Why everyone should integrate SharePoint with Salesforce

Why everyone should integrate SharePoint with Salesforce
Posted :

SharePoint is one of the most popular document management platforms today. It is used by virtually all major enterprises since it ties in neatly with other Microsoft products such as MS Office. It is not only used to build intranet portals but also works well as an independent document repository. But the platform is not known for its CRM capabilities.

This is where Salesforce comes into the picture. It has grown into a major SaaS platform that enterprises use and has become the mainstay of support departments as well as marketing and sales departments worldwide. Therefore, many enterprises agree to leverage Salesforce integration services to utilize the platform with various business systems and available extensions. But when it comes to document management and storage capabilities, it does not rank as highly as SharePoint.

Salesforce offers limited space compared to SharePoint and for access to additional storage on Salesforce, companies end up paying a lot more than they would have paid for some other document management system. This means that companies that produce a lot of documents need to rely on some external document management software in order to reduce storage costs.

Salesforce SharePoint integration leads to better collaboration

The sales department and other departments are often not on the same page. The former depends on Salesforce for most of its work while other departments use SharePoint-based intranet portals to collaborate, store marketing collateral and other documents.

This means that there are times when the sales team is out of the loop when it comes to having access to the latest marketing materials.
