Forbes ranked Salesforce.com as the most innovative company. Ranked number one means they beat Apple, Amazon and well……… everyone else. http://tinyurl.com/3semrha
Salesforce.com is clearly more than a CRM company. As Paul Greenberg on ZDNet points out in his recent article, salesforce understands that workplace and personal time are not too different. What matters are the user experience and building larger communities of business users and application developers. This speaks to initiatives such as Chatter for collaboration and the recent acquisition of Heroku the open source Ruby on Rails company.
Positioning salesforce as more than a CRM company is obviously good for product differentiation. Focusing on the “Consumerization” of the workplace will help adoption by making it a seamless experience from social life. Heroku the open source company was purchased for $212 million opening the gates to a vast community of developers that will help salesforce say with even greater confidence “there’s an app for that”.
Many believe that FaceBook is a significant threat to Google. It is predicted that FaceBook will earn $1B in 2010. Google has revenues of over $26B. There is an obviously huge disparity there. FaceBook has 500,000,000 active users. What Google has is a more solid foundation (code and biz model) for business. This is more than ‘just users’.
Adwords will grow organically because of support through business apps such as Google Apps, Android and its growing ecosystem, YouTube and Google Earth. There is even tight integration with salesforce.com. Why Google has not purchased Salesforce is an open question for months if not years. While Google has business and monetization at its core, FaceBook is trying to morph into a more business/ sales model. The bottom line seems to be that Google because of reasons mentioned and its deep pockets is a freight train that is impossible to stop; at least for the foreseeable future.
