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

"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."

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

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

"Early results show the [iOS/mobile app] is already having a positive impact on patient conversion rates and providing a better, more personalized experience for our sales team and customers."

"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."

"As we look to expand our business, the crowdsourcing model will allow us to scale quickly and produce more applications that ultimately improve our customers’ quality of life."

"We needed a single, global repository, that would unify the sales organization around data and collaboration management. Appirio has been an excellent partner."

"Working with Appirio was less like employing an outside firm and more like engaging an extremely enthusiastic business partner."

"Our objective is to have a pool of anonymized data that we can go back and interrogate."

"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."

"Workday brings real self-service into the company. for the employees it’s much more easy to work than before. They know where the manuals are, all in the same storage. And that’s really a nice thing for all the employees."

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

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