Adam Gross, director of Sforce said, "Partners can upload and edit marketing collateral via a self-service site directly to a centralized secure document database, triggering automatic email alerts, with documents exported to the On-Demand Marketplace (www.salesforce.com/marketplace ).ShareMethods has an innovative and successful solution that helps demonstrate the value of the on-demand model.  We are delighted to have them as part of our Sforce ecosystem, and to leverage their service to help us reduce costs and save time."
