SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Salesforce
[NYSE: CRM], the global leader in CRM, today announced that
Salesforce was named a leader by Forrester Research in its report
The Forrester Wave™: Low-Code Development Platforms for AD&D
Pros, Q4 2017. The report evaluated 13 vendors based on 26 criteria
grouped into three categories: current offering, strategy and
market presence.
Among the reviewed vendors, Salesforce received the highest
score in the strategy category and the highest possible score in
the market presence category. The report states that Salesforce's
"low-code platform is closer to a unified developer experience now
than it has been in many years. Why? Salesforce now includes its
Sales and/or Service Cloud applications in its low-code platform,
and it has finally integrated modern Lightning UX. Salesforce's
cloud services are very mature and used at scale, and the vendor's
AppExchange marketplace and Trailhead developer learning program
set the standard for those services among low-code platform
vendors."
"IT leaders count on developers to drive digital transformation
throughout the business. Those developers need two things:
powerful, easy-to-use application development tools and the
training to use them efficiently," said John Wookey, EVP of Platform, Salesforce. "With
the Salesforce Platform, we're empowering developers—including
admins and business users—with low-code tools to build apps for any
business need and Trailhead, Salesforce's gamified learning
platform that provides free, guided learning paths for developers
of all skill levels."
Building the Next Generation of AI-Powered Apps with Einstein
and Lightning
Salesforce Einstein is fully integrated in
the Salesforce Lightning Experience to deliver the best set of
tools for developers and bring the power of artificial intelligence
to every Salesforce user. Additionally, with Einstein Language and
Einstein Vision APIs, users can build AI-powered apps fast by
making the power of image recognition and natural language
processing accessible to anyone, regardless of skill level.
