Our take
Salesforce is a global cloud computing company, best known for its on-demand, comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. The company was launched to mitigate the doubts that business owners felt regarding third party companies holding their data.
By providing essential, customer-oriented CRM software, Salesforce places itself at the heart of digitised businesses. Furthermore, by building out its AI capabilities, the company removes the complexity of AI, enabling any business to deliver smarter, personalised and more predictive customer experiences.
Due to the continued innovation offered by the company, over 150,000 companies, both big and small, are growing their business with Salesforce today. Despite a tumultuous 2023 filled with activist investors, a boardroom shake-up and the unprecedented step-down of Co-CEO Bret Taylor, Salesforce continues to close several acquisition deals and managed to drive up its stock value by 96% from the end of 2022 to 2023.
