Salesforce shows it’s Force

Salesforce has gotten inside out with Force.com, the platform that allows customers to run their Web sites using salesforce.com’s cloud services.

Force.com Sites gives customers the power to publish their Force.com data and applications to any Web site.

Think beyond CRM.  Build more apps.  Build better apps.  With less cost and less hassle.  Developers everywhere are using Force.com to build core business applications, like enterprise resource planning (ERP), human resource management (HRM) and supply chain management (SCM).  It’s the fastest way to get from idea to app.   It’s about more innovation and less infrastructure. It’s about running your business in the Cloud.

As somebody who has worked with SF team on product integration and also as a competition (with Siebel CRMOnDemand), let me say that this is something that’s very big. Force.com changes the entire notion of how enterprises look at integrating cloud services within their systems – from inside out to outside-in.

What’s your take on Force.com?

Microsoft recently launched it’s cloud platform, Azure and Marc Benioff says he doesn’t know how to pronounce Azure, and then adds ‘I don’t care’!

Is cloud getting crowded?

    1. Thats like a dream – wanna check out how easy/hard it is to change the look and feel though.
      What really excites me is their FB-SF integration. Enterprise creating FB apps and then managing the users inside SF – thats a killer.

    2. a2zapplications.com is India’s answer to Force.com. Salesforce has made transition from CRM to Force.com recently where a2zapps, after 2 years of extensive R&D work out of India’s capital, was launched in May this year as a true SaaS platform and with primary focus on India market. Since then, various industries have deployed solutions successfully on a2zapps platform for their ERP/CRM needs.
