Top 7 Factors That Differentiate XfilesPro From Other File Management Solutions for Salesforce
Last Updated: September 22, 2023 If you are a Salesforce customer, you might know that dealing with a large number of files within the app is always troublesome considering the platform limitations. Being the #1 CRM provider in the world, Salesforce powers organizations to boost their sales, marketing & customer service processes. However, it can’t be considered as an advanced document management system because the platform doesn’t include this in its core capabilities. The presence of multiple IT systems and, the trend of adopting different cloud platforms for running a business while using Salesforce as the centralized CRM means, files will be generated from different sources & ultimately get stored within the Salesforce app. Now with the limited file storage space that Salesforce offers, it becomes extremely challenging to maintain all the documents in one place with easy access, collaboration, and sharing.
