What Can You Achieve in 10 Years?

Not only was Salesforce.com at CeBIT a smashing success, it also kicked off salesforce.com’s 10^th anniversary in Australia celebrations. Traditionally, the tenth anniversary is known as the tin or aluminium anniversary, salesforce.com celebrated with some incredible live music, graffiti artists and acrobatics.

Since opening its first Australian office in 2003, salesforce.com has been leading the enterprise cloud computing industry in the Australian market. Today, salesforce.com is the #1 CRM platform globally and is delivering the leading sales, customer service and marketing technologies to Australian businesses, including Lorna Jane, TripaDeal, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and more, to help them transform into customer companies. 

The Salesforce.com Foundation has also worked tirelessly over the past decade to improve the Australian community. The Salesforce.com Foundation and salesforce.com employees have delivered the 1/1/1 model to Australia over the past decade by:

• Donating Salesforce product to more than 500 nonprofit organizations
• Volunteering more than 14,500 hours
• Matching more than AUD$300,000 in employee donations to nonprofit organizations
• Providing major grants to the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence, Cerebral Palsy Alliance, WorkVentures and Sydney Homeless Connect

Our CEO Marc Benioff has said, "People overestimate what you can accomplish in a year, and underestimate what you can accomplish in a decade."

I am always impressed with what our customers, our foundation and company has been able to accomplish. And as we look to the next decade I can't help but wonder, what will we be able to accomplish next?
