SALESFORCE SNAPSHOTS
Salesforce is quickly becoming the essential enterprise platform for business operations and customer service. A wide range of users — from customer service reps and IT personnel to salespeople and marketing operations — all depend on Salesforce to help them streamline processes and make data-driven decisions. Such a critical platform requires tremendous attention to data. In order to ensure that operations are running smoothly and data is secure, enterprise clients ought to consider leveraging Salesforce snapshots. Salesforce snapshots are tools that enable companies to take point-in-time backups of their Salesforce data and configurations. Allowing enterprises to store Salesforce application and data “snapshots” to be used for troubleshooting, auditing, security, disaster recovery, and comparison/rollback scenarios, Salesforce snapshots offer an extra layer of security for businesses handling data-sensitive information. Snapshots can and should be used for more than just protection. They can be used to: • Increase collaboration: Snapshots can be shared and discussed between sales, marketing, analytics, product, and customer service teams, bringing everyone's insights into the same conversation. • Monitor performance: By taking regular snapshots of Salesforce system performance, enterprises can look back in time and see how changes in system performance can affect the way data is being used and stored. • Locate inefficiencies: By comparing different snapshots side-by-side, businesses can detect potential inefficiencies in their data-handling processes. • Audit changes: Because snapshots are taken at regular intervals, enterprises can audit and review changes in real-time. In addition, using Salesforce snapshots can help improve enterprise releases. When a release is ready, it can be tested and reviewed in a sandbox environment. Once the release is ready to go, a snapshot helps ensure the deployment is pushed correctly into production and that all data is retained. After the release is deployed, the snapshot can also be used to review performance post-deployment. Using a Salesforce release management, Salesforce data backup and recovery and Salesforce security solution such as AppWave enables enterprises to take regular snapshots and enables visibility into the impact made on key components. This visibility helps ensure Salesforce data is secure and teams have the insights they need to truly drive productivity. To take full advantage of Salesforce, enterprises should strongly consider leveraging Salesforce snapshots. These snapshots offer a comprehensive solution for managing and protecting Salesforce data that teams can use for a variety of purposes – from auditing and monitoring performance to ensuring safe deployments. With the right Salesforce release management, Salesforce data backup and recovery and Salesforce security solution, companies can unlock the potential of Salesforce with snapshots and drive improved data security, insight, and efficiency.
