Salesforce.com CEO: Oracle, SAP Validate Our Cloud Strategy

Grazed from Talkincloud. Author: Joe Panatierri.

As Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and SAP (NYSE: SAP) continue to expand their cloud computing platforms, entrenched rival Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) CEO Marc Benioff insists all the competitive moves further validate his company’s cloud strategy. Moreover, Benioff believes a new generation of executives is calling the shots in Corporate America, opening the door even wider for Salesforce.com.

“What I’ve always said is we need that validation [from rivals],” said Benioff last week during CloudForce New York…

• the cloud is never going to happen; and
• multi-tenancy is not real”
