Questions for Everyone Cloud strategy
– Tell us a little about what you’re doing with Salesforce? Have you built any custom apps with
Force.com?
– How does cloud computing changed your IT architecture strategy?
– Have you set up any specific guidance for your developers around when to use Force.com or
other cloud options vs. on-premise development?
Integration
– What types of integration architectures are you using with Salesforce and how has cloud
computing changed your IT architecture with respect to integration?
Governance
– What type of governance processes have you set up with your Salesforce deployment? How do
you manage change?
– Force.com makes it easier for much less technical people to build custom applications. How have
you balanced the desire for more people in the organization to build apps or change apps with the
need for IT to centrally govern the apps
Mobile
– What about mobility. Are there some inherent benefits of cloud platforms when it comes to mobile
app deployment that you’ve taken advantage of?
Questions for Specific People
Raj: How do you architect for multiple cloud sources? You’ve integrated
Salesforce with Google apps… what advice can you share?
Joe from Dell: What do you think about integration middleware in the
cloud? You guys just bought Boomi, how do you see this new integration
architecture impacting current IT architectures.
Yeuk: How much of your IT portfolio have you been able to shift to the
cloud? What were the easiest choices and what are the hardest?
