Salesforce, Inc has been receiving a lot of attention recently because of the release of the beta version of their new collaboration application- Chatter.Now the company is pushing the mobile as well.

BlackBerry App World is full of thousands of applications designated specifically for BlackBerry users and among that lineup is the Salesforce App.Free to Salesforce subscribers, or available as a thirty day free trial, the app allows users to customize the experience and create the perfect mobile organizational tool.With fast load times and access to all pertinent information, your sales team is sure to be efficient, although you might not see them in the office nearly as often.On the downside, reviewers of the application have complained a great deal about the most recent update, which when used to replace the older version seems to cause complications with the program. Similarly, among the growing number of iPhone Apps, Salesforce Mobile maintains ranks as one of the top business-use applications.Again, the app is offered for free to subscribers and the user of it can track his daily schedule, add new tasks, assign new contacts to existing company accounts, add notes to account details for the day’s interactions, and even chart his success, all while on the move.There is no need to be unsure on important calls because this application provides access to all pertinent account information, which can be accessed before- or during- the call. Windows Mobile is listed on the website as another venue for the Salesforce Mobile App.

With the promise of Chatter becoming a mobile application as well, there is a true powerhouse forming in mobile organization for the business professional.Now those updates to contacts and accounts can be instantly forwarded to everyone in the organization that needs to know.Once again, the mobile salesperson will find little need to ever be in the office.
