It is less about the technology and more about the business, the business process and the people.

If you break it down, it’s (a CoE) just a simple way of delivering incremental regular change to the business and adding ongoing business value quickly. It’s a way of ensuring that business and IT become one, in steering and governance and they get rid of those historic silos.

MARK HILL GLOBAL CIO

Organizations have all these different business units and they all have Salesforce. They all have autonomy. They make their changes and they live in their little silo. Bringing them together is the biggest challenge.

Marc Benioff’s constant reminder is that if everything is important, nothing is important.
