App Savvy Tips to Solve Business Challenges with the Salesforce AppExchange

in AppExchange, Featured, Platform

Last week, we invited Gireesh Sonnad, app aficionado and CEO of Silverline, to share his app savvy with our attendees at the Salesforce1 World Tour in New York City. Silverline relies on the AppExchange marketplace to provide pre-built solutions for their (and their clients') business challenges.

“We always check the AppExchange first to see what’s already been built to meet our business requirements… and we hit the jackpot more often than not! For example, we needed a project management app for our implementation business and found FinancialForce PSA on the AppExchange. We get the benefit of FinancialForce’s process expertise built directly into the app and don’t have to spin cycles trying to reinvent the wheel.” -- Silverline

This was only one of the dozens of apps that Silverline has installed over time, and Gireesh was kind enough to chat about how they’ve increased productivity with a few other apps from the AppExchange including:

Conga Composer: save time across the company with document generation at the click of a button
Adobe EchoSign: close deals faster with eSignature on any device
Form Assembly: easily create web forms and surveys for getting actionable customer feedback
Cornerstone to meet all internal and external learning management needs effectively on the Salesforce1 Platform
TargetRecruit: find the best candidates with streamlined hiring processes
DemandTools: keep business data clean and high quality
CalendarAnything: keep everyone aligned by allowing users to create custom calendars on any object in Salesforce

To boil down all this excellent app savvy advice into one simple statement: Visit the AppExchange early and often to find solutions you need to increase productivity.
