# Canvas Scenarios

From a high-level view, there are two common scenarios where Canvas is implemented.

-   Application integration—You’re a partner, systems integrator, or customer that builds cloud apps, and you’d like to integrate these applications with Salesforce.
-   Application rationalization/enterprise desktop—You’re a large organization that has many existing apps that your users access in addition to Salesforce. You’d like to integrate these apps into Salesforce so that users can accomplish all of their tasks in one place.
