Nonprofits using Advanced S-Controls and Apex

I want to show you how a particular nonprofit is using Apex code: the Center for Employment Opportunities (http://www.ceoworks.org).  They demo’d their Salesforce configuration at the NYC Nonprofit User Group (run by Lisa Glass-Kornstein, just back from her honeymoon!).  They use Apex to do complicated business logic like cross-object verification and data transfers based on triggers.  I know Jessie Grenfell from CEO is going to update this presentation, but I figured I’d get it out there so people can see it.

Are you using S-controls or Apex in your organization?  What business process are you solving with these tools?

Using Salesforce in NYC Public Schools

I thought this presentation from Susan Harrison at the NYC Department of Education was really interesting about how they use Salesforce in the Bronx Lab School, and several other NYC Public schools.  The principal, Marc Sternberg, was brought on stage during Marc Benioff’s keynote at Dreamforce.
