The Magic at DreamForce 2012

The Magic at DreamForce 2012

By Dave Michels on September 27, 2012

Dreamforce is an impressive conference, though I have never actually attended one. At least not in person, I always make it a point to watch the posted videos as the show has some truly impressive content. This year there was decidedly less video posted, I think the CMOs that get featured are increasingly restricting their […]

Dreamforce 2012: Betting On Social Enterprise

Dreamforce 2012: Betting On Social Enterprise

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 24, 2012

Dreamforce 2012 was held last week at San Francisco with large number of attendees from all over the world. If the conference numbers are any indication of market performance, Salesforce is giving a tough fight to Oracle but they rarely indicate anything significant other than showing enthusiasm among their users. With master showman Marc Benioff […]

Salesforce Becomes the First Next Generation Enterprise Platform

Salesforce Becomes the First Next Generation Enterprise Platform

By Ben Kepes on September 19, 2012

Strong words but, as I predicted, the announcements at this years DreamForce point to Salesforce firmly creating for itself the position of first true IT platform of the cloud era – that’s a lofty statement but a justified one I believe. From the release, here are the announcements:

Box Counters Salesforce Smackdown

By Ben Kepes on September 18, 2012

At TechCrunch Disrupt last week, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff leaked his own company’s news of a new content collaboration and sharing service dubbed ChatterBox. I’ve actually known about the product for a month or so, my sources who told me of its initial existence said that it was a direct

Dataloader.io Provides Easy Salesforce Migration

By Ben Kepes on September 13, 2012

One of the great untold barriers to actually moving to the cloud is the not insignificant pain that organizations feel when migrating their data from an existing system of record to a cloud solution. This is especially the case when the solution is both an integral part of the organization’s

By Adron Hall on September 7, 2012

Salesforce Unveils Government Cloud

Salesforce Unveils Government Cloud

By Krishnan Subramanian on April 25, 2012

US Federal government is one of the largest IT buyers in the world and this clout gives them to dictate terms with the vendors and suppliers. One of their requirements is that the technologies the government agencies use must be compliant to Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) requirements. In simplistic terms, the services offered by […]

The Social Revolution Has Just Begun

The Social Revolution Has Just Begun

By John Taschek on January 4, 2012

Depending on whom you ask, 2011 was either the year of the iPad or the year of social. The truth is that they were and are equally weighted because they are catalysts for each other, and while each can exist without the other, imagining such a thing is like trying to imagine a world where […]

As the year 2011 is winding down, I am seeing few trends in enterprise software which might generate quite a bit of discussion among the pundits next year.

The Social Revolution

The Social Revolution

By Ben Kepes on November 16, 2011

I generally don’t go in for the hand waving around social for business. While I’m a proponent of social, I like to see proof before I announce the revolution. There’s nothing I hate more than the social media gurus who seem to want to pigeon-hole organizations into standards tools and

Dreamforce 2011: Salesforce Not Only Matures But Has Plans For Enterprise Domination

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 6, 2011

Last week I attended Dreamforce 2011, Salesforce’s (previous CloudAve coverage) annual user conference which exceeded 40K attendees this year, and the blogosphere is already filled with Dreamforce posts. I am adding one more to the mix and I want to apologize straight away for my contribution to the echo chamber. I will try my best […]
