Force.com platform (PAAS)

Force.com cloud computing platform, which was introduced in 2007, allows customers and partners to more extensively customize and integrate Salesforce CRM applications or build entirely new SaaS applications beyond CRM without having to invest in new software, hardware and related infrastructure. These newly developed applications, which are hosted and run on our infrastructure, can then be used for internal operations or sold to third parties.
Key Advantages of Force.com Flatform
  1. Secure, scalable and reliable delivery platform : The delivery platform for force.com service has been designed to provide the customers with high levels of reliability, performance, and security. The most advanced and comprehensive security infrastructure, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption for transmissions over the Internet are used for providing customer security.
  2. Rapid deployment : The service can be deployed rapidly since our customers do not have to spend time procuring, installing or maintaining the servers, storage, networking equipment, security products, or other infrastructure hardware and software necessary to ensure a scalable and reliable service.
  3. Lower Total cost of Ownership : There is a significant saving in costs upfront as compared to traditional software systems which have huge capital investment at the time of setting up the system. Ease of scalability and lower infrastructure requirements also help the organization to have lower Capex as most of Capex is actually converted into Opex.
  4. Ease of integration and development : The platform is designed to enable IT professionals to integrate the new service with existing applications quickly and seamlessly. The Force.com platform provides a set of application programming interfaces, or APIs, that enable customers and independent developers to both integrate new service with existing third-party, custom, and legacy applications and write their own application services that integrate with new services
