Melissa Di Donato, head of European Channels & ISV Programs at Salesforce.com says that a connected environment would mean connected sales teams, digital sales aids and an integrated customer platform as part of the broader pattern. “The world has gone social with 2.3 billion social users, but companies are building their own social networks in the form of communities,” and channels would need to adapt to this.

“Cloud offers us not just a different way of using technology, but a new way for customers to buy, customers look to us to offer a new way to buy. Internet of Things is a way of communicating and connecting; we are now in the era of billions of connected devices,” she said at the European Software and Solutions Summit on March 25 in London.

“Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff gave us this quote not so long ago: ‘The Internet of Things is ground zero for this new phase of global transformation, powered by technology innovation.’ What this is going to do is generate significant change, economically to our society, and both the way we deliver and buy solutions.”
