Salesforce 1

Salesforce 1 Signals Support For Digital Business at #DF13

 

Hello Friends,
You might have heard that Salesforce launched Salesforce 1.
So what is Salesforce 1? 
For that lets take a look at 2 terminologies.

  •    Internet of Things

  •    Internet of Customer

Internet of Things :
  • The Internet of Things (or IoT for short) refers to uniquely identifiable objects and their virtual representations in an internet-like structure.
  • For example, GE (General Electric) added sensor to its engines and wrote an app that tracks those engines. Info about those engines can be included in the Salesforce 1 app used by GE's employees.
      

  Internet of Customer :

  • Salesforce.com's Marc Benioff thinks he has a better way to look at IoT.
  • It's not about the things, it's about the people that buy them. He's introduced a new term, the  “Internet of Customer”.

 So after these two terminologies are understood, it's time to understand what is Salesforce 1.
