OREANDA-NEWS. November 02, 2015.  Community Cloud is proud to have earned major recognition from Gartner — one of the most respected voices in the industry — naming us a leader in its 2015 Magic Quadrant for Social Software in the Workplace.

Gartner analysts carefully evaluated providers in this market, and recognized them based on vision, integration, viability, focus, pace of innovation, and ecosystem. Those providers who have the best ability to execute and the most complete vision are recognized as leaders — the most prestigious recognition. Other categories include challengers, visionaries, and niche players.

Community Cloud has received a number of honors during the past couple of months, including another Magic Quadrant leader recognition from Gartner for Horizontal Portals and a leader ranking by Forrester for Social Depth Platforms.

What sets Community Cloud apart

First, our ability to offer social capabilities that are coupled with the activities supported by our business applications as well as new application scenarios such as mobile, e-commerce, wearables, and analytics.

Second, the way that we include social elements in the flow of work, for better information sharing, collaboration, and community building.

And last, but certainly not least, our ability to deeply embed collaboration into the way people work throughout our entire system. This integration is key to building a successful community.

Dedicated to innovation and customer success

One of our core values at Salesforce is innovation. And that, too, has been recognized by the industry — Forbes ranked us among the world’s most innovative companies for the fifth year in a row.
