		<description>Hi Adam,

Thanks for your comment. You raise another really important point, and that is how to break a tie between two solutions that are really close. What were your criteria for deciding between Salesforce and Oracle? 

I blogged about breaking ties at  http://tinyurl.com/yk2next. I&#039;d love to know how you went about it at Starbucks, and your thoughts on the methodology I use. Thanks!</description>

		<description>Hi Susan,

          I understand how difficult it is to qualify  a SAAS vendor.I have been working for Starbucks for some time and we have the same difficulty as yours, we had the ultimate tie between Sales force and Oracle Ondemand, we opted for Oracle Ondemand and we are working with a company called ATHENE GROUP who&#039;s a Oracle Certified partner to implement Oracle Ondemand at our organization which is going pretty well.</description>
