Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM), the enterprise cloud computing company, and Bluewolf (www.bluewolf.com), a leading provider of Web 2.0 and cloud computing services, today announced that Page 1 Solutions has successfully developed and deployed a custom project management application on the Force.com platform.

Page 1 Solutions, a full-service Internet marketing and optimization company, used the Force.com platform along with Bluewolf's consulting services to deliver their new custom application in only four months and at 20 percent of the cost of developing it on-premise with Microsoft .NET.

"We'd spent years trying to develop a fully functioning, yet lightweight application through which we could manage all moving aspects of our complex client service business," said Michael Barrow, a 29-year veteran programmer and analyst, and Director of Computer Services for Page 1 Solutions.

"For Page 1, bringing on a new customer requires the coordination of multiple departments, dozens of employees and literally hundreds of tasks. The goal of the project was to automate the process, through a framework that communicated each step of the process to all appropriate people within our organization. We initially tried to build the application using .NET, but after three years we were no closer to actually deploying our application."

"By using Bluewolf and the Force.com platform, we were able to get our application developed and online in 4 months and at 20 percent of the cost of on-premise. While the cost savings was great, the time savings was a much more important factor for us, as the rapid changes in our markets and business model can no longer allow us the luxury of long development times and missed deadlines."

"Today's projects, and the consultants that support them, need to help companies demonstrate a direct ability to generate and manage new revenue," said Eric Berridge, co-founder of Bluewolf. "The Force.com platform allows Bluewolf to deliver results quickly for our customers. By moving custom application development into the cloud, customers such as Page 1 Solutions are able to benefit, not only in terms of cost, but also from the overall speed and ease of deployment.''

Barrow concluded that the custom application is quickly making a real difference within Page 1 Solutions. "It has made the single biggest difference in our company's ability to take on additional clients, ultimately growing and scaling our business."
