“The top buyer priority of being able to achieve desired business outcomes indicates that the successful services vendors in the Salesforce implementation ecosystem must possess solid industry/business process knowledge along with wide-ranging technical expertise,” said Ali Zaidi, senior research analyst, IT Consulting and Systems Integration Business Strategies at IDC.

Today Bluewolf also revealed its Titanium sponsorship of Salesforce’s Dreamforce 2015, the world’s largest software conference. Bluewolf has sponsored Dreamforce every year since the conference’s inception, driven by an unwavering belief that cloud computing would become a mainstream way of creating business innovation, customer demand, and platform investment. 

There is significant global demand and investment in CRM across all customer departments; Bluewolf’s award-winning 2014-2015 “State of Salesforce” report showed that nearly 50 percent of C-level executive respondents said Salesforce has measurably improved their customer experience, with 54 percent of respondents currently using two or more Salesforce clouds. 

Assisted by the company’s expansion into EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions, Bluewolf has completed more than 5,000 cloud projects for global and regional leaders across a diverse portfolio of industries and verticals, including Aberdeen, Australia Post, Pernod Ricard, Stanley Black & Decker, and Voyages SNCF.
