What we learned at Dreamforce: AppExchange

If you haven’t read my previous two posts on Data Integration and Artificial Intelligence, make sure to do so.

Today’s post is for those who haven’t started using Salesforce^® but are interested to learn about one of its major benefits: the Salesforce^® AppExchange.

AppExchange

Imagine if your smartphone lacked any of the apps you had. You would essentially have access to the core phone capabilities, such as email, calendar, texting and phone calls.

Nowadays, that’s hardly sufficient because the apps have enriched our lives in ways we seldom think twice about.

Similarly, the Salesforce^® AppExchange provides the same concept to business. While CRM still provides the basic foundation of company and contact information, apps help elevate the game.

There are apps for de-duplicating data, synchronization with Gmail and Outlook, mapping customers and prospects for sales calls, marketing/email campaigns, document generation. The list is endless.

Ascendix currently has one authored app on the AppExchange and 2 on their way.

AscendixRE is a commercial real estate platform that allows brokers to manage their properties, listings, deals, and listings. Available now through the AppExchange.

DataAmp is the aforementioned data service that can populate significant data about your accounts and contacts regardless of industry and lastly. Coming soon to the AppExchange, but you can get it now through us directly.

Ascendix Search is a template/ map scenario search that allows you to intelligently query your data in a truly segmented and targeted approach. Coming soon to the AppExchange. Contact us to learn more about Ascendix Search.

There are over 1,000 apps on the Salesforce AppExchange, ranging from free to pricey and most vendors are generous enough to provide a 30-day free trial to incorporate within your existing Salesforce subscription.
