Dreamforce 15 – Key takeaways

This year Dreamforce was huge compare the previous year(s). Of course it is dreaming big year of year.   There is so many to take for everyone from Dreamforce, but for me as a Salesforce.com Developer, Consultant and Architect – it is huge.

However what I possibly took on that four days!

Presented a session in my company Booth on “Global rollout of Salesforce.com using Continuous Integration”.

New Product releases,

Salesforce IQ (RelateIQ) – Sales Cloud for Small Business

SalesforceApp cloud – Platform as a Service

Salesforce.comShield - Platform Encryption, Field Audit Trail, Data Archive & Event Monitoring 

On Heroku Platform,

Heroku flow seems very interesting for Continuous Delivery (especially when I did presentation on Continuous Integration).

Heroku DX – This supports Continuous Delivery by better source control, easier database management, and easy configuration and deployment by clicks.

There were series of sessions based on specific themes, was able to catch up with some of the sessions on these theme based tracks, which intern provided closure platform to connect people who looks for same topics.

Modern Architecture

CIO command center – Analytics

Security

Breakout sessions – below are the list of sessions I attended and clearly some of the sessions are very informative and good learning, some were explicitly sales demos and some were not mapped to correct roles and levels in the agenda builder.

CoE Workshop

Org Merge Best Practices

Large Enterprise Transformation (HP)

Modern Architecture (Theme based tracks)

Enterprise CoE

Single Vs Multi Org Strategy

Global Salesforce deployment – from business perspective

Lightning roadmap: All new Lightning Experience and Platform

Platform Encryption

Admin tools for Managing and Optimizing Data

Usability Testing

Cisco DevNet

Lightning Platform

Very importantly – If I need to say two things which are very much highlighted and attracted most of the crowd are Trailhead and Lightning Platform (Experience & Design System).

Of course it was awesome feeling to be on Dreamboat and nevertheless to say enjoyed the Dreamfest.
