Comments on: Salesforce now lets companies easily share data — passively http://venturebeat.com/2007/12/05/salesforce/ News About Tech, Money and Innovation Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:25:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Axel http://venturebeat.com/2007/12/05/salesforce/comment-page-1/#comment-729486 Axel Sat, 12 Jan 2008 06:30:34 +0000 http://venturebeat.com/2007/12/05/salesforce/#comment-729486 This is a significant shift in thinking. Crossing company boundaries to corporations is as important as "allowing" users to use Internet - which was not the case just 12 years ago. With sharing, another important aspect is introduced: Networking across company boundaries. And while LinkedIN, Facebook, Myspace own the networking aspect of the Internet, new contender such as Xeequa.com, Xing and others will open new dimensions for businesses. Xeequa for instance not only allows sharing of business data but actually alliance network building over a business social network. The key difference however will be made by the customer. By companies who change their corporate culture to more openness, networked thinking and collaboration outside the 4 walls of their corporation. This is a significant shift in thinking.
