The cloud kept running. Your records could still vanish. OwnBackup turned that gap into a data protection business that Salesforce eventually bought.
The Boston software company built an undo button for Salesforce. Its bigger wager is that yesterday’s CRM records can become today’s cleanest fuel for analytics and AI - without asking customers to surrender custody of their data.
Prodly is a Palo Alto-based software company that builds DevOps automation for Salesforce, focused on the parts of the platform that most deployment tools ignore: configuration data. Its AppOps suite handles release management, sandbox seeding, automated regression testing, data migration and compliance reporting so admins and developers can move CPQ, Revenue Cloud and other low-code changes between environments without hand-copying records or breaking production. Founded in 2014 by Max Rudman - who previously founded SteelBrick, the product Salesforce acquired and rebranded as Salesforce CPQ - Prodly raised a $10M Series A in 2021 and positions itself as the tool teams add when relational data deployment is the gap other DevOps platforms leave open.
