Force.com Application Development Practice
With the advent of ‘platform’ technologies such as Force.com (Salesforce.com), Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure and others, companies are faced with challenging decisions around what to build (vs. buy), how much to commit to one or multiple platforms, which systems should remain ‘in-house’ and when do the benefits of a Cloud-based solution outweigh the perceived drawbacks? We believe strongly in the value proposition offered by these platforms: The ability to rapidly build tailored and scalable business solutions by leveraging infrastructure and services hosted in the Cloud. To be honest, it hasn’t been easy building out this practice at V2. Yet, through the combination of our strong operations consulting expertise and our agile software development and project management framework, we’ve made many clients happy (and even giddy) when we deploy long-awaited custom applications which provide tremendous value to end users. It’s fun and it’s rewarding.
