The new Salesforce1 Mobile App will deliver the most complete and customizable mobile experience in a single app for business users. The new Salesforce1 Mobile App will include more than 30 new features that will allow users to sell, service, market and engage from any mobile device. Leading companies such as Daily Mail & General Trust, Design Within Reach, Philips and Stanley Black & Decker have adopted and customized the Salesforce1 Mobile App to connect to their customers in a whole new way.

Comments on the News
? "Apple launched the iPhone seven years ago and ignited a mobile computing revolution," said Kendall Collins, executive vice president, Mobile & Product Design, salesforce.com. "Today, with the Salesforce1 Mobile App and Salesforce1 Platform, companies are transforming to run their business from any mobile phone."
? "We are delighted with the fast time to value from investing in the Salesforce1 Mobile App as part of our mobile strategy,” said Jeroen Tas, CEO, Informatics, Solutions and Services, Philips Healthcare. “Everything that is vital to our company is now right here on my phone with Salesforce1."
? “The new Salesforce1 Mobile App allows us to build deeper connections with all of our customers, which is essential to be successful in today’s social and mobile world,” said John McPhee, President, Design Within Reach. “With the Salesforce1 Mobile App, we can customize every communication and interaction with our customers, keeping us ahead of our competition.”
? “Customers need to access data from legacy systems on their mobile devices to have a complete view of their business on the go," said Ashutosh Kulkarni, senior vice president and general manager, Data Integration, Informatica. "With our new QuickStart solution for SAP that provides pre-packaged business integration, customers can unlock back office data from SAP and bring it right into the Salesforce1 Mobile App on any device.”
? “The emergence of mobile enterprise applications, which will drive enterprise mobility, create new ways of working and transform existing business processes, is a major trend in 2014. For organizations that already have a mobility strategy in place, the next phase will be to start mobilizing as many internal processes as possible to allow workers to perform their core tasks (beyond email) from whichever device they have on hand, from wherever they are,” said Richard Absalom, senior analyst, Ovum.

Mobile App Usage Surpasses Desktop Usage
Today, people spend more time on mobile apps than on desktops, according to Comscore. In fact, smartphones are expected to be 77 percent of connected devices in use by 2017, according to Ovum. The smartphone is the dashboard to our personal life. We have Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, banking apps to monitor our financials and we have apps to track our fitness. People want to run their business from their phone, but where are the mobile business apps?

Only four percent of people’s time is spent on productivity apps built for business. The low adoption of enterprise mobile apps can be attributed to the fact that there are limited choices in apps that are process and data driven, they are difficult to build, hard to customize and challenging to connect to legacy systems.
