SHENZHEN, CHINA - Salesforce.com has launched a new capability giving enterprises the ability to rapidly automate any business process, says the cloud computing pioneer.

The company has made available Force.com Visual Process Manager that allows customers to visually design any complex business process with an intuitive, visual design tool, and instantly run it in the cloud.

Easier business process

Most enterprises today want to easily automate their important business processes and with Force.com Visual Process Manager, they can quickly reach this goal with greater flexibility and automate processes across all departments.

With this application, companies are free from purchasing expensive on-premise software, hardware and infrastructure to automate processes. They will also be able to innovate on these processes once they are deployed because the software is not complex and changes are not very costly.

Force.com Visual Process Manager is part of the Force.com platform and thus businesses can easily create dynamic and sophisticated business processes within their current Sales Cloud 2 and Service Cloud 2 deployments or custom Force.com applications.

Quick building of apps

George Hu, executive vice president, marketing and alliances, salesforce.com noted that Force.com’s multi-tenant approach eliminates the cost and complexity of legacy on-premise platforms like .NET, Websphere, and Lotus Notes to help enterprises build apps five times faster and at half the cost.

This application is currently being used by Saveology.com and according to Barry Newman, the company’s vice president of IT, the Force.com Visual Process Manager furthers Saveology.com’s goal of consolidating its technology architecture and moving more of its business processes into the cloud leveraging the Force.com platform.

“Building and managing business processes with on-premise software has been needlessly complex and costly, requiring too much custom code and expensive infrastructure,” said Jeffrey M. Kaplan, managing director of THINKstrategies and founder of the SaaS Showplace. “Force.com Visual Process Manager offers an easy-to-use process design tool that organisations can use on a pay-as-you-go basis to more quickly and cost-effectively build and manage business processes via the cloud.”
