AppExchange is O-K(-E-R-E)!

This kind of story is also becoming a daily occurrence. Maybe it has something to do with that new Apex thing…

OKERE, a management and technology consulting firm for on-demand business applications, has put OKERE’s software for capital markets on salesforce.com‘s AppExchange. OKERE Capital Markets is built on the Apex on-demand platform and is available for test drive.

OKERE Capital Markets is designed for businesses which market to, trade with and service financial services companies. The application provides call logging, list management and client review for that Matrix-like 360-degree view of clients. Or Agent Smith.

OKERE has recently worked with financial services firms such as Deutschebank, ABN-AMRO, and TD Ameritrade to deploy global salesforce.com applications. Capital Markets represents the fifth OKERE product for financial services on AppExchange. OKERE also offers software entitled Retail Wealth Management; Wholesale Banking and Insurance; Investment Banking; and Commercial Banking.

Earlier in the week this week, Salesforce introduced the Winter ’07 version of its CRM, “a more flexible on-demand database” with hierarchical relationships, smart defaulting, new formula fields and more powerful custom objects. The workflow engine has been “significantly enhanced.” New to the Apex on-demand platform is Apex Code, which Salesforce is calling “the world’s first on-demand programming language.” Apex Code introduces the ability to write code that runs on salesforce.com servers.

According to company figures, the Apex Web services API handles more than fifty percent of salesforce.com’s 3.7 billion services transactions in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007.

OKERE is a management and technology consulting firm that focuses on software-as-a-service. Among OKERE clientele are Merrill Lynch, Symbol Technologies and TD Ameritrade. OKERE is a privately-held company, headquartered in New York with offices in Europe and Asia.
