  • Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) became the proving ground for software as a service with  its Web alternative to premises-based sales force automation applications, and  dozens of SaaS companies followed. Salesforce's next act: platform as a service.
  • Salesforce has adopted a multitenant architecture, in which servers and other IT  resources are shared by customers rather than dedicated to one account
  • The proof is in the sales figures. Salesforce's revenue grew to $248 million in  the quarter ended April 30, a 53% increase over the same period a year ago,  keeping it on pace to become the first billion-dollar company to generate almost  all of its sales from cloud computing
