Salesforce.com increases India customer base

Salesforce.com grew its customer base in India by 42 percent, outpacing the
company's growth in the Asia Pacific region during 2010. “We're seeing an
inflection point in India among leading enterprises who are increasingly saying
goodbye to expensive hardware and software that burn through precious capital
and yet rarely produces the promised returns,” said Steve McWhirter
VP-Enterprise Sales, Salesforce.com Asia Pacific.“The need for speed, agility,
and greater productivity at a lower IT cost has made cloud computing a clear
favorite among small to medium-sized businesses in India,” said Lee Thompson,
Senior VP-Corporate Sales, Selesforce.com, Asia Pacific.“India is the fastest
growing cloud computing market in the Asia Pacific region,” said Sanchit Vir
Gogia, Associate Research Manager-Software, Springboard Research.
