We are a Salesforce partner, which means that we participate in their partnership program and configure and integrate Salesforce cloud-based solutions. We entered the partner program for two reasons—we believe the tech to be superior to any other CRM on the market and we have faith in the company as a good corporate citizen. Indeed what was once the foundation arm of Salesforce, Salesforce.org (and now owned by Salesforce), donates 10 free licenses per year to 501(c)3 organizations and provides heavy discounts on other tools within the Salesforce ecosystem like Community Cloud, Service Cloud, Pardot, and Marketing Cloud. Additionally, the company and its CEO, Mark Benioff, are philanthropists making a difference at all levels of society – from right in their “backyard” of San Francisco to across the world.
Since the onset of COVID-19, Salesforce has been developing packaged solutions for healthcare organizations as well as reducing or eliminating license costs for many of its products to support and enhance the remote work / telework experience.

Salesforce Care for Healthcare is a solution for healthcare systems experiencing an influx of requests due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The solution can be deployed quickly and at no charge for six months to immediately aid healthcare systems responding to the crisis. After the six months, customers have the option to continue at their contracted price or discontinue the service. The solution includes:
- Salesforce Health Cloud powered contact center solution helps organizations manage increased volume via phone and chat.
- Salesforce Shield delivers encryption, audit trails and monitoring to help organizations ensure the privacy and security of their data to meet both internal and external compliance requirements like HIPAA.
- Salesforce Community Cloud enables organizations to proactively distribute trusted information from a personalized, self-service resource center to help inform patients, members and communities and help offset the higher call volume to contact centers during this pandemic.
- Salesforce myTrailhead helps organizations quickly distribute the latest safety and testing protocols to enable staff and ensure certification through an on-demand, learning experience platform.
In addition to this, Tableau has developed a free data resource hub to help organizations see and understand coronavirus public health data in near real-time. This includes case data compiled by Johns Hopkins University as well as data from World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control. To help teams collaborate while employees are away from the office, Quip Starter will be available for free to any Salesforce customer or non-profit organization through September 30, 2020.
