Salesforce.com, the market and technology leader in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), today announced that Salesforce Summer ’08 is live to all 43,600 salesforce.com customers. Salesforce Summer ’08 represents salesforce.com’s 26th release in 9 years and delivers the power of cloud computing to the enterprise. Part of the Force.com platform, Visualforce is now live in every edition of Salesforce, enabling users to develop any interface entirely in the cloud.

Salesforce Content and Salesforce Ideas are also delivering new levels of customer success in Salesforce Summer ’08 including the support of external communities, delivering true Web 2.0 collaboration capabilities to users globally. In total, more than 50 new CRM features are also live with Salesforce Summer ’08, raising the bar for industry innovation.

“Consumers have been enjoying Web 2.0 features like voting and social networking on consumer web applications like Digg and Facebook for years. But traditional enterprise applications are still stuck in the ‘90s,” said George Hu, executive vice president marketing, applications and education at salesforce.com. “Salesforce.com is changing all that by delivering Web 2.0 interfaces and collaboration technologies in Salesforce Summer 08.”

“As the CRM market continues to evolve, the integration of Web 2.0 technologies into CRM processes is a key step in driving greater end user productivity by making applications more intuitive to use,” said Rebecca Wettemann of Nucleus Research. “Salesforce.com's advances in content and ideas management - as well as the release of Visualforce - in Salesforce Summer '08 gives developers more tools and options to drive greater collaboration and increased productivity for users.” /PR
