Macs at One Market?
A rumor is bouncing around that Salesforce.com Corporation is thinking about switching from Dell to Apple for all their desktops. Seems a bit far-fetched to me, but not impossible.
I think it’s far fetched because power users of Salesforce rely heavily on three things:
- Awesome utility from a MS Outlook inegration
- Dynamic spreadsheets with MS Excel integration
- Mail merge integration with MS Word
I can’t believe that Salesforce.com would tell it’s staff that these tools will no longer work for them.
If this rumor is true, and not just a way for Marc to negotiate a better deal with Michael, look for:
- Integration with Thunderbird to get real–Steven has been doing this project in his spare time
- Mail.app integration may ge beyond what Simon has built for his own use
- Mail merge integration with Google Docs or Mac Word
- Dynamic reports in Mac Excel–google spreadsheets just aren’t powerful enough yet
