Integrator Appirio creating waves

CloudPro

...From what I have seen, they appear to have a good appreciation of local needs. That's a good start and is supported by a pre-existing presence by both Salesforce.com and Workday, both of which are key partners for Appirio.

Oh and did I mention? The POC I saw of the merchandising app took ideas from Salesforce.com, Google maps, heat mapping, location aware photos all wrapped up in a simple process that works on a tablet device. It looks beautiful and its value is self evident. How often do we get to say that about enterprise grade apps? With that kind of 'stuff' in the works I can see Appirio scoring heavily in the UK. They will open up opportunities that cannot be matched by those working in the on-premise world.

Their progress will be a disrupting force in the enterprise consulting arena which I encourage others to watch closely. I wish them well because I see Appirio as closely aligned to customer success. Not in some fluffy PR way but by showing examples, asking questions and being good partners to their communities of interest...
