“We’re proud to be recognized by the CODiE judges for the sixth straight year as one of the best CRM solutions,” said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO of salesforce.com. “Over the last year, our Apex platform completely transformed how companies approach building applications and integrating systems; and we began to engage with our community in a whole new way through IdeaExchange. Being recognized for these efforts with four CODiE Award nominations is a testament to our industry leadership and the success of on-demand.”

The CODiE Awards nominations were judged by software and information industry trade journalists, national technology writers and analysts, and education technology specialists. The final round of judging will be conducted by members of SIIA, making this the only peer-review awards program in the industry.
