Editor's Notes
- Let Apex do the heavy lifting, so you can focus on the fun stuff โ innovation, creating apps, etc.
- Force.com and platform as a sevice represent a fundamentally different model for how IT organizations can build and run enterprise apps. This model is more aligned with IT success because it shift the focus of IT responsibilities away from the high cost, high risk efforts of infrastructure management to the more strategic efforts of delivering innovation to the business. A recent independent survey of salesforce.com customers validates that platform as a service is simply a better value proposition for IT. For a wide variety of packaged and custom applications, the force.com platform allowed our customers to deploy in a fraction of the time of traditional platforms, achieve a far faster return investment and reduce the impact of these apps on scarce IT system administration resources.
- Whatโs the impact of force.com and platform as a service on IT success? One of our customers did a head to head evaluation of force.com vs. Microsoft .NET to find out. As a test they took a relatively straightforward app that tracked the licensing of brand assets including a worldwide workflow approval process and built this app on both platforms. What they found was that building apps on force.com platform a) was dramatically faster, b) allowed their developers to focus their time on higher value activities and c) delivered a more functional app that was judged to be much easier to use. The .NET application too 4,000 hours to develop while the force.com application took only 100 hours. The reason for this accelerated timeline was all of the hardware and software infrastructure that the force.com development team didnโt have to worry about. While the .Net team had to hand functionality like build an IT administration console, internationalization, authentication and audit history tracking, all of this came โfor freeโ to the force.com developers. They simply had to configure these pre-built application services. Additionally, the force.com developers were able to add phase 2 application functionality like mobile device deployment and analytics which the .NET team did not have time to address. Plus, the force.com application was able to leverage the built-in consumer web usability of our platform to deliver an app that end users scored more than twice as high from a usability perspective.
- One of the most interesting force.com success stories is a company called CODA. CODA is the 2nd largest software company in Europe and has been offering ERP applications for the past 20 years. They began an initiative last year to migrate their client/server software suite to a software as a service model. Instead of spending the vast sums of money and time required to build up a new SaaS platform and infrastructure that would meet the requirements of their highly security conscious customer base, they decided to build their SaaS strategy on Force.com; leveraging our platform and all of our investments instead of building this on their on. This resulted in a tremendous go-to-market advantage as they were able to build a complete general ledger financials application natively on force.com in only 7 months. This is a testament both to the creativity of the engineers at CODA but also to the flexibility of the force.com platform to power any type of sophisticated business application
- The Schumacher Group is a 2,500 employee emergency medicine solutions company that staffs North American emergency rooms with needed doctors. Their services can mean the difference of life and death for the millions of patients who have to visit the emergency room every year. To ensure the highest levels of availability and performance across their business, the Schumacher group, standardized on the Force.com application development platform to build mission critical custom applications. In addition to deploying the full range of salesforce.com CRM applications and integrating them with their PeopleSoft ERP system, Schumacher built over 7 different custom applications including payroll, contracting, Billing, and insurance credentialing. Many of these applications shifted complex back office processes away from client server applications and made them available via the cloud. By using force.com to remove the pain and risk of infrastructure, Doug Menefee, The CIO of the Schumacher group has been able to shift the focus of his IT organization from managing infrastructure to delivering innovation.
