SalesForce.com Teams with Facebook and Amazon

SalesForce.com, a company that prides itself in its customer relationship management, is teaming with Facebook and Amazon through several outlets. Its platform as a service tool, Force.com will serve as an outlet for both companies.

Salesforce’s partnership with Amazon and Facebook create many conveniences. Facebook’s partnership with SalesForce will enable SalesForce customers to create applications on Force.com and streamline them onto Facebook. For instance, a recruiter application could benefit a company looking for employees. The Amazon deal creates more storage space for developers. A developer in need of extra storage, for example, could offload some of their data onto Amazon’s S3 storage service. SalesForce’s impact on Facebook and Amazon will be tested in the coming months, but the convenience that the applications bring appear promising.
