Does seem like quite a lot for a software company. Could hire quite a few devs with a billion dollars. I imagine most of the price could be attributed to Deman

Does seem like quite a lot for a software company. Could hire quite a few devs with a billion dollars. I imagine most of the price could be attributed to Demandware's existing customer relationships and Demandware's employees, although the latter is difficult to value especially considering that most folks worth their salt are out as soon as their options vest.
- vasaulys 10y agoDoes Salesforce pursue the same model of customer acquisition as Oracle does? I know Oracle is known to sell to existing customers additional products & services, so Salesforce might be "acquiring" new customers if there is little overlap in current customer base. It seems highly unlikely this sort of acquisition is for the technology alone.
