The Enterprise Cloud:

Immediate. Urgent. Inevitable.

InformationWeek reports that Census CIO Brian

McGrath sees promise in cloud offerings, but he is

taking things slowly. The first use of cloud-based

offerings for the bureau was using a contacts

database from salesforce.com. The bureau has a

database of 170,000 partners that had been initially

planned to be hosted in house. However, problems

with the contract forced an alternative solution.

Salesforce.com was the alternative solution and the

database was rolled out in six weeks. Compared to

the months or years that the average government IT

project requires for deployment, the salesforce.com

database was deployed shockingly fast.

Single-Tenant vs. Multi-Tenant Architecture

Single tenancy gives each customer a

dedicated software stack – and each layer

in each stack still requires configuration,

monitoring, upgrades, security updates,

patches, tuning and disaster recovery.

On a multi-tenant platform, all applications

run in a single logical environment: faster,

more secure, more available, automatically

upgraded and maintained. Any improvement

appears to all customers at once.

What VMforce Means to…

Real-World Results: Financial Services

� The Phoenix Companies sought a new CRM solution with flexibility, ease of use,

mobile accessibility, low-cost modification capabilities, minimal user training

requirements, and simplified integration with other apps.

� Changeover to Salesforce CRM took less than two months. Working with

salesforce.com partner OKERE (now part of Fujitsu Consulting), Phoenix used the

Force.com platform to create customizations for contracts and underwriting.

� Using the Force.com API, Phoenix integrated several legacy systems with

Salesforce CRM to provide consolidated, real-time access to information.

� The Salesforce CRM implementation cost the company less than one-fourth of the

project’s original budget.

� By streamlining communication between field and inside sales within Salesforce

CRM, Phoenix has reduced phone and email inefficiencies, boosted productivity,

and, in 2005, increased life insurance sales by more than 33%.

� Following its upgrade to Salesforce CRM Unlimited Edition, Phoenix achieved 96%

user adoption.

Real-World Results: Professional Services

� Animators at Law, a leading provider of litigation graphics, litigation consulting &

litigation technology for many of the largest law firms, pioneered a unique system

for identifying the litigation activities of law firms and corporations and wanted to

make the data available to third parties through a subscription-based service.

� In just a few months – with no added development staff – the team created

LawProspector, the first comprehensive sales lead and litigation market

intelligence tool. The application, built on the Force.com platform, integrates with

Salesforce CRM Enterprise Edition and Salesforce CRM Partner Networks.

� LawProspector is integrated with applications from the Force.com AppExchange.

LinkedIn for Salesforce, enables users to access LinkedIn information directly

from Salesforce CRM contact and account records, and Account News Feed

powered by Google News displays relevant news items from Google alongside

Salesforce CRM records.

Real-World Results: Green Manufacturing

� Vetrazzo, a leader in the rapidly growing market of recycled glass countertops,

required an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system it could customize to

handle its unique manufacturing processes. The eco-friendly small business

lacked the budget and personnel required to purchase and implement a

traditional on-premise ERP system.

� Without an IT department, executives wanted to avoid having to purchase and

manage hardware infrastructure. The company needed a Web-based solution

for its national staff that could handle anticipated growth.

� With the help of salesforce.com partner The Claiborne Company, Vetrazzo

expanded on a prototype to build an ERP system customized to fit its specific

business processes. The company’s custom apps include Customer Service and

Order Management; Finished Goods Inventory Management; Production

Planning and Scheduling; Raw Materials Management; Shipping and Logistics;

Document Management, and Warranty Management.

� Planned integration with Quickbooks will tie in financials.

What Should Drive Your New Initiatives?

� Goals:

– Collaboration

– Creation

– Knowledge Identification

– Talent Motivation/Retention

� Methods

– Knowledge Engineering

– Peer Tagging/Rating

– Networking

– Publication

� Conventional IT model front-loads

capital spending on infrastructure

– Debt service and depreciation charges

persist despite business contractions

– Future capacity must either be bought in advance,

or added later at higher cost with substantial

business disruption

� The cloud enables preparation for upturn

– New systems can be built and tested with negligible

up-front investment

– Resulting systems can be rapidly scaled to respond to

improving conditions

– "It has been our repeated experience that business

uncertainty is inevitably accompanied by opportunity“

(Jack Welch, Letter to GE Shareholders, 1997)

Clouds Put IT Spending Back in Balance

� Don’t think of the cloud as technology

• Virtualization

• Metadata customization

• Multi-tenancy

• 4G wireless

• SOA

– These are enablers, not guarantors

� Think of the cloud as a commitment

– Negligible up-front capital

– Alignment of cost with value

– Maximal stakeholder engagement

Clouds Put IT Spending Back in Balance

Best Practices and Pitfalls

• Adopting the Cloud does not mean starting over

• Retain what’s working: innovate and add value at Web speed

• Don’t settle for the least unsatisfactory solution:

treat the Cloud as a supermarket of services

• Preserving familiar pain is not a measure of success

• Moving existing complexity into the Cloud avoids short-term pain

• Mastering new developer models is a high-return investment

• Don’t apologize for doing what made sense two years ago

• Bandwidth has grown

• Customizability has grown

• Costs of doing things the old way are skyrocketing

• Don’t mistake the consumer Web for the enterprise cloud

• Expect high availability; robust security; deep customizability

• Demand clear commitments on data ownership and protection
