WHAT IS COMMUNITIES?
Salesforce is a system of record
Communities is a system of engagement
...or, your Company’s own social network
but with a lot less unnecessary noise
• Who can benefit from Communities?
• Partners: Franchises,
• Employees: HR and training for a remote team
• Customers: Support or call center alternative
Anyone who wants to bring together disparate groups to enhance
an internal process

• People (social):
• An opportunity to sell deeper
Process (Ideas):
Use real user feedback to drive new
features
Things (file sharing):
