Safety and compliance leaders today want an EHS solution that is natively built in the cloud. Some of the key advantages of a cloud-based EHS (vs. on-premise solutions) include:
The bigger question is: what is the right cloud platform to use while building a next-generation EHS solution? Is it AWS, Azure, or Salesforce? And, that’s the question we’ll answer in this blog.
There is no doubt that Microsoft’s Azure or Amazon’s AWS are among the world’s most comprehensive and widely-adopted cloud platforms. Both AWS and Azure offer Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), so product companies don’t have to worry about compute and storage capacities.
Having said that, the development tools available in the AWS and Azure ecosystem allow each developer to use these tools to build their application any way they want – there is no consistency, no certification, and no guarantee that other vendor applications will work together or easily integrate.
On the other hand, the Salesforce platform offers much more than infrastructure.
It is, in fact, a “Business” Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) wherein all IT management (infrastructure and application platform innovation) requirements are automatically taken care of. Vendors can take advantage of the application development tools in building consistency into their solution, such as an intuitive user interface/user navigation, reporting, dashboards, etc.
In this post, we offer a deep dive into the finer differences between AWS or Azure offers as a platform vs. Salesforce.
When AWS or Azure is used, the product vendor is still responsible for the following:
From an EHS solution perspective, the biggest disadvantage of using AWS or Azure is that one still needs a dedicated IT and technology team to build and manage the infrastructure. This often results in increased costs and slower time-to-value.
Salesforce AdvantageAs briefly touched upon above, Salesforce offers a modern cloud “Business Platform” not only providing IaaS and PaaS but also Business Development Tools. For example, all apps built will have the same user interface, user navigation, and report & dashboard generation. Using a Salesforce-built app makes it familiar and easier to use other apps which helps accelerate user adoption.
The Salesforce PaaS is designed to deliver the following:
Overall, from a value proposition standpoint, Salesforce is better for two key reasons: lower TCO and faster time-to-value (TTV).
Make no mistake, AWS as a platform is highly secure, reliable, and flexible as well. But the onus of delivering this capability is with the vendor. One needs a dedicated cloud engineering team to ensure that all necessary AWS configurations are in place. It can also get more expensive in terms of pricing.
Salesforce AdvantageIn the case of building a QHSE on the Salesforce platform, a vendor (like ComplianceQuest) can focus on innovation, building a set of EHS solutions to automate key processes without spending time or resources on platform configuration.
The answer to this question is straightforward: To drive innovation at a platform level, vendors need a top-notch cloud engineering team to take advantage of what AWS offers.
AWS, of course, offers a wide range of tools for developers. This includes a vast array of SDK components in familiar, easy-to-use programming languages. These SDKs include those for AI, analytics, and collaboration. But, these are more pre-code snippets and require serious engineering effort to build and deploy.
For instance with AWS, if you would like to build a team collaboration tool like Chatter, it requires a highly-skilled team of developers and cloud specialists to build this into your application.
If ComplianceQuest had used AWS, we would have to allocate bandwidth to build something like Chatter or Einstein Analytics, using various AWS Services, SDKs, or AWS Marketplace third-party software, taking away time on focusing on our customers’ problems and our solutions.
Salesforce AdvantageWith the Salesforce platform, our work has become easier. More importantly, it is about understanding and solving the needs and wants of our end-users – quality and safety professionals. We’re able to leverage Salesforce platform tools like Einstein AI, Einstein Analytics, and Chatter and build application-specific capabilities on top of that.
Salesforce improves the platform and releases new capabilities three times a year and provides early releases for vendors to test and prepare their applications for smooth upgrades. This allows vendors like ComplianceQuest to get access to continuous platform-level innovation which is reflected in how the usability of the app continues to improve.
Salesforce also offers a trusted integration and API Platform, to integrate data from any system.
The API platform makes it easy to
With the Salesforce Platform, developers (and business users) can take advantage of lightning-fast no-code tools to build and configure apps, very quickly. Some of the capabilities of the Salesforce Platform include:
In summary, the key advantages of building an EHS solution on the Salesforce platform are:
