It’s interesting to see how they use so many duplicative tools. From CDN, transactional mail, eSignature and more. I wonder why they don’t standardize in tool

I wonder why they don’t standardize in tools more.
- sytse 6y agoFor eSignature I speculated on Twitter https://twitter.com/sytses/status/1319360157113970688?s=21 https://twitter.com/sytses/status/1319360157113970688?s=21 For CDNs we switched from Fastly to Cloudflare because we needed support for SSH (port 22) And for email sending I think you want multiple providers so you have a hot one (already know on the internet to send a large volume of mail in your name) in cause a provider has problems with delivery.
- chevman 6y agoLot of consolidation opportunity in the marketing/email/CRM space. Could fairly easily collapse all of the following into your SFDC stack if you add their Marketing Cloud (fka ExactTarget) module: MailChimp MailGun Mandrill Marketo - basically a CRM like SFDC Outreach.io Sigstr - believe SFDC is building (or already has) similar functionality in their CRM SurveyMonkey & Qualtrics - both survey tools that you could consolidate or potentially migrate to built in SFDC/MC survey tools
- curiousllama 6y agoBecause it's hard, and there are more valuable things to do. Everyone above a certain size duplicates lots of stuff. There are entire consulting practices - big ones! - built just around helping companies standardize applications.
