Community Cloud-2

Introduction

Community Cloud is an online social platform that enables companies to connect customers, partners, and employees with each other and the data and records they need to get work done. This next-generation portal combines the real-time collaboration of Chatter with the ability to share any file, data, or record anywhere and on any mobile device.

Community Cloud allows you to streamline key business processes and extend them across offices and departments, and outward to customers and partners. So everyone in your business ecosystem can service customers more effectively, close deals faster, and get work done in real-time.

What can we do with Community Cloud?

We can build communities to gain deeper relationships with customers or provide better service by enabling customers to find information and assist each other online. Or you can connect your external channel partners, agents, or brokers to reduce friction and accelerate deals. And you can empower employees to connect and collaborate wherever business takes them.

Because Community Cloud is built on the Salesforce platform, you can connect any third-party system or data directly into the community. Your organization gains the flexibility to easily create multiple communities for whatever use case your business demands.

Common ways for Employees:

HR and IT Help Desk can engage employees and deliver critical knowledge and instructions. And from onboarding to payroll to IT troubleshooting, employees can help themselves to the information they need, 24/7.

Employees find, share, and collaborate on content in real-time, and connect with others in the social intranet beyond the boundaries of their department, office, or even country.

Common ways for customers:

Self-service empowers customers to find answers to their questions with a searchable knowledge base, and work together to answer one another’s questions and solve problems, dramatically reducing service cases while increasing customer satisfaction.

Community engagement leverages passionate consumers as “experts” within the community to be rewarded for helping other customers. These evangelists help lend a human face to your brand and promote deeper customer loyalty.

Empowered e-commerce enables customers to track their accounts, and connect to other customers to share experiences with the product, add reviews, and even suggest product improvements.

Common ways for Partners:

A partner knowledge portal allows you to give your entire channel immediate access to the resources and experts they need, such as critical sales assets and product information, and even provide training and certification courses to keep your sales organization running smoothly.

A channel sales community connects your internal and external sales teams in real time, so partners can collaborate directly on sales records, easily track revenue, monitor pipe generation to reduce deal friction and make deals happen.

Security:

Community Cloud is built on the trusted Salesforce platform. The robust and flexible security architecture of the platform is relied on by companies around the world, including those in the most heavily regulated industries from financial services to healthcare to government. It provides the highest level of security and control over everything from user and client authentication through administrative permissions to the data access and sharing model.

Trust starts with transparency. Salesforce displays real-time information on system performance and security, and offers tips on best security practices for your organization.

Company size:

Companies of any size can create seamless, branded community experiences quickly and easily with Community Cloud. For example, Lightning Community Builder and Templates provide a great out-of-the-box solution to get you started, with simple customization options as your business grows.

Lightning Community Builder makes it easy to customize your mobile-optimized community to perfectly match your brand. This includes incorporating third-party and custom components for ultimate customization.

Community Templates are secure, reliable, scalable, and optimized for mobile. These state-of-the-art templates are designed to be used right out of the box no coding or IT required.

How is Chatter different from Community Cloud:

Chatter is the social layer that goes across all Salesforce’s products. A company can also use Chatter to create an internal social network across their organization. Chatter provides a forum that allows anyone to share insights, propose ideas, connect teams, and provide direct feedback instantly.

Community Cloud allows companies to create branded sites that connect customers, partners, and employees with experts and information and each other. As with other Salesforce products, Chatter is the social layer in each community, which can be enabled to enhance personal interaction and direct collaboration among members.

Mobile Options:

There are many options for using Community Cloud on a mobile device. Because Community Templates are fully responsive, it’s easy to provide a rich experience that can be viewed on any mobile device.

For employee communities, your workforce has full access to Salesforce. And customers also can create a customized mobile app for their community using the Salesforce Mobile SDK, which is now available to all Force.com and Database.com developers.
