Application Launchers in Menu-driven format

Hi,


My Customer has a Siebel CRM and they want to move to Salesforce CRM.


In Siebel CRM, they have a tab infact a Menu called "Applications" in Menu Bar which when clicked shows Applications menu items enlisting several applications in this format :-


Applications

App 1

App 2

App 3  

Sub App 3.1  

Sub App 3.2

App 4

App 5  

Sub App 5.1  

Sub App 5.2  

Sub App 5.3


How can I show the same in Salesforce? Note that the applications are either SSO Enabled sites or non-SSO enabled sites. But that is not the issue. My problem is how should I show these on Salesforce?


I created quick custom links and grouped them into Home Page Components. But then I dont know how should I show Sub Apps item from the App group (example : App 3 group and its sub apps).


I can only think of Visualforce Page solution. But I dont know if it can show Menu-driven interface like I mentioned above? I can think of hierarchical representation but then the Sub Apps will be only till 2nd level so dont know if it can be useful. Also, if VF is the better solution, from where should I initiate the page? Messages and Alerts section? Is it possible to launch a VF page from there?

Please advise.

 


Thanks,


Vimal
