Define the future of software with salesforce.com
The Internet has revolutionized the software industry. Just like eBay, Amazon and Google transformed the consumer Web, Salesforce CRM has changed the very nature of business applications, with cloud computing as a breakthrough technology and business model, which according to McKinsey is “shaking the foundation of the software industry." Wired Magazine has described Salesforce CRM as "global thinkers that dominate their industry and point the way to the future."
Today, Salesforce CRM offers a multifaceted value proposition for firms in the fast-changing software industry, including world-class CRM applications, applications for the rest of your company, and the AppExchange, the iTunes of business applications. But more than that, Salesforce CRM is actively helping many software companies with their own strategies.
