“Salesforce has spent over a decade democratizing enterprise applications in the cloud,” said Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO, salesforce.com. “The Assistly acquisition doubles down on that strategy by putting us at the heart of the new trend of customer service help desk applications that have instant sign up and zero-touch onboarding, expanding the potential reach of the Service Cloud to millions of companies around the world.”
More than 17,000 companies use the Salesforce Service Cloud to connect with customers across both traditional and social channels; engage directly with their customers over Facebook, Twitter and other social communities; and leverage mobile capabilities like Apple’s FaceTime.
