Why is Developers @ Connections not to be missed?

For any of us that has spent time in the salesforce ecosystem, we’ve become familar with the importance of business level platform services – create an object and instantly have an API available, create workflow and rules with the click of a button, and much more. This is the power of platform as a service, and Salesforce1. You no longer worry about infrustructure, period.

With the age of mobile-first, and the shift from transactions to experiences, the need for a platform like Salesforce1 is even more critical. Business level services are being extended to provide experience-based services to support the demands on marketing and CMOs. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2017 CMOs will more on IT than CIOs! Until now, the third core services in the Salesforce1 platform – ExactTarget Fuel – has been a bit of an unknown for most Salesforce developers.

It’s time to change this!
