While this is labeled an enterprise system, that capability sounds intriguing and very useful. While files continue to be stored in native repositories, "the SalesForce Platform ensures all related access controls are adhered to." For example, only employees authorized to access, view and share a given file within SharePoint will be able to access, view and share that file within Salesforce. The company says pricing will be announced when the product is generally available.
SALESFORCE FILES UNVEILED Featured
Salesforce.com has launched a beta of SalesForce Files, an enterprise file system, which connects any file with business processes from any device. Formerly known as SalesForce Chatterbox, the system enables customers to "unlock files from virtually any third-party repository such as Box, Google Drive or SharePoint and make them mobile and social, all on a single, trusted platform."
