Salesforce tools, connections, and features make the work from home work experience highly effective. See why!
How Does Salesforce Enhance Cloud Computing
Salesforce’s entire system is built on the Cloud, making it easy for employees and customers to work together from any location and time. Of course, this also includes when companies need to take their work home and access essential data. Data storage applications on the Cloud are not stored on servers in the office, so you and your team can use your tools to conduct business without any loss or delay.
Salesforce maximizes the cloud-based experience through the platform features that are shared in every native application. But that’s not all! The Salesforce Platform© offers several unique tools to optimize how you equip and empower your applications’ efficiency. Let’s look at these Salesforce work from home features and how they benefit remote work experience.
Native Platform Features
Whether you’re using Eposly for point of sale operations or Accounting Seed to manage the finances, native apps are seamlessly linked for smooth data transfer. This lets you communicate between applications, complete processes between apps, and more. A critical part of the native architecture is the signature Salesforce tools each app contains.
The Salesforce Platform has many built-in features that let you optimize workflow and coordination for employees, partners, and customers through built-in functions. These platform features include tools like chatter for communication and tasks for workflow. Every native application has a full complement of these platform features whether you’re using the Salesforce CRM or not. Here are a few examples.
- Chatter
