Salesforce.com, Consumerization, Social Media and Open Source Strategy

bwoelkers — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 22:39:06 +0000

Salesforce.com is clearly more than a CRM company. As Paul Greenberg on ZDNet points out in his recent article, salesforce understands that workplace and personal time are not too different. What matters are the user experience and building larger communities of business users and application developers. This speaks to initiatives such as Chatter for collaboration and the recent acquisition of Heroku the open source Ruby on Rails company.

Positioning salesforce as more than a CRM company is obviously good for product differentiation. Focusing on the “Consumerization” of the workplace will help adoption by making it a seamless experience from social life. Heroku the open source company was purchased for $212 million opening the gates to a vast community of developers that will help salesforce say with even greater confidence “there’s an app for that”.

Google vs. FaceBook

bwoelkers — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 14:24:53 +0000

Many believe that FaceBook is a significant threat to Google. It is predicted that FaceBook will earn $1B in 2010. Google has revenues of over $26B. There is an obviously huge disparity there. FaceBook has 500,000,000 active users. What Google has is a more solid foundation (code and biz model) for business. This is more than ‘just users’.

Adwords will grow organically because of support through business apps such as Google Apps, Android and its growing ecosystem, YouTube and Google Earth. There is even tight integration with salesforce.com. Why Google has not purchased Salesforce is an open question for months if not years. While Google has business and monetization at its core, FaceBook is trying to morph into a more business/ sales model. The bottom line seems to be that Google because of reasons mentioned and its deep pockets is a freight train that is impossible to stop; at least for the foreseeable future.

Private Cloud

bwoelkers — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 20:27:29 +0000

Some enterprise organizations such as Morgan Stanley are building Private Clouds. What is the reason? In their view, Public Clouds still have security and reliability concerns. While addressing some needs of how employees work, Private Clouds will have significant costs affiliated with their development, deployment and support. Companies replacing (or augmenting) legacy systems with Private Clouds are substituting one high cost solution with another. There are more than higher costs at stake for these deployments.

These organizations instead of focusing on innovation that is core to their business are spending valuable resources on building-out technology. This is akin to reinventing the wheel, over and over.

As the web, customer, partner, and vendor engagement methods evolve so must technology change. Therefore continued investment in Private Clouds is an unsustainable model.
