Salesforce1 Lightning Ignites a
New Era of Innovation in Platform as a Service
Building on
the tremendous success of last year’s launch of the Salesforce1 Platform,
Salesforce1 Lightning defines a new era of Platform as a Service (PaaS). With
Lightning, Salesforce is delivering a new user interface for every Salesforce
app, optimized for any device. And developers and business users can now
quickly build apps with a custom user interface for every screen shape and
size. Today Salesforce is launching the new Lightning Connect, a new breed of
real-time integration that will change the way companies access and connect
with data stored in legacy systems. Unlike other integration tools, Lightning
Connect can be configured in minutes with point-and-click tools and does not
copy and store outdated data in Salesforce.
