Competition 

And Alternatives

With the growth of Salesforce, does this make it that much more challenging for everyone involved?

New system integrators competing with the well-established.

The well-established now competing with the new kids on the block.

New Independent Software Vendors working diligently to get their product known and differentiated from all the others.

Clients/customers overloaded with who and what to choose (this might be the biggest challenge of it all).

Newcomers applying for a position along with hundreds of others.

Experienced hires possibly finding it harder to differentiate themselves as they once could.

Maybe there is enough opportunity that this is not a concern long term, but in the day to day, I think there are some that may be feeling it more now than in the past.
