At its fourth annual TrailheaDX developer conference,Salesforceannounced its new low-code platform calledSalesforceBlockchain that enables organizations to share verified, distributed data sets across a trusted network of partners and third parties.

By bringingblockchainto itsCRMplatform, the company is enabling organizations to create blockchain networks, workflows and apps that have the potential to deliver entirely new customer experiences.

To deliver increased connectivity for their organization and customers, businesses need to be able to harness and share massive amounts of data with their network of partners and third parties, all without sacrificing trust. Blockchain technology is able to solve this “trust gap” through the use of a distributed ledger that saves, traces and authenticates data across every employee and partner in the network.

The combination of Salesforce’s CRM workflows with blockchain data will allow companies to create new business processes and models that span their entire organization to help accelerate the speed of business.
