And Now For Something Completely Different

There's been a change of plans. A redirection of focus. A modification of momentum.

After 25 plus years enveloped in the Microsoft ecosystem, I've decided to take a journey on a path previously untaken. I'm now a Solution Engineer for SalesForce.com in New York City.

This change will result in a change of direction for my blog posts here on LinkedIn. Once I'm past the learning phase at SalesForce, I foresee some topics including:

• Describing SalesForce Platform in context of the Microsoft world
• How to connect to Microsoft data sources on-premise and in the cloud
• How to connect SalesForce to the blockchain
• SalesForce's Data Science capabilities

For the uninitiated, the SalesForce platform allows companies and organizations to create cloud based applications with minimal coding. Not just CRM apps (though certainly that's a good place to start) but any application you can imagine. The SalesForce Platform is a giant database itself. You create objects (tables) and enter values into those objects. It's basically a walled garden that makes application development and data integration across multiple solutions much, much easier. And the interface to the user is much more consistent.
