Salesforce.com Teams with Adobe Flash for Force.com
Monday, Salesforce.com announced a new deal that will both improve Force.com’s CRM services and help the cloud application to branch out from its CRM mold: they signed a deal with Adobe to link Adobe Flash to Force.com. Analyst James Governor calls the alliance a means of pushing Force.com into its “2.0” phase by providing “rich internet application development experience.”
The Adobe Flash Builder will be the new provision for unified development, and will facilitate deployment of Flash applications on Force.com. Because this is an innovation to the Force.com platform, the overarching intention is that the builder be used to extend Salesforce.com CRM applications, but it can also be helpful for creating web sites, and desktop apps that can run outside the browser.
During its three-year tenure, Force.com has garnered some 63,000 customers, who’ve built 120,000 applications. With its Salesforce branding, Force.com attracts plenty of users looking mainly for CRM solutions, but also a fair number looking for non-enterprise solutions. A research analyst at Gartner noted that more and more companies look to Force.com to develop non-CRM applications. This partnership with Adobe Flash certainly gives an added accessibility to building CRM applications, and will thus be an undoubted success.
