Description: Change the way the world does business at salesforce.com, the global leader in software as a service (SaaS). More companies trust their vital customer and sales data to salesforce.com than any other on-demand customer relationship management (CRM) provider in the world. Salesforce.com has evolved from a startup founded by four people in a cramped San Francisco apartment 9 years ago to an organization with more than 2,700 employees. For fiscal year 2008, we reported revenue of approximately $748.7 million, an increase of 51 percent from fiscal 2007.

Why? We deliver integrated, customizable business applications for companies ranging from small nonprofits to global enterprises. Or maybe it’s because Salesforce is so easy to learn and use. Or it could be the unprecedented speed with which our customers see real, tangible ROI. Or maybe it’s because of our 100-percent dedication to the success of our customers. In fact, more than 43,000 companies and 1,000,000 subscribers worldwide depend on Salesforce to manage their sales, marketing, customer service, and other critical business functions.
