Key Takeaway:
Engagement apps deliver a customized user experience. When you build them on Salesforce, they are faster to code and fully connected to your existing Salesforce data.
Talk Track:
In fact, apps are now the way customers view your brand. Whether it’s getting product info, e-commerce, support, or other engagement app, your customers are using apps to interact with your products and your company. That means every company is an apps company now. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a traditional industry; or what vertical you’re in. Every company, big and small, needs to be great at creating engaging, beautiful applications to connect with customers in new ways.
