SALESFORCE EXTERNAL OBJECTS


Organizations that are on the Salesforce platform have options to conveniently and securely store their data and manage their applications. With Salesforce External Objects, businesses across different industries can further tap into and benefit from the comprehensive suite of Salesforce cloud-based solutions.

Salesforce external objects allow organizations to access data stored in other applications and platforms from within Salesforce. The external data is not stored on Salesforce, but can be accessed as if it was natively stored within Salesforce, and utilizing the same processes and functions.

What makes Salesforce external objects stand-out is the ability to work with a wide range of data sources – both cloud-based and on-premises. This means that your business can access external data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server, ODBC, Oracle, MySQL, and others directly from within Salesforce. Once the external data source is connected, in a matter of minutes you can create external objects to be displayed and refreshed with the external data immediately.

Another major benefit of Salesforce external objects lies in its ability to save time and money. By eliminating the need to manually and regularly import data, you can reduce or eliminate any tedious manual tasks that require human resources. And, with the ability to rapidly create external objects, organizations can quickly make updates and changes to their data and immediately have the changes displayed in their Salesforce platform.

Furthermore, with Salesforce external objects, organizations can optimize their resources and ensure that they are leveraging the data to maximize their results from within the Salesforce platform. External objects allow teams to create reports and dashboards based on both native and external data, meaning that the external data can be seamlessly integrated and enriched with internal data for a more comprehensive data set.

Having access to a comprehensive set of external data within Salesforce also means organizations can easily track and monitor their performance. With the ability to analyze external data, teams can find valuable insights to set up or modify their operations, assess the impact of their procedures, and evaluate the effectiveness of their strategies. In turn, the ability to draw out pertinent performance data can greatly improve the decision making process for the organization as a whole.

Overall, Salesforce External Objects offer businesses several advantages in terms of saving time and money and leveraging additional sources of data to unlock the potential within the Salesforce platform.
