Salesforce today announced that it will be launching a new product, AppSpace that will bring together companies and customers in a secure branded On-Demand environment. From the initial details emerging about the product, companies will be able to share data from specific applications with select customers. This approach, which was long expected from Salesforce, companies to reuse their internal customized Salesforce system and data to generate customer facing portals. Best part of this launch is that companies will be able to expose default as well as custom tabs including AppExchange apps with their customers. Customers will be able to share spreadsheets, projects created in DreamTeam, Discussion boards, knowledgebase articles with customers. Definitely lot of functionality delivered for the Salesforce customers in a single shot who otherwise had to go through hoops to make their data presentable to end-clients in a secure manner.
Salesforce AppSpace will be available in April as a limited release with pricing starting at $995 per organization, per month.
