And in doing so, we’re increasingly finding that our…

Only at Dreamforce… Growing Cloud Acceptance Looking back, it’s been…

This morning, we announced some exciting company momentum — specifically around our rapidly growing customer base. Our customers (100+ and growing!) are diverse, coming from all industries, sizes and varying levels of cloud adoption.
