Salesforce offers a broad ecosystem of tools and integrations, giving organizations flexibility but also introducing constant decisions about when to buy, build, or customize. The strongest strategies apply discipline to those choices, often relying on Salesforce custom development to ensure specific requirements are met without adding unnecessary cost or complexity.

That balance is a hallmark of how Mike Reeves, Vice President of the Salesforce Practice at CG Infinity, advocates for clients. In one engagement, a customer considered purchasing an expensive third-party electronic signature application to support warranty requests and signup forms. Instead of defaulting to new licenses, CG Infinity collaborated with the client’s internal IT team to design and deliver a custom signature capture solution within their existing Salesforce environment. The result was a purpose-built application the client fully owns—meeting the exact requirement without ongoing licensing fees—and a clear example of how CG Infinity helps clients turn ideas into solutions while maintaining control over cost and complexity within Salesforce.

We were able to develop a custom solution that met the specific requirement that they had for signature capture. How have you seen CGInvenity advocate for our clients? I would say that, you know, this would be an example for me. Often, you know, our clients are looking at additional software applications to fulfill specific functionalities. In a recent case that I was involved in, a client was interested in an electronic signature capture application to meet a very specific need that they had. And when they priced out the licenses for this third party application, it was quite expensive. So we worked together with their internal IT group and we were able to develop a custom solution that met the specific requirement that they had for signature capture for their warranty request and sign up forms. So that's one way that we advocate for our client is they have an idea, we support that idea, we help them control their cost. At the end of the day, they have an application that they own and that they're, know, this example, they're not having to pay monthly fees for user licenses.

Hammond tells MSPs to pick a vertical and one problem

Hammond tells MSPs to pick a vertical and one problem

N-able Head Nerd Stefanie Hammond lays out a 10-step growth playbook for MSPs that have built spare capacity, starting with one industry and one problem and a 100-account target list. She argues MSPs have a sales problem more than a lead problem, and points to her go-to-market accelerator program, with classes starting in November.

  • 01Hammond starts with revenue targets, then one industry and one problem, then a 100-account list split 20, 30 and 50.
  • 02Hammond says MSPs have a sales problem more than a lead problem: find where proposals stall and whether the right decision makers are in the room before paying for more leads.
  • 03The Dream 100 name traces to a case Chet Holmes International describes: 167 of 2,200 newspaper advertisers bought 95% of the ads, and the first close took five months of mail and calls.

Google Just Put AI Chips in Orbit. The Real Story Is the Power Bill on the Ground.

Google Just Put AI Chips in Orbit. The Real Story Is the Power Bill on the Ground.

Google launched a prototype satellite carrying four Trillium TPUs to test whether the chips can survive launch and operate under orbital radiation and heat constraints, driven by power limits on the ground. It is not a data center but a survival test for durability, radiation resistance, and heat dissipation, signaling that energy availability—not chips or models—is becoming the limiting factor for AI infrastructure growth.

  • 01Project Suncatcher's first satellite is a survival test for hardware durability, not operational compute capacity for actual workloads
  • 02Orbital solar can deliver up to 8x more power, and Google research suggests launch costs could drop below $200/kg by the mid-2030s, bringing space build costs closer to some Earth equivalents.
