Using DappSuite, Salesforce customers can maintain their Salesforce system of record (SOR) and have a consistent and common frame of reference with their counterparties on other systems of record for B2B intercompany automation. A Salesforce customer can baseline contracts (e.g RFP, MSA, SLA), b2b workflows and other sales processes between any number of Salesforce and non-Salesforce customer’s CRM or ERP systems. This product was developed to help Salesforce Customers synchronize with each other as well as with non-Salesforce customers in record time. Businesses can no longer wait for costly system and API portal integrations, data reconciliations, and manual time spent managing ETLs.

“The Baseline Protocol is a huge advancement for enterprise adoption of secure, private and collaborative workflows that leverage the public Ethereum Mainnet. Salesforce customers have been using DappSuite to seamlessly harness Ethereum. Increasingly, they have been demanding a common frame of reference across counterparties that Dappsuite now enables with the Baseline integration” — Dom Steil, Co-Founder and CTO of Dapps Inc.

Any number of Salesforce and non-Salesforce customers can instantiate CRM processes that provide the capabilities of non-repudiation, record consistency, workflow integrity and verifications of offchain private business logic execution. The Baseline initiative, originated by EY, Microsoft, Consensus and 14 other firms, has grown to hundreds of participants and seen a number of other integrations including Dynamics365, SAP and Google Sheets.

The Baseline Protocol community’s goal is to accelerate the development and adoption of the Ethereum Mainnet as an always-on, tamper-resistant, low cost integration fabric.

Applying Baseline

Baseline is a powerful protocol that makes it easy for any organization to use the EVM in a privacy preserving and secure manner. Baseline can be applied to any number of Salesforce workflows and business processes that include standard and custom Salesforce objects. The processes are focused on inter-company b2b processes such as RFP, MSA, Purchase Orders and Invoices. The value of leveraging the Baseline Protocol for inter-company processes is that there is a always on and verifiable way of connecting multiple companies using different systems of record without having to spend time leveraging B2B extract transform load (ETL) and services engagements to have the systems communicate. The other benefit of leveraging the baseline protocol is that the Ethereum Mainnet is neutral across counterparties therefore accelerating enterprise adoption of blockchain networks for b2b interactions.

How to Start

Salesforce customers can Baseline their b2b processes leveraging DappSuite, available on the Salesforce AppExchange. The open-source DappSuite middleware has also been updated to support the Baseline Protocol APIs and is available for review on Github. Download DappSuite; select the Baseline Global Action and then select which record you want Baselined to the Ethereum Mainnet.
