Small Businesses: Your World Just Changed

Filed under: CRM for Small Companies, SaaS / On-Demand, Small Business Development — Jeff Sinatra @ 10:55 am

As a small business owner, your world changed today.  Your life got easier.  Your ability to manage information, processes, and customer relationships just became seamless. 

Today, Salesforce.com (the leading on-demand Customer Relationship Management application) and Google just announced a strategic partnership.  I’ve been writing about “software-as-a-service” almost since the beginning of this industry.  I’ve seen first hand how these applications, which are delivered via the Internet, have transformed companies.   

While the industry has been slow to develop due to security issues, when Google announced their Google Apps solution it gave the industry a shot in the arm.  Since then, the momentum has been building (since August Salesforce stock is up over 50%).  The synergy between these two apps are amazing:

 

Seeing these different applications work in concert is nothing short of amazing, but knowing that all this can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection is fantastic.  Now, anyone within a company can have access to all critical data at any time from anywhere, even via wireless devices.

Today, the world of business changed.  While the effect may not be felt for years to come, today is historic.   Visit salesforce.com at 3:00 ET today to see the full announcement
