1.Introduction to Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is usually defined as storing and managing the data over
the cloud, rather than a local server. Cloud computing is easy to
understand. All applications are developed and run in the web browser.
Using the internet connection, users and developers will have access to
whole applications thus eliminating the complexity and overhead of the
maintain environment.

Unlike traditional business applications which are complicated,

expensive and need experts to install, run, update and secure, cloud
computing can be accessed anywhere with an online connection. In
traditional systems, the entire infrastructure must work together. For
such type of seamless interaction, and for the smooth run of the system,
a constant maintenance is always required. With cloud computing, there
is no necessity to invest money in acquiring and supporting hardware
and software infrastructure, thus decreasing the potential cost for users
and developers.

The main impact of cloud computing is on the responsiveness of IT

systems. With the cloud computing environment, we can add users and
developers instantly, and the applications can be deployed rapidly into
the cloud which reduces the user request response time. As the
complexity of the of the internal systems is removed, the organization can
speed up the entire IT process.

1.1 Service Models of Cloud Computing:

1.11 Software as a Service (SaaS):

The end user can access the application which is developed by the provider on a
cloud framework. The developed applications are available from different customer
devices through interfaces like a web program or a program interface. Cloud
infrastructure, servers, networks, storage and operating systems cannot be managed
or controlled by the customer [9,12]. Cloud application services represent the
increasing cloud market. Software as a service utilizes the internet to deploy the
applications overseen by the vendor and whose interface will be able to access on
the customer side. Many of the applications developed using SaaS will run in a web
browser by using some plugins. There will not be need of any download or
establishments. The major applications which are developed using SaaS are
healthcare related applications, client relationship administrations, incorporate
email, and collaboration. Some of the costly ventures which are not able to
considered as software vendors started using SaaS to get the upper hand and gain
income.

1.12 Platform as a Service(PaaS):

The Client can deploy onto the cloud infrastructure developed by the customers with
the help of libraries, tools, services and the programming languages which are
supported by the client. The underlying infrastructure of cloud and storage, servers,
network or operating systems cannot be managed or controlled by the Customer [9].
Cloud platform services can be utilized for applications and their advancements
when cloud segments are given to programming. Developers can be able to pick the
structure using PaaS where the applications can be expanded to create or modify.
The testing and deployment of applications become easy and fast if the PaaS is used.
Enterprise PaaS gives a self-service portal to programming engineers for overseeing
computing infrastructure from information technology operations. Scalability,
Software as a service enablement and multi-occupancy can be acquired by the
applications using PaaS. The coding fundamental measure will be decreased for the
enterprises using PaaS and the application will be converted to a hybrid model.

1.13 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):
The customer can arrange systems, storage, processing and other essential
computing resources in which the client can run and send arbitrary software like
applications and operating systems. The hidden cloud infrastructure is not controlled
or overseen by the customer but rather he can control over operating systems,
storage, servers and network. Cloud infrastructure services, referred to as IaaS, are
models beneficial for overseeing and observing remote data center frameworks such
as organizing, processing, stockpiling and networking services. With the help of
IaaS, clients will get utility billing and power benefits.

2.Salesforce

2.1 Introduction to Salesforce:

Salesforce is one of the world's prime cloud computing companies and number one
on-demand customer relationship management(CRM). Salesforce does not need
any software installation or hardware or any infrastructure like servers. All we
need to access Salesforce is the internet. This empowers even the most non-techie
individuals to be able to use the system and configure it as per their needs.
Established as Salesforce.com(SFDC) and its customer relationship management
(CRM) service and then divided into different sectors like sales cloud, service
cloud, community cloud, analytics cloud, data cloud, marketing cloud, app cloud,
and so on. Since Salesforce coordinates well with all the platforms and supports all
major OS and mobile devices, it is anything but difficult to utilize Salesforce
outside of the workplace, thus helps to improve productivity.

2.2 The Architecture of Salesforce:

Salesforce has a multi-tenant Architecture. Multi-tenancy is the fundamental
technology utilized as a part of the cloud to share its resources safely and cost
effectively. It's much the same as bank services where various tenants cost-
efficiently share a common infrastructure yet safely and with most protection from
other tenants. A cloud utilizes multi-tenant infrastructure to share its assets safely
among different applications and occupants (organizations, associations, and so on)
that use the cloud. Some clouds utilize virtualization-based architecture to confine
occupants; others utilize custom software architecture to take care of business. The
multi-tenant outline of a cloud service can dramatically affect the application
delivery and the profitability of IT organization.

2.3 Salesforce Multiple View Controller (MVC):
MVC is a design pattern which separates business logic from interface logic i.e. it
separates the graphical interface displayed to the user with the code that manages
the user actions [4]. In Salesforce, using SFDC visual force, we can write VIEW
pages which are very similar to java servlets page(JSP) pages. Each
visualforce(VF) page is corelated with a controller. The controller and model
classes can be written using Apex language. In SFDC, controller part comprises of
workflows, triggers, Apex classes and model layer comprises of fields,
relationships, objects and View layer comprises of Tabs, page layouts, VF pages.
SFDC MVC mainly consists of three modules namely Model, View and
Controller. 1) Model: Here we represent what schema and data the Salesforce used
for the system representation and Sobjects are a model, as every entity is mapped
to some subject in Salesforce. 2) View: Here we represent how data and schema
and visual force are used to present data to users. 3) Controller: Here we use
controllers and interface actions to perform actions when the user interacts with
visual force.

2.4 Technologies of Salesforce:

1) Apex Salesforce has a programming language called Apex. It is a case-

insensitive, mostly typed object-oriented programming language with syntax
identical Java with curly brackets and dotnotation syntax. Apex is used to run
programs and procedure in Force.com such as links, buttons, record insertion and
so on with visual force custom controllers.

2) Visualforce Visualforce(VF) is a framework for the Force.com platform with

tag-based markup language identical to HTML. With the help of Visualforce,
custom pages can be created for mobile apps and desktops with the help of with
other front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, jquery, and JavaScript. With the
Visualforce standard and custom controller features, we can build our own
business logic in Apex.

3) Lighting Lightning is a component-based framework for the Salesforce1 mobile

app which is built on an open source Aura framework. With the lighting
framework, responsive applications can be built easily. The apps build on the
Lighting framework is sold or brought on AppExchange [5]. Lightning App
builder for Salesforce is a tool for quick application advancement of responsive
web interfaces. This interface takes into account distinctive screens to be
assembled given lightning segments. This can be layouts as formats for records or
particular applications.

3.Product Management System:

3.1 Introduction:
Product management is the process of managing all the information required
to market and sell products through distribution channels. This product data
is created by an internal organization to support a multichannel
marketing strategy.
A central hub of product data can be used to distribute information to sales
channels such as e-commerce websites, print catalogues, marketplaces such
as Amazon and Google Shopping, social media platforms like Instagram and
electronic data feeds to trading partners.
PIM solutions are most relevant to business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-
to-business (B2B) firms that sell products through a variety of sales channels
in a range of industries. The use of PIM is generally influenced by a company's:

• wide array of products and/or complex product data set

• frequently changing product characteristics
• increasing number of sales channels
• non-uniform IT infrastructure (plethora of data sources and
formats)
• online business and electronic ordering
• various locales and localization requirements

This systems manage customer-facing product data needed to support

multiple geographic locations, multilingual data, and maintenance and
modification of product information within a centralized catalogue. Product
information kept by a business can be scattered throughout departments and
held by employees or systems, instead of being available centrally; data may
be saved in various formats, or only be available in hard copy form.
Information may be needed for detailed product descriptions with prices, or
calculating freight costs. It represents a solution for centralized, media-
independent product data maintenance, as well as efficient data collection,
enrichment, data governance and output.

3.2 Technology and Use:
This systems consolidate all product information onto a single platform. It
helps connect retailing and manufacturing channels to counter complex
challenges in managing and maintaining product data quality. In terms of
company IT infrastructure, this means having a PIM platform running over or
alongside a database with an application server, and/or XML-based exchange
of product information. This forms a foundation upon which to build sales and
procurement business processes. With this solutions, access and user
authorizations for all database information, ordering processes linked
with inventory management systems and the mechanisms for modular
expansions are managed via a web-based administration interface.
Point of sales systems and online shopping platforms such as online
marketplaces are based upon electronic catalogues. This systems can load
descriptive product information as content into a catalogue management
solution, where products are grouped and managed for specific target
markets. Data exchange interface standards such as Open ICEcat allow
seamless interchange of electronic catalogues between vendors on the one
hand and purchasing firms and marketplace operators. E-
procurement solutions are closely related, which automate the procurement
process for purchasing goods and services. These create transparency for the
product data of multiple vendors to support the centralized management of
multi-supplier catalogues and facilitate price and quality research.
Data management systems are often not interoperable meaning that data
exchange without this can lead to severe repercussions for a business. Some
companies use master data management as an IT resource in lieu of PIM. But
MDM systems are not a business application and often lack usability, product
data management capability including data enrichment, validation and
workflow rules, which impact return on investment.
IDC, a technology research firm, published the "IDC MarketScape: Worldwide
Product Information Management Applications for Commerce 2021 Vendor
Assessment" in July 2021. It
named Akeneo, EnterWorks, Informatica, inRiver, Riversand and Salsify as
Leaders. Stibo Systems, Pimberly, Winshuttle, Pimcore, Saleslayer, Bluestone
PIM, Syndigo and Via Medici were classified as Major Players. It evaluated the
strengths, challenges and considerations of each vendor for prospective
customers.
