Dreamforce 2013: You don’t have to blow things up to be explosive

Dreamforce 2013: You don’t have to blow things up to be explosive

By Paul Greenberg on December 18, 2013

Overview I’ve been going to Dreamforce, salesforce.com’s big annual shindig for many years, and for many years, I’ve seen the same thing over and over.  And no, that’s not what a party! Which it is. It’s not oh, whoa, another big, big event. Which it is. It’s not, another amazing work of presentation art. Which […]

Dreamforce 12 – Crazy Big, with Lower Barriers

Dreamforce 12 – Crazy Big, with Lower Barriers

By James Governor on September 21, 2012

Tweet Dreamforce is a big event. Crazy big. Nearly 90,000 people came to San Francisco this week for the annual celebration of all things salesforce.com. The city shut down Howard Street between the north and south sides of the Moscone Center so that the company could pack in even more people. Salesforce did a slick […]

By John Taschek on November 16, 2011

Not that long ago but in a place far away, I came to the conclusion that devices that purported to help people manage their days in fact made the problem worse. I was taking aim at everything from the Palm to the Franklin planner. The problem as I stated in my long lost archives of […]

Some Economic Consequences of Dreamforce

Some Economic Consequences of Dreamforce

By Denis Pombriant on September 8, 2011

It’s worthwhile to consider the economic consequences of Dreamforce — the products announced as well as the cultural issues it raised.  Now, I am not an economist and I encourage you to think about that and maybe not read this if that matters. Many people might look at the news coming out of San Francisco […]

Dreamforce 2011: Salesforce Forces its Way Onto The Top Table, Gets Big to Win Ugly

By James Governor on September 6, 2011

“Apps companies get acquired, and platform companies get acquired. To be a strategic supplier, with off the shelf solutions, and custom apps, you need to offer both.” So said Byron Sebastian, general manager at Heroku and Salesforce.com SVP of Platform at Dreamforce last week. Many of my peers have already posted about the event, so […]

Previewing Dreamforce

Previewing Dreamforce

By Denis Pombriant on August 27, 2011

People keep calling me to ask what Salesforce is going to announce and Dreamforce.  My standard answer is, how would I know?  I get briefings like a lot of analysts but in a situation like this you usually have to promise to hold the news until the company makes its announcements.  This is not new […]

Every SaaS provider runs a private cloud

Every SaaS provider runs a private cloud

By Phil Wainewright on July 5, 2011

One of the highly misleading assumptions built into the term ‘private cloud’ is the notion that there’s no privacy in the public cloud. People talk as though cloud providers don’t use firewalls or private networks or encryption. But of course they do. In most cases, the technology infrastructure they use is far more secure than […]

I Was Wrong: The Next Big Thing is NOT Cloud Computing

I Was Wrong: The Next Big Thing is NOT Cloud Computing

By Anshu Sharma on May 10, 2011

Yes, after 5 years of being a big fan of cloud computing. I admit defeat. I am, as of today, changing my worldview. Cloud Computing is no longer the future. And that’s the bad news.

But the good news is that Cloud Computing is now an accepted reality …

What to Do When Your Cloud is Down

What to Do When Your Cloud is Down

By Bob Warfield on April 21, 2011

As I write this, Amazon is having a major East Coast outage that has affected Heroku, Foursquare, Quora, Reddit and others.  Heroku’s status page is just the sound of a lost sheep bleating repeatedly for its mother in heavy fog.  What’s a poor sheep to do about this problem anyway?  After all, isn’t a Cloud-based […]
