towards further enhancing the developer experience GROUP

by offering a more integrated and productive way to

build applications entirely in the cloud.

Cloud9 for Salesforce is an intuitive, modern development environment for App Cloud,
Salesforce’s Platform-as-a-Service. By removing the need for time-consuming installation,
configuration and updates, developers have instant access to everything they love about
high-quality desktop editors with all the convenience, flexibility and power of the cloud. From
language support and project sharing to live collaboration and workspace customization,
Salesforce developers have a seamless, more productive experience developing for the cloud
—entirely in the cloud.

With over 2.3 million developers and counting, the Salesforce developer community is one of
the fastest growing enterprise developer community worldwide. “From our perspective, the
most exciting and immediate opportunity for software development today is to move to the
cloud. We know that is not just possible, it’s actually happening. And it’s better,” said Ruben
Daniels, CEO and Founder of Cloud9.

“The pressure was on since we knew we needed to not only be as good as a desktop IDE, but
significantly better. And based on the feedback we received on the beta release and at
Dreamforce, we feel confident that we have exceeded expectations,” said John Dunham, COO
of Cloud9.

“The Cloud9 Salesforce IDE is superb and really shines as a world-class code editor. With the
streamlined setup, elegant interface, useful toolset, and consistent experience, you’ll be hard-
pressed to find a better way to write your Salesforce code,” said Jeff Arwady, a Salesforce
Developer with Xede Consulting Group who was part of the beta group.

Cloud9 is focused on this product being the first of many more enterprise level
customizations that improve the developer experience. Based on the amount of time
developers spend inside their IDE, Cloud9 saw a clear opportunity to turn the IDE into a useful
hub that connects the many different cloud services. In the case of Salesforce, this includes
Force and Heroku to start. Cloud9 also has integrations with development services such as
GitHub and Atlassian’s Bitbucket.
