Jon Stahl at OneNorthwest would be the person to talk to about Salesforce. I know that they have been rolling out non profit clients on Salesforce for CRM duties.


(Or I can chip in in a pinch on ONE/Northwest's work integrating Plone & Salesforce.com)

Sounds like NorthWest One has done some great work on a mashup with SalesForce.com. I see it listed on appexchange.com at .... http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange/detail_overview.jsp? id=a0330000002QFi8AAG Is there are a good "end user case study" of salesforce.com integrated with Plone ? Is any non-profit on this list using this integration ? How is it going ?


At present, there is no "end user case study" that talks about integrating a Plone site with Salesforce.com. That's because in the interest of "eating-one's-own-dogfood", we haven't used any of the tools on our client organizations and are just beginning to use them on ourselves. Someday there may be a nice report.

There is a list and Google group dedicated to that very subject though. If anyone here is interested, I'd invite you to join in the disscussion.

It's at:

At present, we're using PayPal's Instant Payment Notification to create a lead object. This is unreleased, but we've been using it for several months:
http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/Paypal2SalesforceLead

We're also testing and waiting to deploy a custom adapter for PloneFormGen that puts the results directly into a chosen Salesforce object type. This is in 1.0 rc 1 stage (help us test so the final is solid!) and can be found at:
http://plone.org/products/salesforcepfgadapter

There are other things in the works, which will see the light of day, hopefully soon, and custom applications can be written using the approach described here: http://theploneblog.org/blog/archive/2007/07/17/plone-salesforce-com- using-salesforce-com-as-a-content-catalog


Hope this helps you get a sense for what's currently possible.
