• 2001: Salesforce.com hosted CRM applications– Standard edition for $65 per user per month

• $7,800 a year for 10 users

– Enterprise edition for $125 per user per year• $30,000 a year for 20 users2003

CRM (Cont.)

• 2002: Salesforce.com Team Edition– Slightly less functional– Only up to 5 users– $995 a year, fully hosted

2003

Salesforce.com

Not all disruptions come from the bottom


• Christensen talks about tsunamis– Revolutionary

• Disruptions can also be ripples and waves – Evolutionary

Disruptive Technologies• Tsunamis

– Optimizing Compiler– PC– Internet

• Ripples and Waves– OOP– IDEs– SOA & Web Services

• Work Flow Engines• Biz Talk• Active Movie (Microsoft, 1996)

Disruptive Stimuli

• External Intervention

– Standards

– Government regulations

– Supply Chain requirements

Salesforce.com

• Pressured to move beyond salesforce automation– Contact Center– Marketing Automation– Analytics– Sforce– Customization via configuration

IBM's Growth Engine Sputters

• Customers abandoning or changing deals– JP Morgan Chase– Cable & Wireless– U. Penn– Invensys– Equifax renegotiated

Not all is bleak for SAS

• Aggressive growth in SMB

• And ….

SOX is the new Y2K

“X is the new Y”is part of the modern lexicon

Let’s measure this audience’s HCI (Hip Culture Index)

SOX is the new Y2K

• “Pink is the new …

… Red,” – Jossie and the Pussycats, 2001

• “Twelve is the new …

… Eleven,” – Ocean’s Twelve, 2004

• “Random is the new …

… Order,” – iPod Shuffle

Sarbanes-Oxley

• “Compliance costs average large company $7.8 million, 70,000 man hours, and countless headaches.”

• It will only grow before relaxing to a healthy level.

Sarbanes-Oxley

• The new Y2K– $6.1 Billion (AMR Research)

• Bitpipe lists 58 SOX compliance companies – HP: OpenView Compliance & SOA Managers– Computer Associates: Unicenter ServicePlus– EMC: Documentum Compliance Manager– IBM: Risk and Compliance Framework– Oracle: Compliance Architecture

SOX requires identity and access infrastructure that can both control and validate user-machine interactions as well as SOA-based machine-machine interactions.

SOA as COA

Compliance Oriented Architectures

RedMonk

Access control, analytics, archive/backup, auditing, collaboration, conflict resolution, destruction, disposition management, indexing, information integration, monitoring, notarization, policy engine, process registry, retention, retrieval, tagging, version control and workflow.

Conclusion

• Enormous challenges– Complexity vs. Commoditization– On demand requirements– Competition

• Enormous opportunities– SOA and Web Services– Evolving regulations– Growing pool of talent
