The Two Best SaaS Platforms in the World? Google Hangout
http://youtu.be/aPC-UdiK4Ag
On this hangout we will get into the features that distinguish Applications from Platforms. Salesforce.com CRM is a great Application, but Force.com is an even better Platform. Just in time for Dreamforce we will show how Zuora works with Salesforce, and why when you have two great platforms working together you get Synergy. 1 + 1 = 3 type stuff...
Join us for live demos that demonstrate the new features of Zuora's native Salesforce applications. See Zuora's top technical minds discuss how our joint customers leverage these new features, and why Salesforce + Zuora is becoming the de-facto SaaS business "Stack" for companies like Engine Yard, Sendgrid, Informatica, Trip Advisor, DYN and many more.
