Unlimited Edition Apex Code
Customize and Develop Anything on Demand
- Build and customize apps using salesforce.com’s own programming language
- Create powerful business logic that executes on our servers
- Publish any method as a standard Web service
With Apex Builder, salesforce.com made possible extensive point-and-click customization for creating custom fields, objects, user interfaces, and workflows in Salesforce. The new Apex Code, the world’s first on-demand programming language, takes on-demand customization much further, allowing developers to customize business logic to create an entirely new class of features and apps. Apex Code—together with salesforce.com’s renowned multitenant architecture and the Apex Web Services API—gives organizations all the tools they need to completely model their unique business processes with the speed, power, and flexibility of on demand.
This is available in PREVIEW—Developer Edition
Mobile Enhancements
The Power of On-Demand, Anywhere
- Access Salesforce from popular new mobile devices
- Enjoy improved performance and usability for several clients
- Streamline mobile deployments with packaged sample profiles
Spring ’07 brings a wealth of enhancements to the Apex Mobile service. New devices have been tested and certified as “Apex Mobile ready.” The mobile administration console and RIM BlackBerry clients have been improved to deliver greater reliability and performance. The Palm Treo and Windows Mobile clients have been enhanced to provide a better user experience; and the deployment process has been simplified with the packaging of sample profiles.
This feature is
available in Professional, Enterprise and Unlimited Editions.
These enhancements are enabled by default for Apex Mobile customers.
Note: A free, 30-day trial of Apex Mobile is available in the AppExchange.
Agent Console
Customer service and support agents are much more productive when all
the information and tools they need to solve a customer’s problem are
consolidated in a single spot. To achieve this, Winter ’06 enables
customers to create an optimized console view of information in
Salesforce Service & Support. The agent console combines a list
view, a detail view, and a mini view with related information into one
screen so that the service agent has everything at his or her
fingertips when interacting with customers. Common tasks are
accomplished in half the number of clicks and without requiring much
navigation. Administrators have the flexibility to choose the
information they want displayed in the agent console, to accommodate
the varied and evolving business requirements of today’s complex
service and support organizations.
This feature is available in Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited Editions.
