So, it is Thanksgiving Thursday. Well, that would likely mean much, much more if I lived south of the border, but I still have been able to work while watching 3 absolute football blowouts, and the Senators hockey game on TV! As it is Thanksgiving, it’s been fun to sit an watch Twitter, to see…

Making a List, and Checking It Twice…
So, I just noticed that it has been over three months since the last blog posting. Bad Nik…bad bad Nik! Of course, this week is Dreamforce ’09, and while I cannot be there in person, I plan on following vicariously through tweets and at www.dreamforce.com as much as possible. One of things I loved the…
Please delete me…
A question came across Twitter today – how can I mass delete from a related object. A great, free little application on the Salesforce.com Appexchange – Mass Delete – helps out with this, but it only comes with standard objects. Also, with the increase of wonderful, popular appexchange apps, some are running into limits for…
Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon…
Wow – as I look at the calendar today, I realize the importance of the 15th of April… Today, xLerate turns one year old. And with that, I feel very proud. Looking at numbers and statistics (ah, how we love and loathe them all at the same time) people passed on to me when I…

A response to “10 key issues that On Demand CRM systems won’t tell you about”

When I did, I saw an article by Peter Thomas entitled “10 key issues that On Demand (SaaS) CRM systems won’t tell you”. In the article, Mr. Thomas outlines 10 supposed issues SaaS companies try…
2009 – A CRM Odyssey
So, I must admit I have rung in the new year spending time with family, and trying to leave the work stuff aside for a bit. I have also, however, continued my new love affair with Twitter by reading, posting and pretty much figuring out the best way to use this tool to learn and…
2008 – It’s been a very good year
Hello all, Well, we find ourselves at the end of one year, and awaiting the birth of a new one. This is typically the time of year we traditionally reflect, and being to make resolutions and plans for the next year. I must admit, I have never been good at either, usually living too much…
Goldmine Exporting – Ah The Joys…
So, here we are, within a couple of weeks from Christmas and work is keeping us busy. Completing an implementation which includes data migration from Goldmine.
