Why the Name "Cloud Pathfinder"?

Cloud is for cloud computing, which is how the Salesforce product is delivered, and is a common theme in the Salesforce ecosystem. What makes the firm truly unique is the Pathfinder moniker, which refers to a member of a specialized group of military soldiers. This elite force of Pathfinders goes into combat, prior to the main assault, with visual and electronic signaling devices to guide aircraft to the drop zone and gliders to their landing zones, much like how our elite team of Salesforce consultants guide Sales teams to exceed their revenue targets.
