SEE HOW CLOUD FOR GOOD CAN HELP YOU CREATE MORE VALUE WITH SALESFORCE.
In case you weren’t able to attend Dreamforce, or if you were in attendance and missed seeing us, don’t worry! We’ve got pictures from our events and links to our sessions. Take a few minutes to relive some of the moments you most enjoyed and take a peek at some of ours.
The NPSP 3.0 is a set of managed packages installed on Salesforce to customize the platform for some common nonprofit use cases. It is the most current version of the Nonprofit Starter Pack, and it has some key improvements and new features compared to the previous version, the NPSP 2.0. A key feature of the NPSP 3.0 is that it automatically receives updates from the Salesforce Foundation, meaning that new functionality is added to your instance without needing to install new packages. Furthermore, the older NPSP packages are no longer supported by the Salesforce Foundation and no longer receive updates. Upgrading to the NPSP 3.0 means your package will remain current and as new features are released to improve the user experience, you will receive them!
Last week was Dreamforce, Salesforce’s annual customer conference, which basically takes over the city of San Francisco for a week of keynotes, educational sessions and parties. One of the highlights of this year’s conference was a focus on women in the technology industry, capping a major effort within Salesforce itself to recognize the company can do better to ensure more parity between the genders in terms of pay, promotion and overall job satisfaction. Similar efforts are underway in different parts of the technology sector, and within the Salesforce ecosystem as well (the Girly-Geeks, now known as Women in Tech, and Girl Force being two good examples of the latter). These efforts are definitely praiseworthy and in need of all of our support. There is another area of diversity, however, that also needs focus from all of us, on a global basis, and that is racial diversity.
Thursday was Product Keynote day at Dreamforce ‘15 and the Cloud for Good team spread out to cover them all. The Cloud for Good team left each keynote excited and inspired by all the new announcements. Check out our highlights.
DREAMFORCE: DAY TWO Another day has come and gone, and we are at the halfway mark
Day one is coming to a wrap here at Dreamforce 2015, and what a day it has been! Many (including the Cloud for Good team) were up bright and early to try and beat the registration lines at 7 am, and sessions started quickly after with the first beginning at 8:00 am. Get our thoughts on the beginning of the best technology conference!
