Funny. Users aren't asking for OLE by name it's true, but there's a multibillion dollar integration industry out there. Consultants wiring up Salesforce into dozens of apps, plugin ecosystems, Zapier, the list is massive.
Users are SCREAMING at the top of their lungs for this.
- mike_hearn 2y agoOLE was a fully local technology though. Stuff like Zapier is more about pulling data from different APIs, I thought?
- arcbyte 2y agoIt is, but the users don't care. They want a spreadsheet with updated data from Salesforce combined with info from Servicenow and some stock tickers. Local, web, punchcards, the user does not care. Today there's a mess of Google Sheets with data pulled in from Zapier, but it's no difference to the user if it's Excel with OLE interfaces from local programs.
