Though its revenue comes from a customer relationship management (CRM) product, Salesforce also tries capitalizing on commercial applications of social networking through acquisition. As of 2015, it is one of the most highly valued American cloud computing companies with a market capitalization of $50 billion,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CRM stock quote - Salesforce.com Inc stock price - NASDAQ.com )〕 although the company has never turned a GAAP profit since its inception in 1999. It is listed on the New York Stock Exchange with the ticker symbol CRM and is a constituent of the S&P 500 index. ==History== The company was founded in 1999 by former Oracle executive Marc Benioff, Parker Harris, Dave Moellenhoff, and Frank Dominguez as a company specializing in software as a service (SaaS). Harris, Moellenhoff and Dominguez, three software developers previously at consulting firm Left Coast Software, were introduced to Benioff through friend and former Oracle colleague Bobby Yazdani. Harris and team wrote the initial sales automation software, which launched to its first customers in the fall of 1999. In June 2004, the company went public on the New York Stock Exchange under the stock symbol CRM, raising US$110 million. Early investors include Larry Ellison, Halsey Minor, Stewart Henderson, Mark Iscaro, and Igor Sill of Geneva Venture Partners, as well as Nancy Pelosi. In July 2012, Salesforce applied to trademark the term "Social enterprise" in the US, EU and Jamaica where the term was in widespread use to describe businesses with a primarily social purpose. This was successfully challenged by a campaign called ''#notinourname'' which was launched by Social Enterprise UK resulting in Salesforce.com withdrawing their trademark application and agreeing not to use the term in their future marketing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.socialenterprise.org.uk/policy-campaigns/past-campaigns/not-in-our-name )〕 In October 2014, Salesforce announced the development of its the Customer Success Platform to tie together Salesforce's services, including sales, service, marketing, analytics, community, and mobile apps. In September 2015 Salesforce has been integrated with one of the leading Learning Management Systems, TalentLMS. The LMS gets the ability to automatically import Salesforce users, which are then given the same access to the eLearning capabilities of the platform as any user created in the usual way. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salesforce.com」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
