Customer relationship management, or “CRM,” software provider, Salesforce.com’s premier CRM cloud computing platform, Force.com, has been receiving quite the warm welcome lately from various companies, industry reviews and top market segments looking to deploy an award winning solution.

In addition to just a widely deployed system, the CRM cloud computing platform is constantly evolving. And the recent news that hit the wires proves just that.

The company recently announced the availability of Force.com’s Visual Process Manager, a new capability that allows users to automate any business process in a rapid time table. 

According to Salesforce.com’s (News - Alert) Executive Vice President of Marketing and Alliances, George Hu, the new Force.com Visual Process Manager is another example of why Force.com has become the cloud computing platform of choice in the enterprise.

“By eliminating the cost and complexity of legacy on-premise platforms like .NET (News - Alert), Websphere, and Lotus Notes, Force.com's multitenant approach helps enterprises build apps five times faster and at half the cost,” Hu said.

Now, customers using this system can – for the first time – visually design any complex business process with an intuitive design tool that will permit new processes to instantly run in the cloud.

And, since the release, it seems the process is being accepted with open arms by leading industry execs and organizations.

“With Force.com Visual Process Manager, organizations can now build business process applications with greater flexibility and automate processes across all departments,” Salesforce.com officials said.
