Salesforce Launched Communities Today

Salesforce Launched Communities Today

By Esteban Kolsky on May 2, 2013

Moxie Tries to Change The Collaboration Game

By Esteban Kolsky on May 1, 2013

OK, I am not going to assume you know this – so here it is: Moxie Software is a long-standing client (so are the competitors for the solution described here – I cannot escape that fact; I work in the industry I cover) and I worked with them on the strategy leading to this launch. […]

What’s Your Story?

What’s Your Story?

By Susan Scrupski on February 25, 2013
