SalesForce.com: Creating Software for Success

Behind the success of many modern day companies is a program or software that toils day and night, 365 days a year, performing duties that would take millions of man hours. Not known to many, SalesForce.com is the company that provides this type of software to some of the top global companies like Google.

Founded in 1999 by former Oracle Executive Marc Benioff, Frank Dominguez, Dave Moellenhoff, and Parker Harris, the company specializes in customer relationship management (CRM) products that help companies organize the work of their sales people.  Their CRM product line includes Force.com, The Sales Cloud, The Service Cloud, App Exchange, and Work.com, to name a few.

The company has its headquarters in San Francisco, California. In 2011, the company reported revenues of over $2.2 billion. SalesForce.com was named by Forbes as one of the most innovative companies in the United States, and listed by Fortune in the list of 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2013.
