Can't wait until a 'mayday' type support button becomes as universal as a power button on every device.

Yah but if most support orgs can't answer the phone when you call them up -- how will they answer 50 Billion devices.

Farah Remtulla Or building proactive systems that limit the need for its use. Demand & Capacity Management become as essential as Incident Management.

simplification is the key to making it work..

I have to admin @serviceNOW has great product #transformIT great tie in to @salesforce client base

Salesforce tries to be like Oracle but do you think that they are innovating or just extending their market?

studentforce

definitely innovating and don't believe they are trying to be anything but salesforce

John Furrier SF wants to be like Oracle and when they got kicked out of #oow two years ago @benioff went ballistic but now the market is shifting to modern era not old way

R Ray Wang

MyPOV: i think it's very different than @oracle. @salesforce is leading and evangelizing while @oracle has a hard time showing market leadership.

I do not recall @Benioff and @Parker_Harris together on stage for such a long interactive time - good to see?

These guys are having fun but awkward to watch

joshkimber Well said. This is weird. We're 75 minutes into the keynote and I've learned nothing new.

Jim Berkowitz

It's like watching Abbot & Costello

John Furrier @PlatenReport I wasn't taking cheap shot meant to highlight at @sapphirenow they focused on sports vs what sf is doing here.. @sap is very strong in verticals

@PlatenReport https://twitter.com/PlatenReport/status/402855244536627200

PlatenReport

@furrier @Maksim That's a cheap shot at SAP they are doing great work within Healthcare and other good works including supporting charities

@benioff is solid he is up there for the flair for sure but Tucci is the "Don" will take over his neighborhood while he's out partying; Ellison gets the "rackets", Welch runs the bank, Page runs the public works, Whitman is major, Schmidt run PR

John Furrier2

I am still sitting here thinking what is being announced for technology and innovation? All high level fluff so far

Kati Dahm

the GPS enabled toothbrush would have been a good announcement

Holger Mueller

Yes - same here - one hour - phiilantrophy, Haiti, Teslas, Huey - you wonder...

John Furrier I wonder if this the best they got

Tim Crawford

Agreed. Limited value, but being propped up quite a bit.

Tim Crawford

Wonder if they are running out of gas internally and looking for partners/ ecosystem for future growth.

John Furrier #AWS is killing everyone..lots of deck chairs being rearranged in many incumbents ..

Tim Crawford @salesforce is changing to more of an incumbent than an innovator/ disruptor.
