**2nd REMINDER ** Salesforce.com User Group Meeting - Wed Feb 4 @ 7:30am

Hi All - our next meeting is just about here...next Wed Feb 4 @7:30 - 10AM.  We have another great response to-date but the more users that we have in our user group the more interaction and shared knowledge we’ll have!  

 

In creating this meeting agenda I’ve asked one of the leading SFDC consulting companies, Bluewolf to share their extensive Salesforce.com knowledge on how our members can proactively embrace and drive efficiency utilizing the SFDC application throughout their organization in a down economy (or any economy!).   One thing you must say about a tough economy — it makes us all think a bit more strategically about how not just to survive, but how to improve our sales, services and operations in order to both weather the storm and position ourselves personally and our company for a long-term competitive advantage. 

 

Bluewolf’s Lonnie Wills and Lou Fox will lead the meeting and sessions…

 

Lonnie Wills is the Managing Director of the West for the CIO Consulting practice for Bluewolf.  He consults with executives on how to harness the power of SaaS and enabling SaaS strategies to the desktop.  Mr. Wills is a seasoned IT veteran with over 20 years of experience in IT consulting and management. 

 

Lou Fox is the Chief Technical Officer of Bluewolf.  For the past 15 years Lou Fox has been assisting Fortune 1000 companies in growing their businesses by leveraging web based solutions.  During the web 1.0 phase Mr. Fox worked with companies such as Guess, Disney, Toys R Us and Nike to build their eCommerce initiatives.  At Bluewolf, Mr. Fox has leveraged the collaborative and agile nature of web 2.0 to bring award-winning consulting and on-demand product solutions to Bluewolf clients such as ADP, Dow Jones, Hartford Insurance, Dupont, New York Times, Hartford Insurance.
