A managed package is a way to distribute a group of components (aka an App) to multiple orgs (customers).  The benefits of a manage package include:

 

 

  • Customers can seamlessly upgrade from one version of the package to another
  • IP protection for the developer
  • Ability to license and sell your package at an org or user level
  • Globally unique namespace for your components (no name clashes on install)
  • Ability to auto deploy patch updates to all your customers. 
 
Hope that helps!

Is this like I creates an application or functionality and I can deliver or publish this to other companies.

 

For example I am creating a functionality to publish videos/audios (similar to youtube.com) in Salesforce.com CRM using apex and visualforce. and I can distribute same to other companies ?

 

 

Thanks
