About the Authors

Liz Kao: Liz was an enthusiastic early adopter of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model and has been using Salesforce for more than a decade. An early employee of Salesforce.com, she built Salesforce-centric solutions for both external clients and internal teams, including launching over one-third of the original applications on the AppExchange. Combined with a background in sales and marketing, she blends a hands-on perspective of business needs with using Salesforce (and now, other cloud products) to build solutions that scale. A veteran of the enterprise software industry, Liz lives in San Francisco. When she isn’t busy keeping up with the latest enterprise software cloud products and features, she’s enjoying all the culinary delights and Internet-signal-free natural surroundings of Northern California.

Jon Paz: Jon, a Salesforce consultant, has worked with enterprise clients to deliver world-class solutions to perplexing business challenges. Previously, he worked as an editor for a major international organization. After working with various clients and industries to implement cloud technologies, Jon has witnessed the transformative value of the product. He is an avid globetrotter, can talk to you about your business in five different languages, and is a staunch advocate for the legalization of unpasteurized cheeses!
