Summary: Dreamforce 2010, the latest gathering of Salesforce.com customers and partners, marks an inflection point for the company. With new products to fuel growth, and a track record of execution, Salesforce.com joins Microsoft, Oracle and SAP as a leader in enterprise applications. The company (MGI-Index: 996) does not currently compete in core transactional business systems (e.g., ERP, financials), nor is it likely to do so anytime soon. Where it distinguishes itself is around its vision of applications in the cloud, and its desire to be the dominant platform for enterprise cloud applications.
