Introduction to the Force.com Platform
The Force.com platform from salesforce.com is a service that lets companies create, customize, integrate, and share on-demand applications over the Internet—all without needing to purchase or install software. The service is composed of two main parts: the AppExchange directory, an online marketplace for sharing on-demand applications, and the Force.com platform on which those applications are developed. With Apex, companies can take advantage of a new, Internet-centric way of building applications that is dramatically simpler and more powerful than the approaches that have preceded it.
As a directory, the AppExchange is analogous to consumer Web sites such as eBay and iTunes, in the way that it provides an open, community-based approach to distributing, reviewing, and acquiring applications. As an on-demand platform, Apex is like traditional software-based tools, such as databases, operating systems, and application development environments, but is unique in the specific technologies it employs and the way it is delivered. Using the Force.com Platform, companies, developers, and ISVs have an innovative and powerful new way of bringing the benefits of on-demand to all aspects of a company’s business.
The technology that powers Salesforce, the Force.com platform provides the extensibility that customer relationship management (CRM) applications require to meet the most sophisticated CRM business needs easily. And, because it is a complete platform, developers can use it to create new applications that extend the capabilities of CRM as well as those that address entirely different types of requirements. Intended for business analysts, developers, and IT professionals, this paper provides an overview of the technologies and concepts behind the Apex platform and what is involved in using it across a variety of scenarios. Additional information, documentation, and case studies on the use of Apex are available on the developer.force.com Web site
