The Benefits of Using Progress Rollbase

With Rollbase, it’s About Your Business — Not Theirs
EVERYTHING IS A CUSTOM OBJECT
You can customize or replace anything, whereas in Salesforce.com
and Force.com, many entities are not fully customizable objects.
IT'S NOT ABOUT CRM
With no roots in any particular domain, we have much less incentive
to tilt the platform's capabilities toward CRM or other specific usage.
IT'S ALWAYS YOUR STACK
Rollbase Private Cloud runs on Linux, Unix, Solaris, Windows, among
others, and runs the most reliable relational database: Progress
OpenEdge, in addition to MySQL, SQL Server and Oracle.
It runs on Tomcat and WebSphere and can be fronted by Apache or other
Web servers. You can extend the schema, write custom code, and hook
up analytics and other tools directly to the database because it's your
stack, not ours.

TRANSITIONING TO A NEW PLATFORM.

extend or transition your Force.com
apps in order to:
Better protect sensitive data.
Accommodate highly regulated sectors like healthcare,
finance, retail and government.
Deploy on-premises, and fulfill data residency or other
compliance requirements.
Gain greater control of infrastructure.
Lower costs.

and deploy customizable HTML5, hybrid, or native apps.

Serve Apps without Limits
Salesforce has a prohibitive governor mechanism that limits your access to the system.
ROLLBASE HAS NO SUCH LIMITS.
With Rollbase in a private cloud, there
are no such prohibitive mechanisms.
No extra work—or money—to get
around artificial roadblocks.
SALESFORCE LIMITS:
• Number of applications
• Amount of data
• Number of records
• Number of objects in an application
• Number of API calls

Take Greater Control of Your Infrastructure
ROLLBASE GIVES YOU THE OPTION FOR
COMPLETE CONTROL
over your servers, database, and your networking
infrastructure—something Salesforce cannot offer.
YOU’LL CHOOSE
when to upgrade and when to do maintenance. You won’t
be a victim of Force.com’s schedule, or anyone else’s.
YOUR ONLY POSSIBLE LIMITATION IS YOUR TALENT,
and we know that’s not an issue.

10. With Rollbase, there is nothing
holding you back.
