Does your event inspire Jukebox Heroes?

Does your event inspire Jukebox Heroes?

By Vinnie Mirchandani on December 5, 2012

The Foreigner hit tells the story of a fan who could not get into a show,  but even standing outside in the rain, was so inspired by the music that he bought a used guitar the next morning and went on to become a rock star. Does your event aspire to create similar Jukebox heroes? […]

Is Salesforce the new Oracle? Does it matter?

Is Salesforce the new Oracle? Does it matter?

By Phil Wainewright on October 29, 2012

Early in its history, Oracle started out as a fast-growing database start-up, becoming a case study in Geoffrey Moore’s classic Silicon Valley entrepreneur’s textbook, Crossing the Chasm. It was only later that it added an enterprise application stack and assorted platform components to eventually become the ungainly behemoth we know today. Is Salesforce.com following a similar […]

Takeaways from Cloudforce, and a Bit More

By Denis Pombriant on October 22, 2012

At Cloudforce, New York last Friday, we heard a smattering of things we also got at Dreamforce.  That was part of the plan because Salesforce bills its regional events as a chance to bring Dreamforce to the customer.  As proof I heard that Marc Benioff and crew are off to Japan this week to do […]

Dreamforce 2012: Dream A Little Dream of (with) Me: Part 2

Dreamforce 2012: Dream A Little Dream of (with) Me: Part 2

By Paul Greenberg on October 18, 2012

In Part 1, I looked at salesforce.com, Marc Benioff and their vision as salesforce’s greatest asset. Here, within that context, I’m looking at the products and the technology ecosystem. As compelling as it is, there is a lot to be done yet.

Dreamforce 2012: Dream a Little Dream of (with) Me: Part 1

By Paul Greenberg on October 11, 2012

Dreamforce 2012, a.k.a. Dreamforce X, the annual nodal point and Hollywood(like) bash run by salesforce.com was bigger and better this year than ever. Thing is, that isn’t just a comment on its coolness – though it was that, without any doubt at all. W…

Nothing Stops the Box Bunny

Nothing Stops the Box Bunny

By Zoli Erdos on October 7, 2012

OK, so I ‘m abandoning my pictorial post schedule, as Box-mania just broke out, and I feel compelled to jump in.  But the skipped  NetSuite post is coming soon… I’ve been following Box longer than probably most observers and some of the old memories are worth sharing – from an admittedly subjective point of view. […]

A Pictorial Tale of Two Conferences (and more)

A Pictorial Tale of Two Conferences (and more)

By Zoli Erdos on October 3, 2012

Recently I’ve attended two conferences two weeks apart in San Francisco, and the difference in style is shocking.  One did not even feel like a conference, rather a Festival – Woodstock, Mardi Gras, SXSW – your pick:-)  The other a decidedly more “closed” traditional corporate conference, so much so, that fellow commentators actually compared it […]

Benioff’s 2013 (NOT 2012) DreamForce Day 1 & 2 Keynote

Benioff’s 2013 (NOT 2012) DreamForce Day 1 & 2 Keynote

By Brian Sommer on October 1, 2012

Marc Benioff is a great showman, salesman and speaker. His annual show, Salesforce.com’s DreamForce, has become the show to attend for application software buyers globally. Last week’s event was a high-energy affair chock full of product announcements, glowing customer testimonials and more. Marc’s keynote often sets the standard for what other vendors’ user conferences should aspire […]

Salesforce.com, Enterprise Platforms, and the End of the End of Software

Salesforce.com, Enterprise Platforms, and the End of the End of Software

By Josh Greenbaum on September 28, 2012

Do all companies build refrigerators when their product sets get too complex? That was the question I was asking myself as I sat in the audience during the partner keynote at Dreamforce last week, as a slide showing off the different parts of the company’s SaaS platform hove into view. Memories of SAP’s NetWeaver danced in my […]
