The Salesforce.com NJ User Group met on Thursday, May 21. Special thanks to Rich from PlanetConnect for his hospitality, and an interesting demo of what his company is doing with their Salesforce.com implementation.

At this meeting, we had a lengthy discussion of challenges we face with different application features, and speculated on where we would like to see the Salesforce.com product go in the future.
