No ERP For Benioff, He's Thinking Bigger
October 11, 2006
Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff seemed almost resigned to the question asked by the press this week at the company's Dreamforce '06 user conference: When would the on-demand CRM application vendor expand by offering on-demand ERP apps, such as financial or supply chain management software, through either acquisitions or internal development? Benioff, with a touch of exasperation in his voice, said it's never been in the company's DNA to offer such apps. Such efforts to "be all things to all people," he said, are doomed to failure. Benioff has never been accused of understating his ambitions for his company, so when the flamboyant CEO says he doesn't want to expand into ERP, it's a pretty good bet he means it.
