The Salesforce AppExchange: What does it have to offer your business?
The Salesforce AppExchange is a marketplace for business apps built just for the Salesforce community. These apps can extend the functionality of your Salesforce org to fit even more of your business needs.
If you have never visited the AppExchange, go to http://appexchange.salesforce.com/ and have a look around. Try entering search terms relating to your business processes and you might be amazed to find an app that is made just for you.
When you are looking at an App, click through all the info tabs to find pricing, functionality details, and customer reviews. Some apps are free or have special pricing for nonprofits. Many apps have free trials if you want to take a test drive. If you want to try an app, it is advisable to install it in your sandbox first, as sometimes new apps don’t play nicely with your existing customizations. Just click the “Get It Now” button on the app and you will be given the option to choose whether you are installing in your sandbox or main production org.
