Platform Native

Platform Native

By Denis Pombriant on October 20, 2014

A number of Salesforce AppExchange partners including Apttus, Kenandy and ServiceMax formed an alliance called the Force United Consortium back in April but I hadn’t had the chance to talk to anyone about it. It’s a cool idea and a way to differentiate a partner that makes good use of the Salesforce1 Platform. I got […]

Dreaming of the next generation of clouds

By Vinnie Mirchandani on October 20, 2014

Dreamforce this week had an even more festive feel than ever. Pennant fever gripped the town as the Giants played October ball. The Beach Boys sounded as youthful as ever during Benioff’s keynote.

Dreamforce 2014: Announcements, Paradigm Shift, Crowds

By Denis Pombriant on October 17, 2014

Dreamforce has always been about many things happening at once — a three-ring circus in a good way. There are announcements about applications, platforms, philanthropy, entertainment and, importantly, parties. This year there was all of that and then some I was a guest with a ringside seat. Since most of the product announcements came out […]

Dreamforce Preview

By Denis Pombriant on October 7, 2014

No need to speculate about all of the Salesforce announcements expected to emanate from Dreamforce next week in San Francisco. The company is providing an assist to the news starved — and the news weary — ahead of the event.

Mobile First? Mobile Only? Mobile Also?

Mobile First? Mobile Only? Mobile Also?

By Esteban Kolsky on September 25, 2014

The rise of mobile has been fast and furious. With an estimated 6.8 billion subscriptions for almost 7 billion citizens of this world it is nothing short of befuddling. This quick rise of mobile apps, almost like nothing ever seen before, has taken most organizations by surprise. As a result, virtually none of them have […]
