Salesforce Platform Mobile Services will be an extension to force.com.<\/p>\n<p>The focus on <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-us230bxud18lmvv9a65tgpc0s9v6xtfg\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Open Source<\/span> signaled that Salesforce.com may be gradually moving away from Apex - its own <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-em6vfmzcvbvazynmg9qozjbpfh5v0yhr\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Java<\/span>-based system - to more open <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-tt9yvaktbuqqa3ugxinoqp4gf52vwe7i\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Java<\/span>-environments.

Salesforce.com has so far taken a holistic view of this market, partly because many <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-y49l4hkb49plr17i3po1atd7mw6tvpov\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Apps<\/span> have been developed for multiple devices or universal environments.<\/p>\n<p>The mobile services offering is designed to help Salesforce accelerate the development of mobile and traditional <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-lvqlv64645x4a79n9a4te32y0zebq28c\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Applications<\/span> from each other, as the two types of applications will become increasingly distinct.<\/p>\n<h3>Pricing<\/h3>\n<p>The Salesforce Platform Mobile Services is still at an early stage, and not all parameters have been defined yet either. Interesting questions are, for example, how and whether the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-qkn5akhehpgwk657mxy2nl9k4xfqvqhb\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Company<\/span> the development of mobile <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-ltw8s724lytttwuji8xdlafr2phqhl6m\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Apps<\/span> to make money (for example, fee-based development of <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-gknjz20p0nv2m43lwbhketla550scv7j\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Apps<\/span> as in the Heroku PaaS environment) and the revenue opportunities for Salesforce.com through mobile services (example: costs for development and integration, for hosting, and for security of mobile <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-1yziwmvxhjyca8k2e8lrg5zkhxg66ul1\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Apps<\/span>\/management).<\/p>\n<h3>Channel &amp; Services<\/h3>\n<p>To gain traction in the consulting and integration market, Salesforce.com plans to support the launch of mobile services with a dedicated training program for the channel.<\/p>\n<p>Already on board are some of the best-known giants in the SI field, such as Accenture, <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-biv5u38linpy2wz8iko4e9g2prqwfmrm\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">Capgemini<\/span> and Deloitte. With these partners, Salesforce should have no problems developing its mobile <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-a1x9somosysytx7bhlr89bvfw5ojzs35\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Apps<\/span> with large companies.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, due to the global presence of these providers, it is expected that all relevant regions can be reached.<\/p>\n<p><em>George Mironescu, Senior Analyst at PAC, has been working for the market analysis and consulting company for around ten years.
