Salesforce.com is the proven leader in on-demand Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and empowers customers to stand out from the crowd. They do so by delivering the most innovative technology and making it as easy as possible to share and manage information throughout your organisation. Their solutions combine award-winning functionality, proven integration, global capabilities, and the best user experience. That's why Salesforce has earned the trust of its customers - and a customer satisfaction rate of over 95% - along with top industry honours.

They are the global leader in fully integrating business and the community by proving an inspiring and innovative service model for integrated philanthropy. Salesforce.com gives 1% of time, equity and profits to the Salesforce Foundation to harness the energy of the salesforce.com community to make a positive difference in people's lives through service and technology.

Marc Benioff, the founder of Salesforce.com, is an advocate of compassionate capitalism and believes that "the value of a corporation should be fully distributed not only to its leaders, but also to the communities in which it operates and the global community as a whole." He set up the Salesforce Foundation in order to fulfil this view.

Salesforce.com gives 1% of our employee’s time to volunteering. That is 4 hours per month per employee – or 6 paid days a year. Last year 100% of the company departments participate in this program and the 200 employees worldwide donated thousands of hours of volunteer time to the community.
