What I found most fascinating is how quickly the adoption rate is to the SaaS platform. However, with that said, it is organizations such as Salesforce.com that lead the way. Great interview and valuable message. The complexities of technology and maintenance of technology alone will drive enterprises to utilize valuable tools such as Salesforce.

George - you were very open and sharing on Salesforce.com strategy and products. From a business perspective--I say why would I go with Microsoft CRM after hearing your great explanation of your product and technology vision. It all makes perfect sense. Salesforce.com was ranked #2 behind Google as America's fastest-growing tech company, with projected EPS growth of 40% a year or so ago. You are so far out ahead of the pack in your thinking and business model. A few new things I learned today: 1) The force.com brand and platform that easily allows customers to customize their apps on the same platform (cloud computing). 2) Also, you have an App Exchange where your customers can use your tools to customize their own apps. 3) Your idea exchange or collaboration site for customers and public - great stuff/ It's staggering to think of your potential when you described that you currently have 150 million transactions per day on a multi-tenant stack. What do you think of the viability of the Internet in it's current infrastructure state to support your business? There are doom and gloom people out there saying by 2011 we will see serious bottlenecks and traffic jams on the Internet that could compromise the priority of business transactions... Anyway, great, great show. Thank you both!! Caryl Hi Stan and George:

From a business perspective–I say why would I go with Microsoft CRM after hearing your great explanation of your product and technology vision. It all makes perfect sense.

Salesforce.com was ranked #2 behind Google as America’s fastest-growing tech company, with projected EPS growth of 40% a year or so ago. You are so far out ahead of the pack in your thinking and business model.

A few new things I learned today:
1) The force.com brand and platform that easily allows customers to customize their apps on the same platform (cloud computing).
2) Also, you have an App Exchange where your customers can use your tools to customize their own apps.
3) Your idea exchange or collaboration site for customers and public - great stuff/

It’s staggering to think of your potential when you described that you currently have 150 million transactions per day on a multi-tenant stack.

What do you think of the viability of the Internet in it’s current infrastructure state to support your business?

There are doom and gloom people out there saying by 2011 we will see serious bottlenecks and traffic jams on the Internet that could compromise the priority of business transactions…

Anyway, great, great show. Thank you both!!

Yet another great piece of material!

I believe Saleforece.com has found the key that has been missing for so long; allowing the customer to determine the need and the use rather than forcing the customer to make do. Thanks for yet another informative interview. Sheilah Hi Stan and George,

Excellent interview. I believe Saleforece.com has found the key that has been missing for so long; allowing the customer to determine the need and the use rather than forcing the customer to make do. Thanks for yet another informative interview.
