Training Classes- Freebies or Assistance
I think it's a shame that Salesforce charges $4,000.00 for Training Classes then you have to pay $200.00 for the test. I myself can not afford the $4,000.00 and my company will not pay for it. So it kills me there maybe open seats and I can not attend. Maybe Salesforce should come up with a drawing for locals that if the class is not filled a few lucky folks could attend for free. It will only help Salesforce increase user productivity. For example, I post on the community all the time for FREE to help others with the program why not reward folks with a free class or Salesforce credits towards a class.
Idea Exchanges for SFDC User Groups
It would be excellent if we had Idea Exchanges exclusively dedicated to SFDC User Groups. I see multiple benefits.
First, we centralize ideas for our individual user groups and encourage member involvement.
Second, ideas could be shared across User Groups (like how implemented ideas were received) which would enrich the SFDC Brand experience and community.
Third, SFDC would further promote two great offerings.
It just seems to be a natural fit.
Calendar Idea-Highlight days we are going to be out of the office!
I thought of an idea today as I schedule my follow ups. Here is an example: I know I am going to be out of the office on Nov. 27th & 28th. I keep going in and accidentally marking my follow ups on both of those days. If I could manually go in and Highlight both of those days on my personal Calendar in a different color I would remember I am out of the office on both of those days and I know not to schedule any follow ups for those days. Also maybe have the system not allow us to set a follow up on the days that we are out of the office maybe have a reminder pop up and say you cannot schedule a follow up your schedule conflicts or you are out of the office?
Expanded Graphing and Charting Capabilities in Dashboards
Adding More graph functions to Reporting and Dashboarding Objects - One in particular would be the ability to graph data on a double y-axis chart
Display Organisation name in Browser title bar
When using more than one Salesforce Org (like managing orgs for clients), it would be very helpful if the org name would be displayed in the title bar of the browser. This makes it a lot easier to identify the org when using multiple browser instances at the same time without having to open/maximize the browser window.
Dreamforce: Provide power to recharge laptop batteries in sessions
It would be really nice to be able to recharge our laptops while sitting in the breakout sessions at Dreamforce, Please put chairs and power strips along the side or along the back of the session meeting rooms so that we can recharge our laptops while in the sessions!
BIGGER FONT on conference badges
I found the Dreamforce '08 badges pretty hard to read unless you were REALLY close to the person - the font size for the last name needs to be much larger, as well as the font size for the company name. There was plenty of white space on the badge to accommodate larger font sizes, so I think the badges could definitely accommodate it.
Eliminate paper session surveys!!
I am amazed that they are handing out PAPER session surveys at a SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE conference!!! Also, it is sooooo NOT green!!!
Can't this be replaced by some cool Force.com technology?? Reduce the Salesforce.com carbon footprint!!!
Let customers agree to Safe Harbor statement PRIOR to events
I was just sitting in a breakout session here at Dreamforce '08, and I sat through the introduction of the Salesforce Safe Harbor statement for the 1,000,000th^2 time. Then it hit me, couldn't I just be required to sign something online (in the Dreamforce registration portal perhaps?) prior to the conference saying:
"I have read and comprehended this Safe Harbor statement, and I don't need to have it shown to me in all the sessions"
then we all wouldn't have to sit through the same Safe Harbor statement shtick in every single session that we attend!!
You could extend this capability to other events (Success Tour, Tour de Force, etc.) to save valuable time in the presentations there as well.
Increase the value of Premier Support Offerings
Currently, the Salesforce.com Support Organization offers two packages for Premier Support:
http://www.salesforce.com/services-training/customer-support/
1. Premier Support (Developer Support included)
2. Premier Support (Developer Support included) + Admin
Salesforce.com Support also offers Force.com App Extensions, Integrator and Customer Integration support. We would like to create more flexibility for customers to choose from a variety of offerings. Therefore, we have created this idea to gather customer input.
What other options/services would you like to see offered from Premier Support?
Is there a Salesforce connector for SSIS
Hi All,
Is there a connector that can connect Salesforce with SSIS?
We use Dataloader to extract data into CSV and then DTS/SSIS to load data. The first step is a dependency for the second and we are looking for a viable and stable option.
Thanks!
Better Support Options when Calling Salesforce Support
When I call Salesforce support I am already annoyed by the time I reach the Support Rep because I have had to listen to a million options that do not apply to me. I would like Salesforce to reconsider their phone menu and limit it to maybe (3) options and have less time listening to the greeting. I love automated routing and directing calls but make it simple and have an option to repeat should you have got lost in the call and you should ALWAYS have the option to say Operator or Customer Service Rep during any part of the greeting should you be lost in never never land.
