Debunking Salesforce/Google Integration

[charlesoffenbacher]

lol this is hilariously bad. Try accessing this amazing application from any computer other than yours...

cloud ftw

hi Salmonmoose...we're not trying to be for everyone although tempworks offers a designed-for-mobile app that works on browsers on all the platforms you mention.

Also, Silverlight is making its way to those platforms as well.

Googleapps or 37signals might be right for you now....

I feel your pain. Google has the power to give away enough software services to put all of us small guys, and a lot of bigger guys, out of business. I am also a CEO of a small company that is getting clobbered by Google's anti-competitive practices and the fact that they are rich enough to buy the world a digital coke and the world likes it makes it impossible for us to compete. It's not enough to have a bad economy that but we also have monopolistic evil companies like Google to fight.

hi Raemike123

Google is getting almost zero traction with its google apps. There's plenty of market out there that remains under-served for companies like yours to take on. Keep the chin up!

Hi Tysonar1...i've tried quite a few video services...youtube works the best for me.

I would always be weary of vendors whose entire sales pitch is simply trying to discredit another. This type of sales pitch shows a serious inferiority complex.

He also mentioned nothing about the additional costs needed for an infrastructure to run this app. I'm sorry buddy but you might as well admit that the server client architecture is quickly dying out.

[greggdourgarian1]

tysonar1 u confuse client-server with wpf/wcf which is click-once install no infrastructure required...operates though the cloud just like a browser only has a great [windows] user interface. inferiority complex?...u must be talking about my golf game

[tysonar1]

Greg. Did you find the interface of Youtube difficult to use when creating this video? It's amazing the amount of people you can reach with the internet. I'm basically saying...don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

This guy dismisses Google Apps & Salesforce as legitimate apps simply because they're browser based. He calls their press release "disgusting" and uses words like "nonsense".

The web's the new platform for this type of aplication and his product looks like just another pedestrian offering tethered to the Microsoft desktop.

This CEO has no vision.

[greggdourgarian1]

it is nonsensensical to pay people to use a browser for an enterprise app all day long...and it was disgusting to see the press fawn over google ...pedestrian? Microsoft demos our stuff alongside Netflics and CNN. ...your one legitimate point is that it is tied to msft desktop

[salmonmoose]

Absolutely, I'm shopping around for CRM at the moment he lost me at "Windows Presentation Framework".

Too bad for the users who use OSX, Linux, or Mobile workspaces.

Sorry, as an Admin for a platform agnostic network, web delivered applications make far more sense.

Your product has a slick interface; however, I'm curious about its hardware requirements. Myself, I try not to participate, more than is necessary, in the I-bought-a-new-app-Now-I-need-­to-buy-a-new-PC paradigm.

But, then again, I also haven't finished my webpage.

Plus, Windows is already a GUI. What's the benefit of your flashier GUI on top of the already wobbly Windows GUI? What's the risk?

And my wife also wonders, "How gooey is it anyway?"

But keep working it, man. I'm impressed.

[greggdourgarian1]

thanks offcierge...we do keep working. too much fun to stop.

Personally, I favor these tools being available through a browser interface.

Having the flexibility to access my data from my PC at home, a mall kiosk, internet cafe, customer site, or wherever I might be is great!

I think the SFDC model makes a lot of sense, but it will be intersting to see where both of your applications are 1-2 years from now.

[greggdourgarian1]

darkessa...i'm with you on the flexibility...we have mobile/browser interfaces to the same database for that. good point tx
