On upgrades, horse-drawn trams and new technology

"If I asked people what they wanted, they would say: faster horses!"

This statement is attributed to Henry Ford. But he came up with a different paradigm. Thus, Ford became the inventor of the automobile for ordinary people: the T-Ford.

New technology - born in the cloud - relates to existing ICT applications like the automobile to the horse-drawn tram (with faster horses). Like Google and Salesforce to Microsoft and other traditional platforms. Salesforce CRM you never have to upgrade. Just as you don't need to put an automobile in its stable with fresh hay and straw for a much-needed rest.

 

No more upgrades

One of the many reasons to opt for new technology instead of software from the old trusted vendors is that you never have to upgrade yourself. A traditional system becomes obsolete within a few years because the technology will be outdated by then. Salesforce will be three times a year renewed in releases that are implemented automatically. Everything just keeps on working, nothing needs to be tested or modified. As a result, Salesforce's Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to, say, Microsoft CRM is obviously lower, when you compare the facts. While its innovation power is much greater. Large and smaller organisations hitch a ride on continuous investments and innovations leading to constantly updated functionality of the platform.

The horses are not only being replaced, but also renewed, improved. The combustion engine of the T-Ford, meanwhile, is an electric motor from Tesla. Tesla is also new technology and also comes with automated upgrades via Salesforce technology. Dashboard buttons have been replaced by a large screen that you can use as you wish to control the audio, control the air conditioning, call someone or navigate.

In this 3 min video Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella explains why he has invested so heavily in working with Salesforce, the world's top CRM provider.

We at g-company advise people and organisations to make use of new technology: leave the horse tram intact as a curiosity, but run your business on a born-in-the-cloud platform.

One of the many reasons for choosing new technology instead of software from the old, familiar suppliers is that you never have to upgrade yourself. A traditional system is obsolete within a few years, because the technology is then outdated. Salesforce is renewed three times a year in releases that are implemented automatically. Everything continues to work as usual, with no need for testing or adjustment. As a result, Salesforce's Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is clearly lower than that of Microsoft CRM, for example, when you compare the facts. While the power of innovation is much greater. Large and smaller organisations alike benefit from continuous investment and innovation, which leads to constantly updated functionality of the platform.
