			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Salesforce.com App for iPad got off to a slightly rocky start because users thought it was similar to the Salesforce.com iPhone App, but rumors are that more functionality designed to take advantage of iPad&#8217;s powerful, flexible capabilities is on its way. No matter what your enterprise sells, Salesforce.com functionality is essential &#8220;in and out&#8221; of &#8220;the cloud.&#8221; After <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ismsystems#p/u/6/x6K-Iy-I4IU">listening to customers</a> talking about how they needed to access their Salesforce.com information when they didn&#8217;t have a wireless connection, ISM included offline access to Salesforce.com data in its Mobile CRM HD App for iPad.</p>
<p>Being visionary is part of what makes Salesforce.com CEO Mark Benioff so motivational and successful. Mark talks about &#8220;Cloud 1&#8243; and &#8220;Cloud 2,&#8221; and according to Mark, we&#8217;re in the middle of Cloud 2, even though some enterprises aren&#8217;t fully-aware of it. The big motivator for moving to Cloud 2 is the iPad, Benioff told TechCrunch. &#8220;The iPad shows us what now is really possible,&#8221; Benioff said. &#8220;It shows us we all need to go faster.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>ISM&#8217;s Mobile CRM HD App for iPad</strong></p>
<p>ISM&#8217;s Mobile CRM HD App for iPad uses Salesforce.com&#8217;s powerful functionality in a genuine iPad app. <a href="http://www.ismsystems.com/cloud-solutions/mobile-crm/mobile-crm-hd/">ISM&#8217;s Mobile CRM HD App</a> is continuing to evolve and is in <a href="http://www.ismsystems.com/cloud-solutions/mobile-crm/open-development/">an open development phase</a>. Currently, the iPad app allows sales reps to manage and schedule their accounts, and they can quickly note what was discussed, schedule follow-up calls, and take notes. Everything sales reps are working on can be accessed in the field. With the current <a href="http://www.ismsystems.com/insights/crm/free-ipad-app-for-salesforce-com-open-development-program-the-ism-vlog/">Mobile CRM HD App for iPad</a>, reps can also identify what product they want to order, what quantity, and enter payment information.</p>
<p><strong>iPad Apps Should Be Flexible and Fun Like Facebook</strong></p>
<p>According to Mark Benioff, &#8220;Our industry has gone through many shifts, but ultimately, the big ones have always been about software, not hardware. Now, we are seeing a simultaneous software and hardware revolution. This will result in a new generation that looks more like Facebook on the iPad than Yahoo on the PC.&#8221;</p>
<p>What Apps look like is important, but what they do, and what you can do with them, is the aspect that we know is important to you. We&#8217;re interested in your Salesforce/iPad experiences! This is a great place to share them – good, bad, or in-between. Our products aren&#8217;t designed for ISM, they&#8217;re designed for you and your sales enterprise. We also have a more formal way for you to participate in the development process for Mobile CRM HD for iPad, and <a href="http://www.ismsystems.com/cloud-solutions/mobile-crm/open-development/">we want to hear from you</a>. Your input could help make the best app for <a href="http://www.ismsystems.com/insights/crm/free-ipad-app-for-salesforce-com-open-development-program-the-ism-vlog/">Salesforce.com on iPad</a>. Another place to talk with us about moving into Cloud 2 is at <a href="http://www.ismsystems.com/resources2/events/dreamforce-2011/">Dreamforce</a>, August 30 – September 2 in San Francisco.  We&#8217;ll be at Booth 33 and we&#8217;re looking forward to meeting you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to Macworld, there are almost 500,000 iPad apps, even though &#8220;only&#8221; 90,000 are officially for sale in the Apple app store. Most of the amazing number of iPad apps are focused on entertainment, including ultra-geeky, but no-cost apps like the Star Trek PADD – Personal Access Display Device. For only 99 cents, you can download the &#8220;Flux Capacitor&#8221; and turn your iPad into the mad scientist device that rocketed the Back to the Future Car back into the 1950s!</p>
<p>On a slightly different note, you can take a break from planning your next trip back in time in order to organize your sales route, check your leads, add new contacts, and list and review your product catalog from inside Salesforce with <a href="http://www.ismsystems.com/cloud-solutions/mobile-crm/mobile-crm-hd/">ISM&#8217;s Mobile CRM HD App for iPad</a>. Best of all, you have offline access to key data stored on your iPad. You can use the <a href="http://www.ismsystems.com/cloud-solutions/mobile-crm/mobile-crm-hd/">Mobile CRM HD App for iPad</a> even if you don&#8217;t have wireless connectivity.</p>
<p><strong>Working with the Customer with Mobile CRM HD App for iPad</strong></p>
<p>In addition to sales reps managing and scheduling their accounts, they can record activities on the Mobile CRM HD App for iPad. The app allows the rep to quickly note what was discussed, schedule follow-up calls, and take notes. Everything sales reps are working on can be accessed in the field. With the current <a href="http://www.ismsystems.com/insights/crm/free-ipad-app-for-salesforce-com-open-development-program-the-ism-vlog/">Mobile CRM HD App for iPad</a>, reps can also identify what product they want to order, what quantity, and enter payment information.</p>
<p><strong>Looking Forward with Mobile CRM HD App for iPad</strong></p>
<p>ISM is working on the next phase of development for the Mobile CRM HD App for iPad. The next generation of the app will include full account creation abilities and lead management capability. In the field, reps will be able to add, edit or convert leads. Account management capability will have deeper capability, enabling reps to add in-depth sales information. Taking advantage of the iPad&#8217;s powerful content capacity, the next phase of Mobile CRM HD will include sales videos, brochures, spec sheets and other product information. The content will be totally relational, able to be evaluated for effectiveness through Salesforce.</p>
<p>If you have ideas about what you&#8217;d like to see included in a Mobile CRM HD App for iPad, we&#8217;re <a href="http://www.ismsystems.com/cloud-solutions/mobile-crm/open-development/">eager to hear from you</a>. <a href="http://www.ismsystems.com/insights/crm/ipad-open-development-for-salesforce-crm-opportunity/">Your input could shape the perfect app</a> for your sales enterprise.

If you&#8217;ve been thinking about going, this is the cloud computing event of the year in one of the world&#8217;s most beautiful cities. Save your &#8220;flux capacitor&#8221; App power for time travel, and <a href="https://dreamevent.secure.force.com/dreamforce/index?atype=attendee&amp;wl=us&amp;wt=customer&amp;mboxSession=1312674461888-307652">register for the full conference pass at Dreamforce</a> using priority code <strong>ECMISMSYS</strong> and receive $100 off!  Or register for the <a href="https://dreamevent.secure.force.com/dreamforce/index?atype=keynoteexpo">Keynote &amp; Expo only pass for free</a> using priority code <strong>EXOISMSYS.</strong></p>
