Salesforce integration all-or-nothing -


we have customer makes use of salesforce, want develop own site perform multitude of functions of require integration salesforce data , functionality.

in discussions salesforce vendor , our customer, salesforce vendor pushed customer in salesforce itself, in portal solution entire website run through salesforce, or switch basic html pages on own server salesforce pages (skinned customer's site).

surely recommendation not in best interests of customer?

doesn't restrict , limit salesforce technologies , costs?

long term, if company decided in future expand , build web based functionality totally separate salesforce happen?

let me know think , possibly give me link or 2 motivate you're saying. i'm hoping system/application architects ones answer, not salesforce vendors.

thanks, jacques

they may have been talking salesforce sites. allow build lot of custom functionality, , leverage power of salesforce platform. said, lock in somewhat. limit can do. depends functionality salesforce want expose customers through site. may case salesforce customer portal (skinned fit corporate , feel) suffice, , can leave existing site alone.

the other option build functionality on own site using soap or rest based apis salesforce offer. has it's pros , cons too. offers more flexibility want site, , can switch hosting provider site relatively easily. switch php asp site , still have same functionality. of takes time develop. can used way around expensive salesforce licenses though, , salesforce becomes fancy database site in regards.

without knowing how of data/functionality within salesforce customer wants on site, , want website, difficult give clear answer though.
