Granicus Revs Up with 20 Custom Applications in 20 Weeks on Force.com

Sep 01, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Salesforce.com, an enterprise cloud computing company, announced that Granicus, a cloud computing provider for government transparency, efficiency, and citizen participation, has built 20 custom apps in 20 weeks on Force.com to manage its rapid growth.

Having experienced three years of growth, Granicus noted it needed to streamline processes across the company including the sales, marketing, finance, human resources, project management, technical support and deployment departments. With Force.com, Granicus was able to manage its growth by building and deploying multiple applications. This helped employees focus on the company's mission of helping governments connect with citizens in new ways.

Granicus has built 20 custom applications on Force.com. Some of these include: -- Regionalized accounts: Account regionalization (grouping accounts beyond state, county, city and zip code limitations) allowed Granicus to assign accounts and run reports in specific regions - eliminating manual spreadsheets and reports, and reducing campaign management time from roughly five hours to one hour.

-- Human resources: Custom recruiting application to manage its open positions and candidates for every hire in the company.

-- Sales proposals: Built in one week, this application determines client product configurations, creates proposals, exports to them to PDFs - saving over 400 hours in development time.

-- Project management: Departments company-wide use this custom app to manage projects allowing groups to tailor project initiatives.

-- Asset management: This custom app is used to manage and track employee laptops and other inventory.

Salesforce.com is an enterprise cloud computing company providing companies solutions to collaborate and communicate with their customers.
