I've been humbled by the dedicated work of our PICnetters, clients, and partners that made it possible for PICnet to weather these tough storms.

We're excited to announce the availability of our J!Salesforce 1.0 release, connecting Joomla with Salesforce.com!  Even better, for a limited-time, new Soapbox clients (non-profits and socially responsible businesses) can receive J!Salesforce for FREE!

With J!Salesforce, organizations and businesses using the powerful Salesforce.com CRM can now seamlessly share data with the Joomla CMS.

This has been a long and winding road, but we're proud of the new suite of extensions, and look forward to delivering them to the world.  This release of J!Salesforce 1.0 is currently available to new and current Non-Profit Soapbox organizations and businesses.  Sign-up now!
