2. Salesforce CRM

Salesforce product overview

Most-popular CRM. Easy collaboration. Proven cloud platform.

Salesforce.com offers everything you need to grow your company, whether you’re an up-and-comer or a FORTUNE 50 corporation. With no software or hardware to install, you're up and running—and seeing a positive impact on your business—quickly.

In CRM sale opportunities, Salesforce.com leads with sales force automation (SFA) and a suite of supporting tools. The SFA was Salesforce.com's initial product entry to the software as a service market and is strong relative to much weaker marketing and customer support modules. The company's product direction appears much more focused on adding ancillary software systems as opposed to advancing current products or adding depth to the CRM software modules

Software products and modules:

• Team Edition. $995 10 user workgroup limit. Limited functionality.
• Group Edition: $1,200 per year for 5 user license.
• Professional Edition. $65 per user per month. Reduced functionality compared to Enterprise.
• Enterprise Edition. $125 per user per month.
• Unlimited Edition. Provides customers four additional value added services that raise the bar from the $125/month per user Enterprise Edition to $199 per user per month.  Unlimited permits an unlimited number of Salesforce generated applications on the AppExchange (Enterprise edition users can run a maximum of 10 AppExchange applications), increases storage per user to 120MB, provides access to Salesforce sandbox for testing, includes AppExchange mobile (via the Sendia acquisition) and training of Salesforce applications; and platinum support which includes an assigned support representative.
• Platform Edition. This version gives users the ability to install and customize downloaded applications from AppExchange without the CRM. Software developers get access to Salesforce.com's multi-tenancy infrastructure and visual point-and-click tools with which to build their applications for a fee. Also included, the Apex Web Services API, analytics and the Apex code language. The users will use the underlying Salesforce.com hosting platform with the shared common data model, security architecture, interface, version tracking, and meta-data-based application development model provided by Salesforce.com's Apex programming language and framework. Platform Edition is priced $50 per user each month to new and existing customers on Salesforce.com's Enterprise Edition service, which features the platform and ability to run up to 10 AppExchange applications, 25 custom tabs and 200 custom objects. Salesforce.com Platform Unlimited Edition is priced $100 per user per month and features the underlying platform with more than 2,000 customer objects, development sandbox, premier support and mobile capabilities.

Strengths:

• Brand. Salesforce.com is the 800 pound gorilla of the software as a service CRM industry. The company (primarily its CEO) is bold, aggressive and unapologetic.
• Third party solutions. AppExchange is a large and growing third party software directory. AppExchange can provide several types of broad solutions to compliment your salesforce.com CRM subscription.
• Innovation. Salesforce.com continues to innovate and expand its flagship on-demand CRM solution with value-added solutions such as Apex (development platform), ContentExchange (content management) and Successforce (user community).
• Value. The Professional Edition is perhaps one of the best customer relationship management subscription values.

Key Customers:

• Merrill Lynch - 25,000 seats (largest salesforce.com customer)
