Louis Columbus recently wrote an article for Business 2 Community that sings the praises of Salesforce and goes so far as to say that they are winning the cloud platform war.
For the past four years, he has been spending a lot of time in the developer area at Dreamforce to gain some insight into the future of Salesforce and watched tomorrow’s apps being coded today. He provides three four powerful reasons why Salesforce is leading the way way in the cloud space:
- Significant jump in the quantity and quality of developer attendees from 2010 to 2012
- Steady improvement to visual design tools, application development environment and support for jQuery, Sencha and Apache Cordova
- The steady maturation of Salesforce Touch as a mobile development platform and launch of Salesforce platform Mobile Services
- 2012: Rise of the Mobile Enterprise Developer
He goes on to say that:
The investments Salesforce.com has made in their cloud infrastructure over several years (and continue to make) has resulted in a platform that developers are leveraging to rapidly deliver enterprise applications that deliver world-class performance, reliability, and security.
Salesforce.com has emerged as a key platform provider for cloud computing services and we are pleased to be a partner of theirs.
