O'Reilly Network -- An Introduction to Salesforce.com's AppExchange by Tony Stubblebine 11/13/2006 This is part one of a three-part series on how to build and distribute applications on Salesforce's AppExchange. I attended Salesforce's Dreamforce conference last month because I'd heard that Salesforce has been making a big effort to build a platform that was friendly to developers. Two main things set Salesforce apart from other companies building development platforms. This series of articles will show you how to build and distribute an application on AppExchange. What Is Salesforce.com? If you're not in sales, you might not even know what Salesforce.com does or even what Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is. The interesting point from a developer's perspective is that the underlying technology is based around database concepts, with default actions and views. This infrastructure has been flexible enough to allow Salesforce to branch out into other business applications like marketing and customer support. Signing Up Click for a larger view.

A Mac-user's Salesforce.com survival tools - Download Squad If you work in the Fortune 1000, chances are pretty good that you've dealt with Salesforce.com, the web-based Customer Relationship Management service that has exploded in popularity over the last year or so. Salesforce.com provides a (very useful) plug-in for synchronizing Outlook contacts, tasks, and e-mails with the web site's database for reporting and federation... Which makes Salesforce.com a dream for Windows Office users. But if you have a Macbook under your arm, you probably aren't using Outlook. The first of these is a great utility called SF3 from Pocket Soap. Pocket Soap also makes Maildrop--a script for Apple Mail and Microsoft Entourage that will copy messages to Salesforce.com--very handy. Tags: crm, mac, salesforce, salesforce.com, shareware
Salesforce.com ne possède que 3000 serveurs [Photo : Bloomberg] Le géant de l’informatique en nuages Salesforce.com n’utiliserait que 3 000 serveurs. C’est du moins le chiffre lancé par Peter Coffee, directeur de la recherche pour la plateforme de l’entreprise, de passage à Montréal le 7 avril dernier. Valorisée à pas moins de 17,4 milliards dollars, l’entreprise ne dessert pas moins que 92 300 clients répartis un peu partout dans le monde. Les serveurs de Salesforce.com, dont l’application infonuagique de gestion des relations avec la clientèle et la plateforme de développement Force.com sont très populaires auprès des PME, sont ainsi un poste de dépense négligeable pour l’entreprise. Pire encore, les joueurs les plus gourmands de l’industrie, comme Google et Facebook, construisent eux-mêmes leurs propres serveurs.
Hiring Like It's 1999 Michael De Frenza scans the crowd of 50 or so well-dressed professionals mingling near a bar at the W Hotel in San Francisco’s South of Market District. De Frenza, a recent transplant to the Bay Area, is here in search not of a date—but of a job. In the five weeks since De Frenza, 34, returned to the area after a two-year stint in Toronto, he has received five offers. “I’m taking my time trying to find the right fit,” he says. I Love Rewards, which provides companies with services to motivate employees, arranges cocktail parties like this one every other week at the W Hotel to help it recruit 40 people by Sept. 30 for a new West Coast sales outpost. Competition for cloud computing engineers, security experts, and mobile developers as well as sales professionals in the technology industry has gotten so fierce in the past six months that companies are going to greater lengths to woo prospective employees. Companies are employing a variety of strategies to attract talent.

Salesforce Promotes EVP Of Marketing George Hu To COO Enterprise CRM giant Salesforce.com is getting a COO today. The company is announcing that it is promoting George Hu to Chief Operating Officer. Hu previously held the title of Executive Vice President, Platform, Marketing, and Operations and will continue to report to Chairman and CEO Marc Benioff in his new role. Hu joined Salesforce.com in 2002 and served as vice president of product marketing, senior vice president of applications, executive vice president of products, and chief marketing officer prior to joining the executive team in his most recent role. Previously, Hu held product management and strategic consulting roles at North Point Communications and Boston Consulting Group. Salesforce actually didn’t have a COO previously, so Hu isn’t filling anyone else’s shoes. “George’s leadership over the past nine years has been key to driving salesforce.com’s growth to over a $2B run rate,” said Benioff in a statement.
