First off, if you don’t know about Force.com Sites, it allows you to run your intranet, your corporate Web site or even syndicate content to other Web sites natively from Force.com. You learn all about it here on this Salesforce.com page.
To help you visualize the potential, here are five great Force.com Sites ideas!
1. RECRUITING – An HR person can now easily and immediately post job listings on your web site (without IT intervention), right from within Salesforce! Furthermore, applicants can apply and their applications will be posted to the job listing in Salesforce, immediately.
2. EVENT MARKETING – An Event Planner can now list events on your web site with a click of a few buttons inside Salesforce, and all registrations will be viewable and tracked inside Salesforce!
3. PRODUCT CATALOG – Marketing can now add product bundles, change product sales discounts, all inside Salesforce, and immediately push it to your public web site.
4. VENDOR MANAGEMENT – You have all of your vendors in Salesforce where you manage interaction with them. Now you may publish your vendor list, with addresses, phones, and maps all online!
5. CUSTOMER SURVEYS – Survey your customers right on your web site, and tie their answers to their master customer record in Salesforce!
FINALLY, while Salesforce Sites is not in Production yet, here is proof that we have it testing on our Developer Edition right now.
