Dreamforce Keynote – Chatter and the Platform

November 18, 2009 by David Schach Leave a Comment

There is no way to write one post to cover everything, so I want to address one thing that some people may not have noticed: Salesforce Chatter is being pushed as a platform layer. Looking at the “chiclet” slide that Marc Benioff unveiled, let’s start with the “old” slide: Yes, this is not the exact […]

Salesforce.com Releases “Chatter” – a first look

November 18, 2009 by David Schach Leave a Comment

The keynote hasn’t even started and already there is a lot of chatter on twitter and the web about salesforce.com’s new offering: Salesforce Chatter. In the Blog Pound, we were given books of Service Cloud success stories and chattering-teeth. The press packets were handed out, full of descriptions of Salesforce CRM’s new releases, all focused […]

Dreamforce 2009 Day 1: Prep

November 18, 2009 by David Schach Leave a Comment

Good morning, all! As Dreamforce is this week, I’ll be sharing more frequently, updating after every major session and sharing code and config tips picked up during the conference. Salesforce.com was kind enough to give me a Blogger pass, so I may have access to some interesting news; I’ll be sure to share it here. […]

SugarCRM: Shenanigans!

November 18, 2009 by David Schach 1 Comment

This morning I was greeted by this email from SugarCRM (actually two emails):

Dear David
Marc Benioff has a few zingers for SugarCRM in his new book Behind the Cloud:
“We knew that we had truly emerged as the market leader in the eyes of the industry when we arrived at Dreamforce 2006 to find that a handful of employees from a small CRM company had set up a mock protest outside the convention center. I’m not really sure what they were protesting, and it was a small, low-budget, and poorly executed rip-off of the types of tactics we had invented, but that wasn’t the point. The point was that we knew not to get ruffled.” - Page 65 of Behind the Cloud by Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO of Salesforce.com.
SugarCRM is sorry they disappointed Marc during their first visit to Dreamforce in 2006. Marc even challenged them to “step up the innovation”:
“We did not want this company to get free PR on our coattails! Ignoring this escapade worked well. A blogger asked a Dreamforce attendee if she had seen what was going on outside when she arrived, and she replied that it must have been some kind of Salesforce.com stunt. (Note: if you are going to compete with someone at his or her own game, always remember to step up the innovation.)” - Page 65 of “Behind the Cloud” by Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO of Salesforce.com
Marc was right. Game on.
In continuing its long love affair with the industry’s most down-to-earth CEO and its commitment to staging “small, low-budget, and poorly executed rip-off [tactics]”, SugarCRM is currently distributing 1,000 copies of “Behind the Smokescreen: The Untold Story of How Salesforce.com Still Manages to Sell 1999 technology 10 years later” at Dreamforce today.
With an endorsement from North Korean leader Kim Jong II (“A great guide for any entrepreneur, CEO, or Head of State looking to promote openness and freedom”), Behind the Smokescreen is a response to the magical Salesforce.com marketing that has transformed the company’s service from .com ASP to On-Demand SaaS to Cloud Computing without changing its architecture

[note: the version of this email from Chris Harrick of “The Sugar Team” says, “to Cloud Computing without being apple to run its service on Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure or other cloud services.” – Hey Chris, those are other platforms. Salesforce […]
