About

Salesforce

Salesforce sells CRM software for sales, service, marketing and commerce teams, with Agentforce AI agents, Slack, Tableau and Data 360 included in its newer editions. Sales Cloud runs from a $0 Free Suite and $25 Starter Suite up to Max at $550 per user per month, billed annually above Starter. Every Sales Cloud edition comes with a 30-day free trial and no credit card.

Marc Benioff, Parker Harris, Frank Dominguez and Dave Moellenhoff started Salesforce on March 8, 1999, in a rented one-bedroom apartment at 1449 Montgomery Street on San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill. The company listed on the New York Stock Exchange on June 23, 2004, raising $110 million at $11 a share under the ticker CRM. Fiscal 2026 revenue, for the year ended January 31, 2026, reached $41.5 billion, up 10% year over year, and remaining performance obligation stood at $72.4 billion. Agentforce annual recurring revenue hit $800 million in the same period. Salesforce reports more than 1 million customers, and IDC has ranked it the No. 1 CRM provider for 13 consecutive years. Acquisitions built much of today’s product line: MuleSoft in 2018, Tableau in 2019, Slack (closed in 2021) and Informatica, agreed in 2025. During 2026 the company signed definitive agreements to buy Braze, Contentful, Fin, Listen Labs, Loops and m3ter. Benioff is Chair and CEO. Robin Washington serves as President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer, and Miguel Milano as President and Chief Operating Officer.

DirJournal's Perspective

Editorial analysis

Salesforce commands 23% of the global CRM market by embedding AI agents directly into workflow rather than bolting them on as afterthoughts. This architectural advantage lets enterprises automate entire customer journeys without ripping out legacy systems.
