Salesforce Enters Custom Application Market ("potentially game ending for...a slew of startups")
- pg 19y agoI don't think salesforce is a threat to a lot of startups. Maybe to other big companies, but startups should be able to outhack them.
- mattculbreth 19y agoI agree with that, especially having used their somewhat kludgy product. The interesting thing though about this is that it's a platform for other startups to use. An infrastructure really. Seems directly up against startups like Coghead.
- limeade 19y agoPeople ought to stop saying "game ending" all the time. It's turned into a cliche.
- eusman 19y agophrases like game ending for startups indicate anger and envy
- projectileboy 19y agoYeah, I've never heard anyone promise this before. Ever. This is truly brand new.
- papersmith 19y agoI always wondered how some software companies can get established names to test their beta software in production environment. For all I know, managers at big companies are rather conservative about their choice of tools. Does anyone know how this usually works? Do they send sales people to convince the managers? Do they pay the testers, or is it the other way around?
- michaelneale 19y agoI think in most cases companies are willing to trial things in some cases (as long as their risk isn't too much of a problem, or perhaps the gain potential is worth it). So even big bad conservative ones will take a risk occasionally, take a chance on a new player.
