Salesforce & Google: the Future Awaits
As announced at Dreamforce, Salesforce and Google have formed a global strategic partnership. While major news at Dreamforce, it's too early on to understand how significant this partnership will be (I captured the upper graphic in the slide during the main keynote). As is often the case with mega company partnerships (think Cisco and Apple), the real work just begins at announcement time. The integrations highlighted below show the possibilities, while what will really happen remains to be seen -- likely several months to a year from now.
Those of us hoping for more details from an hour-long fireside chat between Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and Google Cloud CEO Diane Greene left disappointed. The two talked a lot about how they met and how much they like each other, but shared no new product or marketing information. Stay tuned, I guess.
