Haha. I kinda hoped that too but am still left wondering. I know back 20 years ago it was a CRM. I worked for at least one company who spent years and millions trying to replace their homegrown CRM with Salesforce. I know it can support customer help desk things too and even has a knowledge base feature.
I’m sure somewhere somehow it can probably do a bunch of other “enterprise” things and somebody somewhere is probably using it for their general ledger or doing payroll through it somehow… but I have no idea if that is true.
- theandrewbailey 2y agoSalesforce has been on a buying spree over the last 10 years.[0] Not only do they have have that CRM, they bought ExactTarget, an email marketing system, now Marketing Cloud. They bought Demandware and CloudCraze for their B2C and B2B storefront platforms. And don't forget Chat Cloud, I mean, Slack.
