Dreamforce 2011: Salesforce & the Social Enterprise Will Be Here All Week (Part 3)

By Paul Greenberg on September 21, 2011

The “Other” Technology Stuff Chatter was the centerpiece of the social enterprise that salesforce.com announced but still only part of the technological foundation.  Several other pieces need to be brought out here before we rev up the engines and fly briefly into the CRM pillars of salesforce and some of my concerns in the midst […]

Dreamforce 2011: Salesforce & the Social Enterprise Will Be Here All Week (Part 1)

By Paul Greenberg on September 19, 2011

Every time I write about Salesforce, I feel compelled to tell the same story as my opening.  So I’m gonna again, because I genuinely think that its vital to understand where they are coming from with everything they do.  I know this is about 2+ weeks after Dreamforce and this is in three parts but…..

Enterprises must change or die, says Benioff

Enterprises must change or die, says Benioff

By Phil Wainewright on September 14, 2011

We’ve heard this message before from Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff, of course, but it was delivered with some especially gruesome imagery in a Q&A session with media and analysts at Cloudforce London today. Answering a question about companies that don’t embrace Salesforce.com’s message of the social enterprise, Benioff warned: “They’re not going to be around […]

Our Work is Done Here, Right?

Our Work is Done Here, Right?

By Denis Pombriant on September 14, 2011

The recently concluded Dreamforce conference in San Francisco might have been the most successful CRM conference ever.  That’s not hyperbole.  I have been at some major events in the last ten years that rival this year’s Dreamforce.  For instance, whenever Siebel had a user conference that was also major.  But a lot has happened since […]

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 […]

Converging on the Social Enterprise

Converging on the Social Enterprise

By Dion Hinchcliffe on September 8, 2011

I was in San Francisco last week for Dreamforce, the yearly confab for Salesforce that has had a major focus on social business the last couple of years. There’s little doubt that Marc Benioff clearly sees the very near future of business, and it’s something he calls the social enterprise. While you can read my […]

The End of Constraints – Why Business Apps Must Be Rethought

By Brian Sommer on September 7, 2011

I had a nice conversation with Donald Fischer at Typesafe at DreamForce 2011, the annual Salesforce.com event. Donald’s the CEO of a firm whose software takes advantage of the multi-core capabilities of modern computers. While his solution is a hit with academics and Java developers, it really presages a number of changes that will likely […]
