As Salesforce’s first consulting partner “born in the cloud,” Bluewolf had faith in Marc Benioff’s vision and the possibilities of the cloud. Many times throughout the duration of our partnership, he has said that “the business of business is to improve the state of the world.”
IDC’s newly released report highlights the tremendous growth of the Salesforce ecosystem — $272 billion in GDP impact worldwide. It’s a testament to the success companies and partners are achieving by leveraging cloud solutions to accelerate business development and project completion, shorten time to market, and lower costs.
For over 15 years, Bluewolf has been customizing Salesforce and delivering transformative results for clients, and we’re just scratching the surface of this immense opportunity. Why is that? While public cloud spending surpassed $50 billion worldwide last year, it still represents less than 3% of total spending on IT. We are still at the inception of IT innovation, but more than ever, we’re seeing companies recognize the value of Salesforce and other cloud solutions to transform their business. The State of Salesforce Report shows that investments are on the rise; 64% of Salesforce customers are planning to increase their Salesforce budgets in the coming year, with 11% increasing by more than 50%.
An astounding 71% of traditional IT spending is still tied to maintenance of legacy systems and routine upgrades. We know that legacy systems cripple organizations by hindering ongoing innovation and weighing down budgets with maintenance costs. That is why we are dedicated to guiding enterprises who haven’t adopted cloud and are lagging behind with legacy systems.
We know firsthand the unique power of the cloud to liberate data, increase efficiency, and drive employee and customer engagement. Client success in today’s marketplace requires a new breed of GSI — a partner inherently aligned to drive customer engagement, with deep technical competencies — but also highly developed digital services across a diverse set of customer channels.
As a Salesforce Global Strategic Partner, we are committed to expanding this ecosystem further. We are uniquely poised to help global enterprises get more from their IT investments as they make the necessary shift from on-premises software to cloud systems and invest in new cloud technologies that drive customer success.
