Editor's Notes
- #5: Introducing the Salesforce platform--the foundation that fuels a social business. The salesforce platform is the industry's most comprehensive and proven cloud app platform. It empowers companies to innovate with confidence and transform their business. The Salesforce Platform provides an option of various trusted cloud services to build new social, mobile, and real-time apps for virtually any business. We have rebuilt our whole architecture to enable your business to be social and it is powered by the Salesforce Platform. We built Database.com, which was the first socially enabled database as a cloud service, right on the internet itself. Data.com makes sure that the data in your databases is as clean and as clear and as consistent as possible and that you're following the global data policies and having the compliance in the world. So, you have the data you need to be successful. Heroku allows you to build customer social apps on various social channels like Facebook or Twitte amongst others. We built Force.com to build employee social applications for a social business. All of this is wrapped with Chatter, an enterprise collaboration tool that with an intuitive design for boosting productivity in the workplace. On top of that is our sales cloud, our service cloud, or marketing cloud, and our work applications.
- #6: With the different facets that I've mentioned, you have a range of possibilities for the apps you may want to build. The platform is able to support many use cases from small to large business, but there are 4 main types of apps that we see coming up again and again on the platform. First is automating critical business processes. A critical process is one that directly adds value back to a company. Good examples are employee recruiting and onboarding, franchise management, or even digital marketing. Often these critical processes are being managed with inefficient paper based solutions, excel, or even an outdated technology like Lotus Notes or Access databases. Often these processes can be stand alone but sometimes they are integrated. The second major use case is what we call “Social Front Ends”. Social Front Ends are applications that extend the value of legacy data or systems such as ERP, Data Warehouses, or even Mainframes. Social Front Ends are one of the most popular use cases for the platform. They help companies maximize their investments from their legacy systems by allowing them to build a layer of agility around them using a cloud platform. As at the apps become more focused on the customers, Social Websites are a major use case for our platform. Customers can rapidly build external customer, partner, mobile and micro sites with the Salesforce Platform that are preintegrated with their salesforce data and require no additional hardware or software servers. Finally, is one of the most exciting and innovative use cases for the platform. Customer Social Engagement. Today companies are looking for fresh new ways to engage and interact with their customers. They are trying to reach them where they spend most of their time in social networks like Facebook. Social Engagement Apps allow companies to build applications that engage customers in realtime across new social channels. Today we're going to go over an application built on Force.com to solve a critical business process.

- #9: Using purely point and click tools, we'll be able to tailor an application to solve a specific business need. If you wanted to customize an app programmatically, you have native development tools as well for that kind of custom development, but for today I will simply be giving you a taste of how much you can do without having to write any code at all. (call out the various tools) I'll be going over some of these tools today, but will provide resources for you to look into all of the tools available to you as well as information on how you can get started.
