And from what I read elsewhere, most of the gains made by Microsoft are from Outlook 365 – not the other cloud based tools. So, while Salesforce is not making the HUGE gains they used to, they are still the dominant player in the Cloud computing space.
We’re users of both, partners of one, and I’m feeling pretty optimistic about the prospects of Saas, and PaaS…
BUT, it is clear that Microsoft is making gains in the cloud, and it is also clear that Cloud based computing is becoming the dominant platform for IT – who could’ve predicted that 12 years ago when Salesforce was a baby?
