Built on J2EE and secured with advanced network identity capabilities, salesforce.com's secure Sales Portal provides location management and access to critical customer information over any device, anytime, anywhere.

"The sforce Portal Toolkit for Java System Portal Server effectively extends salesforce.com S3 into the portal environment so that enterprises can create the best possible software-as-service systems to support their unique processes, avoiding technical, financial or licensing headaches associated with software-only solutions."
"Many corporations and developers are interested in gaining the benefits of integrating multiple channels across all touch points," said John Fanelli, senior director of Java System network identity, communications and portal products, Sun Microsystems. "In conjunction with salesforce.com, we developed the sforce Portal Toolkit for Java System Portal Server to allow enterprise developers and IT professionals to quickly implement Sun-based portal solutions. These solutions allow customers to enjoy the benefit of reduced complexity, cost and development time without sacrificing integration and extension capabilities."
