Salesforce.com Achieves On-Demand CRM Market Leadership Across Europe, Middle East and Africa

7:14 am   -   March 19th, 2007

Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM) , the market and technology leader in on-demand business services, today announced that salesforce.com EMEA is the leader in the fastest growing on-demand CRM market in the world – Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The on-demand revolution is accelerating across EMEA and salesforce.com is leading the way, with industry analyst Ovum validating that salesforce.com is #1 in market share across EMEA in its CRM forecast report, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars being named salesforce.com EMEA’s 5,000th customer.

Salesforce.com is the leader in EMEA at a time when the market is poised for huge growth. EMEA will surpass worldwide growth rates for on-demand in 2007 – a market Gartner also estimates to grow from $6.3 billion in 2006 to $19.3 billion by the end of 2011 (Gartner Press Release, Gartner says Service Providers Must Prepare Now for the Software as a Service Wave, March 6, 2007). However, salesforce.com EMEA is even out-pacing these rates with 72 percent year over year revenue growth and 77 percent Q4 revenue growth compared to the same quarter a year ago.

The broadband connectivity boom, decreased prices for high speed Internet services, and the pressure for IT to develop solutions at a quicker pace have all combined to produce the current high-growth environment in EMEA. As the pioneer and established leader, salesforce.com is well positioned to further accelerate customer adoption of on-demand applications.

Already, 5,000 leading European companies have chosen salesforce.com for all of their on-demand CRM needs. Recent customer wins include Allianz Cornhill Commercial, ALD Automotive, Astratech, Deutsche Bank and KONE, who recently increased their total deployment to more than 2,000 subscribers.

Salesforce.com EMEA’s latest customer addition, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, is salesforce.com’s 5,000th EMEA customer.

“Our momentum is spreading like wildfire,” said Dr. Stephen Garnett, chairman and co-president of salesforce.com EMEA. “From Sweden to South Africa, and Iceland to Israel, companies in 49 countries throughout the EMEA region have chosen salesforce.com for its security, reliability and most importantly, its focus on customer success.”
