Salesforce

edit

Salesforce is an on-demand Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution vendor. According to their website, more companies use Salesforce than any other on-demand CRM.

Salesforce was founded in 1999 by former Oracle executive Marc Benioff, and went public June 2004. Salesforce has been a pioneer in developing enterprise platforms through its innovative AppExchange directory of on-demand applications, and its Force.com “Platform as a Service” (PaaS) API for extending Salesforce. As of April 2008, the company boasts over 38,100 customers and over 900,000 subscribers.
