The {{EnterpriseBrand}} is a database in the cloud that doubles as a PaaS (Platform as a Service). That means you get a database on steroids that includes a suite of pre-built application templates, so you can run, customize, and build enterprise apps "in the cloud"--applications that are driven by workflow processes and data policies, and that support collaboration. (And because the applications run in the cloud, you don't have to worry about scalability, backups, database administration, network administration, upgrades, or maintenance!)

== Getting Started ==
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrU0Ai7jqSQ What Can {{BrandLabel}} Do for Us?]
The {{EnterpriseBrand}} is a business process and application platform that lets you create process-driven, situational, case management applications in a very short time. The applications are mobile-enabled with [[Web Services]] support and social collaboration.

You can build your application without programming and development tools. APIs are available when you need them and on-premises installation is also available if you want to create a private cloud. You don't have to worry about scalability, backups, database administration, network administration, upgrades, or maintenance as this is a cloud based application.


*'''General Orientation'''
You can get started by importing {{^CSV}} data exported from a spreadsheet, or you can use the [[Application Construction Wizard]]. This platform allows you to define and evolve [[Processes]], and when the processes don't fit, a case agent creates an ad hoc procedure on the fly (a [[Multi Step Task]]).
