Salesforce.com AppQuest Competition Winner BranchIt for Chatter Expands Support

March 2, 2012 - PRLog -- SAN FRANCISCO--BranchIt Corporation, the leading provider of cloud-based Corporate Social Networking solutions is proud to announce it supports Salesforce Group, Professional, Enterprise and Unlimited Editions. The expansion will now allow mid-sized and even small companies to enjoy the benefits of employee relationships automatically feeding into Salesforce CRM and Chatter.

“Customers look to BranchIt to extend the value of Salesforce CRM and Chatter,” said Kendall Collins, SVP and GM of Chatter, salesforce.com

BranchIt for Chatter^sm uncovers relationships held by employees across the entire company and feeds them into Salesforce CRM and into Chatter. Specific functionality includes automated contact syncing, relationship discovery, relationship strength scoring, contact following, account following and related management reports. The application makes use of the Sales Cloud, Chatter, Data.com, Apex code, Visualforce, various e-mail platform integrations and is accessible via standard web browsers and mobile devices.

“Everyone is talking Social Media and Social CRM but we’re missing the bigger point of ‘social’.  It’s not about pushing feeds or data.  It’s who you know.  BranchIt has those capabilities,” says Jimson Lee, Editor in Chief of CRMHelpdeskSoftware.com.
After winning salesforce.com’s AppQuest competition a year ago, BranchIt for Chatter quickly signed on enterprise customers including Bell Aliant, Enterasys Networks, Freeman, Penske, William Blair and Xactly Corporation.  There was also an unexpected demand in the SMB market for compatibility with Salesforce Group and Professional Editions.

Along with the expanded support, BranchIt for Chatter is now an Aloha app.  Group and Professional Edition customers typically have system limits against apps, tabs, and objects, but Salesforce.com aloha apps do not count against those limits.
Built using Force.com, the enterprise cloud computing platform, BranchIt for Chatter, is available for deployment on the AppExchange at www.salesforce.com/appexchange or call toll free at 866-WARM-LEADS.
