Although nobody from Bust Out was able to attend this year, Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce conference was a smashing success. Our involvement with Salesforce started when they acquired Heroku, a cloud hosting platform that makes deployment and scaling of applications ridiculously easy. Bust Out Solutions is a Heroku preferred development partner, and our work on Best Buy IdeaX is one of their top success stories. We presented our work at last spring’s Cloudforce conference, and since then have been doing more and more work on the Heroku platform. The possibilities are endless, and the power of Salesforce’s reach is impressive.

Thanks to Eric Scheel, CTO of our Salesforce development partner Reside, for snapping a photo of IdeaX being presented by Oren Teich of Heroku, as well as a picture of a 20-foot-tall Gary Koelling hanging in the lobby of Moscone West. And thanks to Mark Johnson of Salesforce for the “Pillar of Success” photo of Gary.
