FLOSUM UNVEILS NEW WINTER RELEASE '21 TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY, SECURITY AND INTEGRATIONS FOR SALESFORCE DEVELOPER TEAMS

SAN RAMON, Calif., Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Flosum, the leading DevSecOps release management platform for Salesforce, today announced the unveiling of Flosum Winter Release '21 for its release management solution, database backup and recovery tool and data migrator. Flosum Winter Release '21 focuses on delivering new developer productivity and enhanced integrations. In addition, Flosum has greatly increased focus on security in the wake of major trends toward DevSecOps and Zero Trust Policies.

According to Gartner^®, Inc.¹, "A fundamental principle of DevOps, and one of its best known, is the goal of moving work through the system as rapidly as possible. Less well-understood, but crucial to DevOps and application security, is the principle of providing feedback to developers at an equal pace, and as early in the process as possible."  

Advanced auditing and reporting are only the company's first steps as Flosum aims to take a holistic approach to providing end-to-end security in the Salesforce Cloud. In addition to enhanced security, Flosum Winter Release '21 focuses on increased productivity for Salesforce DevOps teams, including merge conflicts enhancements, new Flosum metrics, and enhanced integration capabilities with Worksoft, Provar and Git. As always, Flosum will strive to increase speed while reducing errors in DevOps tasks.

"Our focus is on making developers more productive on the Salesforce platform," said Girish Jashnani, CEO and Founder of Flosum. "What we have heard from customers is that we are one of the only solutions that actually understands the Salesforce code, so as code is moving from developers, to QA, to production, we can automatically fix the code issues. With our latest release, we are further extending the capabilities of our solution to drive greater efficiencies."

Most companies using Salesforce leverage apps from Salesforce AppExchange to extend Salesforce across industries, departments and products. Among the new features relevant to these businesses are the new metrics within Flosum built on Tableau CRM for enhanced auditing and reporting capabilities, including reporting metrics that can help companies manage throughput and get to zero errors when deploying on Salesforce.
