I don't understand how anyone can stand that crap. Like what kind of person sees statements like the ones you quoted and thinks it's a good thing?

- sidlls 5y agoPeople who are paid to write it and their managers.
- elevatortrim 5y agoI thought op made those quotes up and found it hillarious. Then saw they were actual quotes.
- dylan604 5y agoI almost wish I was "clever" or "creative" enough to make up quotes like these, but then I realized in order to do that I'd just be another one of those PR asshole types. I'd rather just not exist than be that. I mean, seriously, WTF is a "single source of truth"?
- duped 5y ago"Single source of truth" is pretty standard jargon in enterprises, at least ime. It refers to the fact that as an organization grows, the same information might be stored in different places in mutually incompatible ways. Ideally you want information to flow from one place that is your "single source of truth" so all systems agree on what data is correct. Otherwise you'll get systems that disagree, which is expensive to mitigate. Salesforce is powerful because they centralize data collected from customer interactions like sales, they're the single source of truth for everything you want to know about your customers (which if you think about it is the most important thing to any business). Integrating chat with slack is an obvious move in that direction, since many people use slack as their primary customer interaction channel these days.
