Salesforce.com Plays In the Enterprise - Again

Thoughts from a Sage ERP/CRM business partner: If Salesforce did it once with CRM, then who is to say that they
can't do it again with accounting. I'm not counting them out.

At this point FinaincalForce is strictly a financial accounting
package. Sage, Microsoft, and Intuit all have established
modules that are tried and true (for the most part). It will be
interesting to see is how Salesforce's applications for order management, Inventory, manufacturing etc... integrate to
FinancialForce. Will FinaincalForce develop their own
applications that integrate?

On the other hand what Salesforce has is the cloud Platform. So it will
be interesting to see if the other ERP providers rush to develop
one of their own, rent one, or do nothing at all..

Only time will tell.. Your guess is as good as mine, but as Sage Select
partner I might have to start weighing my options.. it's never
good to have all your eggs in one basket (especially when that
basket doesn't market!!); Posted by: bchurch17 Posted on: 10/08/09 (Edited: 10/08/2009 @ 07:41) You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
