Dreamforce, Salesforce.com’s Annual User’s Conference, is fast approaching. MK Partners is very excited to be attending our third Dreamforce in a row. We’re pumped up to learn about Salesforce’s upcoming release, hear Colin Powell speak, and rock out with the Black Crowes, but most of all, we are excited to meet you.

Just like the previous years, we will be featuring our staff, services, and products at a booth this year. To make this our best Dreamforce yet, we want to know what we can do to better serve your needs during Dreamforce.

Would you benefit from a demo of our products? How about a free optimization consultation on how you can utilize best practices to enhance your instance of Salesforce.com?

We know this conference will be great, but we’re most excited about Dreamforce being an opportuntiy for MK Partners to foster better relationships with our customers. As we move forward with our Dreamforce plans, let us know – How can MK Partners benefit you at Dreamforce?

Salesforce announced last week that the Dreamforce ’10 schedule builder is live on the Dreamforce.com website. The tool is still a little buggy (printing to pdf was not working last week, and once you select a session you can’t see it’s details anymore), but in general, it’s a great way to start planning where you need to be during Dreamforce.

As always, we recommend picking more than one session for any given timeframe and sitting near the door so that you can hop out and try to get the best of both worlds. If there’s just too much you want to see and hear, don’t worry, it’ll all be available online after the conference.

If you are like us,  you are getting excited about Dreamforce in November. We know that each year we watch in amazement as Salesforce.com takes its product to the next level. While we don’t know what major announcements will take place at this year’s Dreamforce, we have a hunch we’ve got a lead on some of the newest innovative solutions to be offered by Salesforce.

It appears that Salesforce will be making a major push to improve customer service. Check out this article on how Salesforce.com will take cloud computing and customer service to the next level.

We’re particularly excited about Salesforce Answers. Which of these innovative solutions is most applicable to your needs?
