We’re in the age of the always on, always connected world. With new technologies emerging seemingly everyday, it can be difficult for businesses to keep up -- especially in mobile apps and communities -- where they interact with their customers and partners most. By combining the Salesforce Lightning Platform with our innovative partner ecosystem, we’re empowering our customers with the latest technology has to offer.

Today, we’re excited to introduce several new partner-built Lightning Components for Community Cloud. Each of these components have been tailored to Community Cloud, enabling our customers to add capabilities like video, surveys, blogs, search and planning to their communities in minutes -- by simply dragging and dropping a Lightning Component onto their community page. No coding required. These partner-built Lightning Components are live today and available on the Salesforce AppExchange.

Each partner Lightning Component that we are introducing today is optimized for the Salesforce Lightning Platform and user experience, easily brandable and accessible on any device. And this is just the beginning. We will be introducing many more new partner-built Lightning Components in the months to come. It’s all part of our vision to make the greatest array of today’s technology available to our customers with minimal cost and complexity -- all made possible by the Salesforce Lightning Platform.
