SALESFORCE FAQS


As a software provider focused on Salesforce release management, Salesforce data backup and recovery, and Salesforce security solutions, we frequently encounter similar questions from our enterprise clients. Salesforce technology is an incredibly powerful and versatile platform, and it’s critical to have a firm understanding of its capabilities and limitations. Understanding the answers to certain key questions can serve to help you better understand and optimize your current Salesforce-based approaches. What Security Solutions Does Salesforce Offer? Salesforce offers a comprehensive suite of enterprise security solutions to help protect the data and transactions of their clients. Salesforce Security includes several layers of protection including physical security, system security, and customer data privacy. Physical security includes the secure facilities that house Salesforce servers and applications. System security includes robust authentication protocols and enforceable roles to ensure only authorized users are accessing the system. Customer data privacy includes encryption of customer data in transit, data masking, and a privacy opt-out mechanism. How Does a Salesforce Data Backup and Recovery Process Work? Salesforce backup and recovery processes are designed to ensure that all customer data is securely stored and easily retrievable in the event of an emergency or system failure. All data stored in Salesforce is automatically backed up and securely stored on multiple redundant storage servers and systems. In the event of data loss, Salesforce customers can access and restore their data from secure backup sources. What Types of Release Management and Deployment Solutions Does Salesforce Offer? Salesforce offers multiple types of deployment solutions designed to help organizations quickly and efficiently deploy applications with confidence. These solutions include version control, automated deployment, and change management. Version control allows customers to track, manage, and control releases to ensure only approved versions of applications are deployed. Automated deployment provides automated intelligence to streamline a customer’s application deployment process, while change management offers customers a framework to manage and deploy changes in a timely and secure manner. What Types of Solutions Does Salesforce Offer for Integrating with Existing Systems? Salesforce provides a variety of solutions for customers to integrate their Salesforce applications with their existing systems. These solutions will allow customers to easily access data from other systems, as well as to synchronize data with the Salesforce environment. Solutions available from Salesforce include APIs, web services, and packaged application integrators. API and web service integrations will allow for two-way communication between systems allowing for data to be exchanged between applications. Packaged application integrators will allow for businesses to quickly link Salesforce data with existing systems. These are some of the most common questions our Salesforce clients ask us when looking for solutions to manage and optimize their Salesforce environment. With a clear understanding of Salesforce security, backup and recovery, release management and deployment, and application integration, organizations are well positioned to take advantage of the platform and leverage it to achieve their desired results.
