Salesforce eyes partners in vertical push

Salesforce's (CRM) Industries Business Unit will use partners to deliver industry-specific cloud software solutions for six verticals - Financial services/insurance, healthcare/life sciences, retail/consumer products, telecom/media, public sector and automotive/manufacturing.

Salesforce's message is unspecific, but it looks like it plans to leverage its mobile-friendly Salesforce1 app development platform.

Thus far, Salesforce has generally left the development of industry-specific apps to partners such as Veeva.

Workday co-CEO Aneel Bhusri recently called industry-specific apps the least developed of what he considers the five key enterprise cloud software segments.
