Salesforce.com Partners with Amazon.com and Facebook

Monday, Salesforce.com Incorporated, a vendor of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions, announced that they had clinched deals with both Amazon.com Incorporated and Facebook, the partnerships being aimed at expanding their cloud computing user base.

Moreover, at the company's annual Dreamforce developers conference held  in San Francisco, Salesforce.com also unveiled a new Web site management service, Chairman and Chief Executive Marc Benioff having stated at that time that they were attempting to offer subscribers the opportunity to have their entire Internet-based business hosted by their cloud service.

The company requires a monthly fee in order to allow users access to their services, while third-party developers are permitted to sell their applications to various businesses via their force.com website.

The new website Salesforce. Com introduced on Monday enables subscribers to build internal intranets and external Web sites, which they can afterwards easily manage at no extra fee. Nevertheless, the company has revealed that if the number of page views exceeded the one covered by the subscription with up to 1 million, users would have to pay $1,000 a month more.

As for the above-mentioned partnerships, the one with Facebook entails that customers who develop apps on Salesforce.com can go on to use them on the social networking Web site.

According to Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's Chief Operating Officer (COO), the website currently has 120 million users.

Where the deal with Amazon.com Inc is concerned, Salesforce.com has informed that their subscribers would be able to build apps by using the former company’s Internet services.
