Salesforce.com and Sun expand their alliance to deliver software-as-service
[UC Newsdesk 2003/6/16]

Sun and salesforce.com have expanded their global strategic alliance to bring Salesforce.com's sforce software-as-service application to enterprises via the Web using open standards.

In related news, salesforce.com also announced its membership in the Liberty Alliance, an industry group dedicated to developing open standards for federated network identity, which seeks to develop and deploy an open, interoperable standard for network identity.

With salesforce.com's launch of sforce, developers are able to create extensions to their salesforce.com CRM service. Companies can use these modules or extensions with the Sun ONE Portal Server to integrate CRM with other proposal or billing systems. Sforce developers can also use Sun ONE Portal Server for other Web services created by sforce.

"Sforce utilizes a Java platform to reduce the complexity and risk of application development so that companies can reduce demand on IT resources, easily create new business applications in a centralized and secure environment and speed integration time with existing applications," said Marc Benioff of Salesforce.com. "Through this important alliance, developers and enterprises can leverage the Sun ONE Identity and Portal Servers, using client/service computing to create new portal applications and integrate with existing applications, at greatly reduced cost and security risk."
