Salesforce Application Hosting

Hi,

Most of the below questions seem to be very basic and stupid, but anyway I am daring to put them in the forum... :)

Please clarify the following queries:

Let us say we have two companies, C and D.
Say, C is the Client company which needs to have an Application, say A to be developed. D is the Development Company which develops the Application required by the Client C in the Salesforce(Force.com Platform).
D finishes the Application A and C want to access the Application A.

Where will the Application be hosted? How C is going to access A? What about the Licenses?

So the basic questions are:

1. How does D decide on the Salesforce Editions to develop Application A?
2. After finishing the Development of the Application in Salesforce, how does D enable the client to access the Application A? I mean where does the hosting occur? Are there different ways of hosting the Salesforce Application? Is there any Licensing applicable here?
3. Please explain the flow of Development and hosting of a Salesforce Application with an example with possible ways. If there is any useful link regarding above queries, please share.


Thanks a lot!

Hi Jaya, 


Applications are developed in the TEST ORG which is called SANDBOX of the C . 

So usually Development companies are Given access to the Sandbox Orgs of main Clients Test Orgs.

Or the Application can be developed by an Independent Developer in a Developer Org which is Developers Own test Org and the Metadata Can be migrated to the Client Sandbox. 


1. How does D decide on the Salesforce Editions to develop Application A?

D & C collectively decide where they are going to develop the App and how will it be migrated. 


2. After finishing the Development of the Application in Salesforce, how does D enable the client to access the Application A? I mean where does the hosting occur? Are there different ways of hosting the Salesforce Application? Is there any Licensing applicable here?

The Metada will be migrated from the Dev Org or Sandbox and can be migrated - component wise.
