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 […]

Database.com, nice name, shame about the platform (Huh?)

Database.com, nice name, shame about the platform (Huh?)

By Bob Warfield on January 19, 2011

Matt McAdams writes an interesting guest post for Phil Wainewright’s ZDNet blog, Software as Services.  I knew when I read the snarky title, “Database.com, nice name, shame about the platform,” I had to check it out. The key issue McAdams seems to have with Database.com (aside from the fact his own company’s vision of PaaS is […]

Well, I am a systems guy…

Well, I am a systems guy…

By Denis Pombriant on December 15, 2010

It’s amazing to me how we overuse words.  Bothering to notice is an occupational hazard of the writing life, I suppose.  For instance, consider the word unique, which means one of a kind, if you add very or any other modifier to it, you get mush.  Today’s word might be amazing.  There is entirely too […]

Dreamforce 2010

Dreamforce 2010

By Michael Fauscette on December 12, 2010

Salesforce.com’s Dreamforce conference opened last Tuesday morning to the driving beat of WILL.I.AM and the showmanship of its flamboyant CEO Marc Benioff. Dreamforce is always a lively event but this year the energy level was over the top and only overshadowed a little by Benioff’s much discussed rainbow socks. I suppose you have to accept […]

Dreamforce Day One

Dreamforce Day One

By Denis Pombriant on December 8, 2010

It’s sort of like the funny story about a young person discovering that Paul McCartney was in another group before Wings. Marc Benioff had another company sandwiched in between his Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) days and founding Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM). So for those of us who knew that, Database.com had the same kind of retro vibe […]

Database.com - Why? How? What?

Database.com – Why? How? What?

By Anshu Sharma on December 8, 2010

Why? Developers are moving to the cloud because users expect their applications to be available from multiple devices – not just a PC or Mac – but a myriad new computers that come in the shapes of tablets, smart phones, and purpose-built devices. Users want be able to access their data from home, work, and […]

PaaS bystanders squished as database giants spar

PaaS bystanders squished as database giants spar

By Phil Wainewright on December 7, 2010

A lot of companies are seeing their destinies rewritten in the course of today’s DreamForce keynote session this morning â and I’m not talking about customers looking ahead to transforming their business operations, though that might be the topic of a future post from DreamForce this week. No, I’m talking about the startups and enterprising […]
