FAQ

How is the Propel cloud solution different from other cloud offerings?

When selecting a cloud solution, it’s important to understand if the solution is truly multi-tenant or is simply hosted in a data center like Amazon Web Services or Azure. A multi-tenant cloud solution like Propel offers cost efficiency by sharing resources across multiple users, leading to lower operational costs. It ensures scalability, enabling easy resource adjustments to meet varying demands. Enhanced updates and maintenance are streamlined across all tenants, providing robust security and up-to-date services. Conversely, solutions that are hosted in a data center simply reduce hardware support costs, but lack the architectural and operational benefits that a true, modern multi-tenant application provides.

Propel runs on the Salesforce platform. Do I need to already have Salesforce to use Propel? Do I need to also buy Salesforce licenses?

No. Propel is deployed with what is called an “OEM embedded” license. This means that the system is completely self-contained and does not require the customer to be an existing Salesforce user or to buy any Salesforce licenses.

Do we need to hire a Salesforce administrator to manage Propel?

No. Note that for any PLM system, there will be some level of necessary administration. Typical administrative tasks include provisioning users, creating or modifying workflows, and maintaining reports and dashboards. In Propel, most administration tasks are done within the user interface without the need to write code. Propel also leverages the Salesforce platform for some configuration settings. Many of our customers find that their Propel admin is perfectly capable of doing this work – even if they are brand new to the job of being a PLM admin!

In addition, many companies already have Salesforce admins on their team who are well equipped to provide support. Lastly, there are thousands of readily available online resources to enable any new user or administrator to be self-sufficient.

Is Propel able to work in a GovCloud environment?

Yes. GovCloud environments are available for customers that require ITAR, FedRAMP, or DoD IL2, IL4, or IL5 compliance. Note that GovCloud is NOT a requirement to deploy Propel.
