- Explain the focus of the Salesforce partnership with AWS.
- List the use cases for Unified Developer Experience.
Use Industry-Leading Cloud Platforms Together
Did you know that according to some estimates, the size of the public cloud market will grow roughly 13 percent year over year? That’s right; companies are migrating to the cloud faster than ever before so they can rapidly innovate and keep up with customer demands. Salesforce is no exception.
In the past few years, we’ve realized we can deliver on customer needs even faster by moving to the public cloud. In order to ensure that the world’s number one CRM works for customers like you, we rely on a robust, highly functional cloud service. That’s why we’ve partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the top cloud platform in the market today. AWS has the reliability and capacity to support the needs of our digital platform.
We’re better when we use the innovations of our partners, and we want you to benefit from our joint solutions. With our partnership, we spend less time thinking about our infrastructure and more time bringing you closer to your customers.
AWS provides scalable, reliable cloud computing services at an enterprise level. Our partnership with AWS comes from a desire to deliver strategic cloud integrations based on a foundation of security and simplicity. With solutions that take full advantage of AI, voice, data, and productivity, our partnership is your fastest path from idea to impact.
Move Faster, Unleash Intelligence, and Communicate Securely
Salesforce is rolling out several enhancements as a result of this partnership. Some existing products, like MuleSoft, Tableau, and Heroku, you may already know and use. Others, such as Einstein Voice Builder and Service Cloud Voice are newer products that we’re excited to bring into play.
There’s more! In collaboration with AWS, we offer the Unified Developer Experience (UDE). UDE enables developers to build custom apps faster, with access to real-time data and built-in security. Deploy Salesforce, enhanced by AWS artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions integrated from the start.
