Cost Effective Solution for Storage of Files

Storage-Files

Scenario

Our Client requires large amounts of file storage per customer. Storing these files in Salesforce would lead to an unacceptable cost for additional Salesforce storage capacity. Our Client requested a way to store this large volume of files externally without the purchase of additional Salesforce storage. AWT created the solution to store the Salesforce files to an external storage by still having the upload and access controls within Salesforce.

Solution Offered

  • AWT proposed a solution to handle the files in external storages like Amazon S3, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive. These are lower cost alternatives to additional Salesforce storage.

  • AWT built a customized application that would allow the users to upload/edit/delete/view the files within Salesforce.

  • Uploaded files are securely handled in the external storage and a secured link is provided to users for handling the files.

Business Benefits

  • Higher cost license purchase was avoided. Operation cost was reduced by 35%.

  • Client is capable of storing the large volume of data at reduced cost. This simplified strategic planning and ensured scalability for business growth.

  • Duplicate files are identified during upload and prevented which minimizes the external storage and the respective billing cost.
