Salesforce.com Releases Beta App For Microsoft Outlook

Salesforce.com and Microsoft collaborates to unveil the beta version of its app.

Salesforce.com is an extremely popular company when it comes to cloud computing. Their services are extremely sought after across the globe. The company is constantly coming up with services that help them strengthen their position in the market and also make them one of the pioneers when it comes to innovation.

Previously the company signed an agreement with Microsoft after which they bolstered a strategic partnership. Now this collaboration has started to bear fruits for them. Both the companies came up with several projects and ventures that could help them in bringing business to their front and finally they have been successful by launching an App for Salesforce that is currently in it beta stage and will be available on Outlook.

The collaboration between Salesforce and Microsoft is a fairly smart step since both the companies have quite similar business strategies. Both have been doing good in the market but there are certain loopholes which they have been facing resulting in their downfall. Salesforce and Microsoft want to make strong comeback in the market and thus for the same reason need each other’s support.

It is said that both the companies have worked on several projects which are likely to change the game for them. this app is one of the fewer projects the companies have been working on and more such projects will make their way in the times to come.

The app will function in a manner that creates a seamless platform for Salesforce and Microsoft. Both the companies will be able to communicate with each other and on the broader canvas customers with ease and convenience.

Salesforce App will actually allow customers to easily access contacts give leads, manage accounts, and create opportunities through Microsoft Office 365 and Outlook. So as soon as an email is received the sales representative does not need to leave the Outlook platform since all the information can then be accessed directly.

"Horses for courses, I always say," states Denis Pombriant, the managing principal at Beagle 

Research Group. "Some reps just like to stay within Outlook, where they do their email, so bringing Salesforce data to them makes a lot of sense."

Hence, Microsoft and Salesforce collaboration will not only prove fruitful for both the companies but will also allow customers to benefit from the services. The App will prove beneficial in saving time and will also allow the user to readily trace information and services.

This is a massive breakthrough for Salesforce since users and customers both will enjoy this achievement on the whole.
