AppExchange provides a single platform for the enterprise. Customers can manage and run all applications, on a completely customizable, open development platform, with central administration. AppExchange also provides a consistent security model, single data model and a consistent experience for users. Since its launch in January, 2006, customers have installed more than 7,100 apps from the AppExchange and have conducted more than 100,000 test drives since the AppExchange preview went live in September, 2005. AppExchange Mobile can be found at http://www.salesforce.com/appexchangemobile.
The AppExchange Mobile platform provides critical features for mobile development including over-the-air management, highly secure and reliable data transfer, and support for a wide variety of handheld devices such as RIM’s BlackBerry, and wireless operating systems and platforms including Intel’s Centrino, PalmOS, RIM OS and Windows Mobile (beta).
Salesforce.com has announced the next generation of mobile applications with AppExchange Mobile, through the acquisition of Sendia Corporation for $15 million in cash. The combination of the AppExchange on-demand platform with mobile technology from Sendia will mobile-enable more than 60 on-demand applications that are currently available on the AppExchange. Using AppExchange Mobile, all current and future AppExchange partners will be able to quickly and easily extend their on-demand applications to any mobile device with no extra development cost or complexity.
AppExchange Mobile breaks the wireless application logjam for customers, and massively reduces challenges associated with developing mobile applications, the need to develop for multiple platforms, and the cost and complexity of developing and deploying mobile applications. Today, ISVs and developers have to develop applications across multiple platforms and multiple operating systems for use with multiple carriers, causing extended development, testing and QA cycles. AppExchange Mobile provides developers with a new model – now developers can write an application once on the AppExchange on-demand platform and have it run on any mobile device, as well as any Web-enabled PC, without additional coding.
Pricing and Availability
AppExchange Mobile is now available and priced at $50 per user per month for Enterprise Edition and Professional Edition customers. AppExchange Mobile is included in Unlimited Edition for no extra charge.
