its a tool where salespeople are supposed to log every single thing they do. its a lot like torture. i guess its so you can check whether they dont sell because of the economy or whether theyre lazy shits.

also its got an api and i wrote the worst code in my life against it for a plug-in for an employer once

they have these big tacky signs on their offices that say SOFTWARE with a red circle and a slash though it and it's like wait are you guys running paper forms?

sales is the most boring and horrible thing in business so if you never have to deal with crm consider yourself lucky

p much this, you know how people here are always joking that their company wouldn't run except for some old access DB or giant excel spreadsheet? that's going to be salesforce in a few years

but your SME's can customize it to fit their business processes without the help of a developer. departments can leverage shared knowledge to discover new markets and increase loyalty in existing customers. best of all our cloud based SaaS platform minimizes initial capital requirements allowing you to invest in your business not your infrastructure. motherfucker!

there is benefit in outsourcing to 'teh cloud' like salesforce. they can afford better equipment like exadatas, better design, architecture, etc all because of economy of scale. salesforce datacenter is much better than your retard company setting up some dell garbage in a colo srry

i was thinking more about the data storage. i never used salesforce but since its cloud i am assuming the customer doesn't have access to the raw data and data schema.

there's export tools. but there's that.

tbh I'd probably rather have my data secured by sales force than some small companies ( even lots of big ones) it team.

wife literally asked me what salesforce was a few nights ago, because of their SF event I guess, and I gave her a hand-wavey answer because I didn't really know but it looks like I was pretty close to the real answer.
