Salesforce.com’s annual Dreamforce conference in San Francisco has attracted over 135,000 registrants (online and in-person), making it the largest cloud and software industry event so far. This compares to about 90,000 registrants last year. The event has about 350 partner companies exhibiting at the expo, as well as 1,200 sessions.
In his keynote address, Marc Benioff, Salesforce’s Chairman and CEO, said his company is building the Internet of Customers by leveraging the changing workflows enabled by cloud applications. Salesforce recently achieved its first $1 billion sales quarter (up 36% YoY) and its ecosystem of partners and market share in cloud services continue to grow.
The company is introducing its new Salesforce1 Customer Platform for connecting apps, mobile devices and customer data. The release includes new APIs and mobile tools to make it easier for companies to build sales and customer-support applications.
