EXPAND YOUR FORCE.COM STRATEGY

Salesforce only serves apps in its own public infrastructure. Your apps deserve a broader playing field—and so does your business.

GROW YOUR BUSINESS

QUICKLY AND EASILY EXPAND YOUR SALESFORCE APPS TO SERVE NEW MARKETSWith minimal cost, disruption, and effort, Progress® Rollbase® lets you expand your Salesforce apps beyond the Salesforce infrastructure. Rollbase opens a whole universe of new opportunities.

SERVE MARKETS AND CUSTOMERS WHO MUST:

Δ Deploy in highly secure, private, or non-Salesforce cloud infrastructures.

Δ Meet regulatory mandates in highly regulated industries.

Δ Gain greater control of infrastructure.

YOU’VE SUCCEEDED WITH FORCE.COM, BUT…Due to its single focus as a hosted, public cloud environment, your apps on Force.com, including Salesforce CRM, cannot accommodate:

Δ Data residency, privacy, security, or regulatory requirements.

Δ The need to deploy on-premises.

Your apps on Salesforce cannot serve:

Δ Many in the financial, healthcare, retail, government or other highly regulated sectors with stringent security and data housing requirements.

Δ Those who need more control over infrastructure and unfettered access to the database.

WITH ROLLBASE, IT’S ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS—NOT THEIRSEVERYTHING IS A CUSTOM OBJECTYou can customize or replace anything, whereas in Salesforce.com and Force.com, many entities are not fully customizable objects.

IT’S NOT ABOUT CRMWith no roots in any particular domain, we have much less incentive to tilt the platform’s capabilities toward CRM or other specific usage.

IT’S ALWAYS YOUR STACKRollbase Private Cloud runs on Linux, Unix, Solaris, Windows, among other, and runs the most reliable relational database: Progress OpenEdge, in addition to MySQL, SQL Server and Oracle.

It runs on Tomcat and WebSphere and can be fronted by Apache or other Web servers. You can extend the schema, write custom code, and hook up analytics and other tools directly to the database because it’s your stack, not ours.

SERVE APPS WITHOUT LIMITS

ROLLBASE HAS NO SUCH LIMITS.With Rollbase in a private cloud, there are no such prohibitive mechanisms. You don’t have to do extra work—or pay more—to get around artificial roadblocks.

You or your customers have complete control over your servers and your networking infrastructure—something Salesforce cannot offer.

Salesforce has a prohibitive governor mechanism that limits your access to the system.

SALESFORCE LIMITS: Δ Number of applications

Δ Amount of data

Δ Number of records

Δ Number of objects in an application

Δ Number of API calls
