What is Grax?
Adapt Faster with GRAX

We are building the fastest, most reliable and compliant way to backup, archive, recover, pipe and consume your Salesforce application data anywhere.
Our manifesto
Why we built GRAX
It’s time we stood up for the past.
For looking backward.
Because the past isn’t the opposite of the future.
It’s part of it.
It’s the foundation that makes it possible.
And the more we reflect on it and understand its impact,
the more we can shape our journey ahead.
With each passing moment the past gathers a staggering,
illuminating, meaningful trove of new events,
new stories,
new experiences,
new surprises,
new interpretations and
new insights
that continually change our
understanding and perspective.
And even though the world revolves around “what’s next?”
answering that question is a lot easier if you can understand
“what just happened?”
Because the past is a map filled with
clues and suggestions and…
Answers.
The secret is keeping pace
not missing a thing,
And realizing that
the future is what you make of the past .
