Q: What is the Salesforce Platform?

A: The Salesforce Platform brings together all the tools and services that have made us the world's #1 enterprise cloud platform. With a unified ecosystem for building, managing, buying, and optimizing apps — all built on Salesforce's trusted cloud infrastructure — CIOs, IT groups, admins, and developers are empowered with everything needed to drive results across the business by quickly building apps in any language, for any device, and managing them all in a single enterprise cloud environment. A key advantage of building apps on the Salesforce Platform is that for our existing customers, because they use our CRM, all of their business-critical and customer data is inside the Salesforce Platform already. For new customers, the Salesforce Platform provides an opportunity to unify all digital apps and process around a single source of customer intelligence and make the customer-driven digital transformation possible.

Q: What can you do with the Salesforce Platform?

A: First, for customers using Salesforce apps like Sales Cloud, the Salesforce Platform makes it possible to bring deeply customized functions to the app for any device and any employee. So the Salesforce Platform lets you extend the power of your CRM with capabilities like Lightning App Builder, Process Builder, and more. 

Second, the Salesforce Platform offers tools and solutions like Sandboxes and Salesforce DX to allow businesses to strengthen their orgs with additional security, connectivity, and easier tools for developers to test and build apps. 

Companies can also use the Salesforce Platform to digitize employee experiences within the organization for any department — not just sales and service — automate business processes, and integrate data from third parties into their apps built on the platform. Employee help desk, recruitment, collaboration (intranet), and asset management are some of the most common examples of employee apps. In addition, AppExchange provides an entire ecosystem of plug-and-play apps to quickly digitize employee experiences. 

Last, but not least, companies can transform their customers' experiences using products such as Heroku and IoT. Heroku, seamlessly integrated with the Salesforce Platform, lets customers build apps for their customers in any language and scale to millions of users instantly and securely. IoT provides a rules engine and orchestration to integrate and respond to the data coming from customers' connected devices in real time.

Q: I need to present the Salesforce Platform to my client. Are there any resources I can use?
A: Yes! See the Resources tab on this page.

Q: Is there an Salesforce Platform Group to join?

A: Yes! You can collaborate with other partners and Salesforce staff in the "Salesforce Platform" Group.
