Salesforce.com Connects the Social Web to Customer Service

Posted by Administrator on October 31, 2008 under CRM Software, ERP Software | Be the First to Comment

Here is a very informative article on the issues surrounding SAAS deployment. The one thing they didn’t mention is that a traditional purchase hits the capital budget, a SAAS deployment hits operating capital. Here is the snippet:
