Marc Benioff

Famous quotes by Marc Benioff:

"When I was at Oracle, we watched Computer Associates buy all those mainframe software companies and milk them for their license revenue. I never thought that's what Oracle would be doing one day, and yet, here it is,"

"Following the proposed acquisition of Siebel by Oracle many existing Siebel employees may be concerned about their career prospects, ... We want to offer them an alternative to an environment of declining commissions, confused customers and uncertainty around career viability."

"We would be delighted to hear from any Siebel employee that would like to join our company that meets our rigorous standard for excellence and dedication to customer success,"

"Please note that most - but not all - Siebel employees are currently eligible for hire at salesforce.com today and that the recruiting department will screen for eligibility,"

"We believe in the art of war. We are trying to get our competition to attack us with angry, virulent energy, so we can transform that into larger market share."

"We have competed against [Microsoft] in the CRM market since 2002 and they have failed to deliver a competitive product. They just cancelled version two of that legacy application and skipped ahead to three. In the meantime, we are on the 18th generation of our service. Customers are tired of waiting for Microsoft to innovate."

"[Benioff contends that this approach will eventually change the entire structure of his industry. Software over the Web -- commonly called on-demand -- accounted for less than 10% of the $46 billion in corporate software sold last year. But he says creating an open marketplace for on-demand software will help cause the decline of the big, complex, and expensive corporate applications sold by the likes of SAP ( SAP ) and Oracle Corp. ( ORCL ).] It's a big leap for us, ... We think it will show the world the next step for on-demand computing, just as we showed the world the first step."

"What if there was an eBay of applications, where companies could buy and sell software, running on our platform? ... What if there was an iTunes Music Store of online applications?"

"They have created a culture of acquisition instead of innovation. It's a lot easier just to write big checks than it is to innovate."

"Microsoft's whole strategy,"
