Santa Clara User Group Meeting: June 17th

May 21, 2008

I just noticed the Santa Clara User Group will be having our friends from Lucid Era in to present as well as a great guy you should all get to know name Sean Whitely from Salesforce. Sean was the man who created the Google Adwords integration and later sold his company to Salesforce.com. Last time I saw him was at Dreamforce 2007 at the Google after party, telling stories about his former boss…fun times..

Salesforce.com integration webinar: CODA Financials

April 23, 2008

Hear from CODA Financials and salesforce.com about CODA 2go, the new on-demand accounting application, and how they plan to break SaaS into the finance department.

At Dreamforce Europe on May 7th, international finance system specialist CODA Financials, and salesforce.com are launching the first on-demand enterprise accounting system built entirely on Force.com. Jeremy Roche, CEO of CODA and Polly Sumner, salesforce.com president of platform, alliances, and services are giving a preview presentation to demonstrate the product and to discuss its go to market strategy and the future of SaaS.

May 6th @ 9:00 am PT/12:00 p m ET.

The preview webinar will last approximately 40 minutes plus Q&A and will consist of:

· Introduction and demonstration of the new software

· CODA’s experiences developing on Force.com

· CODA 2go features and benefits

We believe CODA 2go will be the most functionally advanced on-demand accounting application available:

- Built and run entirely on Force.com, the salesforce.com Platform as a Service.
- Fully integrated with salesforce.com’s CRM suite
- The biggest development project undertaken on the Force.com to date
- First traditional software developer to launch SaaS offering run on salesforce.com
- CODA has developed functionality in months that would have taken years if built from scratch
- Industry-leading performance and availability, global scale, multi-tenancy and security

CODA believes CODA 2go is more advanced than any on-demand financial apps currently available and that it can do for finance what salesforce.com has done for CRM.

Please register your attendance at the webinar (Editor’s note - I had disable the link as it was not working properly - I will update this post as soon as the I get a hold of the correct link.) and you will be sent joining details in advance.
