ups to large corporations, but cloud and partner solutions must always be based on the company's individual requirements.
