Safe Harbor
In Other Words:
Everything That You See Here is Real
Cloud Platforms Are Driving Innovation
The Social Divide – Customers and Companies
What about Your Company?
Your customers and employees are social.
The Market’s Map Is Drawn By Social Connections (Arcs Represent Number • Distance of Facebook ‘Friend’ Links)
Pop quiz: where is Beijing?
‘Social’ ≠ ‘Distracted’ § ‘Social’ is a set of behaviors
– Aware of context
– Shaped by interests
– Driven by events
§ All Force.com applications are socially enabled by Chatter – Old apps added new behaviors – Social behaviors pervasive,
not isolated in social silo
– Automation → scalability
§ Collaborative process creation & maintenance
§ Best practice sharing
§ Integration with feeds and other social channels
§ Social process monitoring
Steve Wood. Great – I can help with the case escalation by linking in the Apple Escalation Process.
New process created: iPad Tier 1 Support Process (Goals: Run time, 5 min)
Andrew Leigh. I need to create a new customer service process for the iPad, can you guys help?
Varadarajan Rajaram. Yes, I know this product well – there are a bunch of solutions I can build into this process.
Because ‘social’ is a model, not an app

Cloud Objections Are Being Addressed
§ Security: American Bankers Association blog says an enterprise should “verify that any outsourcing partner meets its standards. However, once
verified, a cloud partner can actually provide greater security.”
§ Availability: – Salesforce.com now routinely exceeding 700M transactions/day
– Recent reporting periods have achieved as high as 100% of planned availability
§ Compliance: United States’ National Institute of Standards and Technology says cloud-resident data “can be more available, faster to restore, and more reliable… [and] less of a risk than having data dispersed on portable computers or removable media.”
Cloud Upsides Are Now Overwhelming
§ Innovation: – Old: When Windows XP was 10 years old, it ran almost half of the world’s PCs
– New: In time between Win 7 and SP1, Force.com had six upgrades
§ Collaboration: – Organizations adopting Chatter routinely see 30%+ reduction of email – When people are given a choice, they choose the social model
§ Competitive Advantage: McKinsey Global Institute finds that – “fully networked enterprises…[use] collaborative Web 2.0 technologies intensively
to connect the internal efforts of employees and to extend the organization’s reach to customers, partners, and suppliers”
– “[they] are not only more likely to be…gaining market share, but also to use management practices that lead to higher margins [compared to] companies using the Web in more limited ways.”
§ ‘Cloud’ only hints at what you don’t need to do – ‘Social’ describes what your workers and customers want – ‘Mobile’ describes what they need – ‘Open’ describes the freedom to do it the way that works for them
§ Cost reduction is not the path to leadership – Cloud models make it easier to match IT costs against business tasks
– Superior ROI, and compelling improvement in time-to-market, change the terms of debate surrounding IT investments and resources
§ The job of the ‘IT professional’ is changing – Integrator of services, rather than buyer and operator of technologies
– Instigator and manager of innovative tools and processes
– Enabler and custodian of relationships and insights
