Should You Build on Force.com?

General News

Summary

Companies can host their apps on Force.com, as an alternative to Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, SugarCRM, or other cloud platforms. Another portfolio company, Veeva Systems, has built the leading healthcare industry cloud CRM platform on Force.com, and recently had a successful IPO on the New York Stock Exchange. And because most IT departments are familiar with the Salesforce platform from their own evaluation for internal usage, IT due diligence is not a major hindrance during the sales cycle. Their sales reps can hit their quota by just selling CRM and/or other Salesforce products, including marketing, HR, customer support, etc. Veeva Systems, ServiceMax, Box, InsideView, and Intacct — all of which are built on or integrated with Force.com — are Emergence portfolio companies.
