“The blended capabilities of DreamTeam are a natural extension for my
Salesforce implementation,” said Chuck Russell, President of Collective

projects, documents and associated team communication on the Appforce
platform, and have full visibility to all project activity from familiar
Salesforce interfaces and processes.”
“DreamTeam is an excellent example of how AppExchange makes new, innovative
on-demand applications available for almost any business problem available
with just a few clicks,” said Adam Gross, Director of Product Marketing,
salesforce.com. “By building on AppExchange, Dreamfactory was able to not

the deployment advantages of Internet applications with the graphical
horsepower of desktop processing and provides for a better end-user
experience.”
