"What we really wanted to do, was take that strong sense of home, and be able for [students, faculty, and alumni] to feel it when they aren’t physically here on the hilltop."

"Everything we do, we do from a people perspective. It needs to be easy, agile, and intuitive."

"11 production plants in the world. Every plant was doing HR processes completely decentralised, and there was no common ground."

"Appirio has brought a lot to the table, complementing our teams both on the business side and the technology side Facebook."

"At Facebook, we take pride in how quickly we deliver innovation and changes in our applications, and the combination of Appirio and the Force.com platform has allowed us to meet those changing business needs."

"Just as we worked very hard to determine the right CRM platform, we also worked very hard to determine the right partner to help us migrate to Salesforce. Appirio was the clear winner."

"I don’t think there are that many vendors out there who understand the real needs of nonprofits when it comes to CRM. Appirio understands how nonprofits should implement, and were able to bring a lot of their own strategic thinking and their own solutions to our problems."

"It’s important to connect emotionally with our customer and to create memorable moments."

"It has to work. It has to scale regardless of what happens on Oprah or anywhere else and we have to get it to the market in 21 days."

"The real transformation that we’ve experienced with Salesforce and Appirio is bringing technology, people, and process together."

"With the Appirio Crowdsourcing Community, Honeywell can leverage talent from anywhere worldwide and really accelerate our speed to market while improving the quality of our products."

"Development and learning has always been a priority at Moen — which has been great, because we know that people will be engaged knowing there’s future opportunities — not just in their own role."

"Our Product Testing solution empowers brands with an interactive environment to get product feedback quickly from a cross-segment of testers. The work that Appirio completed in three months was equivalent to approximately 15 full time developers, and the community delivered a platform at nearly half of the estimated cost."

"It’s really designed and built, not for your HR professionals, but for employees and managers."

"The system is more efficient. We can focus on real value-adding tasks in HR instead of administrative tasks. The surprises for me were really the positive ones, it is basically used by each and every employee, including all the production people, on a daily basis."
