And this is true even if the revenue associated with this deal is small. I was simply pointing out that the simplistic reporting elsewhere pointing to the $500 price was devoid of critical analysis. In all, this is a good thing for SaaS.Anshu Sharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16808179818443881370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13575764.post-80265208363414374092007-03-01T11:57:00.000-08:002007-03-01T11:57:00.000-08:00The 25K mark is a big win not just from the revenue perspective (it does contribute big enough, if not significantly big), but also from a perspective of brand equity and marketability. Salesforce now has crossed a chasm of sorts into the large enterprise, replacing in-house enterprise-wide systems, thereby posing a direct threat to the Siebels of the world. Establishing this kind of scalability on a hosted model is not just a boost to Salesforce, it's a validation for the whole SaaS market itself.Hero Hiralalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09388592362774520675noreply@blogger.com
