According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary, the term Social Media refers to the use of web-based and mobile technologies to turn communication into an interactive dialogue¹. As part of their vision for the future of SalesLogix, Sage enforced this concept all week and shared with us their beliefs that media and social content will only continue to drive market productivity, sales and revenue for quite some time. Therefore, they are placing a focus on social media efforts as it pertains to their mobile application.

During SalesLogix Boot Camp, an introduction to the SalesLogix mobile product was given. Below are some of the key lessons learned:

1. Enhancing and troubleshooting the SalesLogix mobile product can be accomplished using a variety of tools
2. The SalesLogix mobile product is compatible with any HTML5/CSS3 compliant mobile device
3. There is an application cache that stores pages on your device for more responsive use
4. Data is obtained through SData communication protocol and is also cached on the device for a “disconnected” user experience

Sage also announced the migration of Visual Analyzer  to version 10 of QlikView,  as well as the new Business Intelligence tool,  Spotfire. Moving forward, Spotfire will be utilized in the SalesLogix Web Client for dashboards.
