Agenda

 • Story of Touch
 • Architecture and Challenges
 • Sneak Preview into Roadmap
 • Panel
Touch is a re-imagined
Salesforce experience across
any device, leveraging HTML5.
Let’s start from the beginning…
We need to think mobile first

                     Mobile can’t lag
                     Support ALL form factors
                     Wait a minute…
                        Native apps = Software
                        Salesforce = No Software
HTML5 was the Winner

                  • You want customizations
                  • You want it on every device
                  • Our challenges:
                       • How far can we push HTML?
                       • How do you prioritize 12 years of
                         features from us and YOU?
                       • What about offline, contacts etc.?
