Spreadsheets suffered a body blow on Tuesday, when Salesforce announced new platform functionality. Soon all spreadsheets will be good for is financial analysis. This sounds funny, because the spreadsheet for several decades has been the unofficial IT prototyping tool. Actually, it was the end-users’ prototyping tool — the default thing they used to capture data when IT was famously too busy maintaining tangled legacy systems. With Salesforce’s new tools, it’s now easier to build your prototype app than it is to build a spreadsheet.
It is painfully obvious that Denis is on the SalesForce payroll. Articles such as these do a disservice to those serious about providing open system solutions to customers. SalesForce is not in the business of providing open system type services to anyone let alone customers. It is 100% proprietary and as long as Companies fall for all this hype and extremely expensive prices... well, lets just say I'd love for my Company to compete with anyone who uses solutions that are overpriced and proprietary like SalesForce is. It really isn't that great of a platform either.
