OnDemand Line od Business (1) What are end users seeking from their Line of Business cloud solution?

In order to gain a deeper understanding of the end users wish list, we spent countless hours in conversation with current and potential customers, soliciting feedback and gleaning customer insights. Thus the information here is based not on personal opinion, but on in-depth customer feedback.
