Takeaways: Salesforce World Tour NYC 2019

Our team had a remarkably engaging day at the SalesForce World Tour event in NYC this past week. Amidst over 8,000 attendees, the potential to hear from customers, prospects, colleagues, and partners on how they leverage the platform to enhance their business made for an incredible day. Here are some takeaways that resonated with our team.

“I’m always impressed with the evolution of the Salesforce platform and its focus on the customer ecosystem (Customer 360) approach. In particular, at this year’s Salesforce World Tour NYC I found the new Manufacturing Cloud offerings very compelling for — aligning sales, operations, and suppliers to optimize end-to-end operations and transparency. Marketplace plug-ins from math-heavy analytics solutions will be attractive, as will the ability for logistics provider data to fit into the new open-source Cloud Information Model (CIM) to ease cloud platform integration. These are significant capabilities that industries like Manufacturing and Supply Chain have not historically had ready-access to, and we look forward to helping our customers leverage these capabilities.”

-Micheal Simon, Chief Operating Officer.

“One of the most impactful discussions had was the 1–1–1 model talked about in Parker Harris’s, the CTO’s, keynote on how they have grown and adapted as a company over the past 20 years. The 1–1–1 Pledge model — Encourages companies to dedicate 1% time, 1% product, and 1% profit and/or 1% equity to improve the state of the world. I could not help to think to myself why all companies are not thinking this way.”

-Derek Riddle — Business & IT Practice Lead.

“The user experience in Salesforce products has transformed so much throughout the years. What was previously a hard product to use is now, in my mind, one of the most streamlined in the industry.”

-Cory Kazar — Director Of Marketing And Business Development.

We’ll be at another World Tour stop in 2020. We look forward to connecting with you there!
