Appirio CloudFactor for IT & Developers

Trying to integrate your SaaS silos?

Cloud applications and platforms are significantly easier to customize to your unique business needs than on-premise applications. However, these benefits haven’t yet translated to building solutions that bring together multiple cloud or SaaS applications. Connecting cloud applications silos to date has been complicated and costly—everything has to be done manually, traditional plumbing doesn’t work, and the high cost of integration services makes solutions cost prohibitive.

Solution: Appirio CloudFactor for IT & Developers

CloudFactor enables you to deliver custom solutions that bring together information from Salesforce and Google, with the level of ease and agility that you expect from the cloud.

• Appirio can develop custom applications for you, using our industry-leading cloud development services that have been battle-tested at salesforce.com and Google’s largest customers.
• You can develop custom applications yourself. CloudFactor makes it easy to build your own custom integrations between Salesforce and Google. CloudFactor runs on the OpenSocial industry standard, but handles all the integration plumbing so that any web developer can build custom email or calendar gadgets in days.

Unlike traditional integration services where everything has to be done from scratch, custom CloudFactor solutions start with a foundation of unified identity, security, data, context and business object definitions across Salesforce and Google. This means that we can deliver custom cross-cloud solutions at least two times faster and at a third the cost of alternative approaches.
