The Salesforce platform provides an opportunity to embrace a different approach which some refer to as best of breed by utilizing the open platform to customize or integrate preferences. This session will explain and demonstrate how the Salesforce platform can be leveraged by installing packaged solutions from the Salesforce AppExchange or custom Applications to meet the needs of any foundation.
