Salesforce.com Wins "Editors' Choice" from PC Magazine

SAN FRANCISCO - December 11, 2007 - Salesforce.com [NYSE: CRM], the market and technology leader in on-demand business services, today announced that Salesforce Unlimited Edition has received "Editors' Choice" honors from PC Magazine as a top of the line on-demand CRM application and platform.  Salesforce Unlimited Edition is salesforce.com's flagship solution for maximizing CRM success and extending it across the enterprise on the Force.com platform.

According to PC Magazine, "With the release of salesforce.com Unlimited Edition, its latest platform, the company is clearly hoping to expand its horizons. The idea is that customers will use the service for all kinds of enterprise applications beyond CRM. The goal is ambitious, but the enhancements to the platform's architecture and features should cause IT administrators to rethink what to expect from an on-demand platform."

The article goes on to discuss new application development on the Force.com platform: "Salesforce.com has created a strong development environment that lets programmers add more significant customizations and build new applications. [Apex Code] should significantly improve the performance of many applications and also enable new capabilities, such as transactional support, that are critical when building enterprise applications."

Finally the review summarizes, "Overall, what I liked most about Salesforce.com is the way it allows users to adapt the environment to fit their business needs. This is a mature platform."
