If there is one company that has mastered the art of the cloud, it is Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM). It recently released its fourth quarter results that continued to outpace market expectations. And, there doesn’t appear to be any slowdown in sight.

Salesforce’s Expansion Plans

To continue to drive market expansion, Salesforce continued to enter into strategic tie-ups. Last quarter, it announced a tie-up with Alphabet that will result in the integration of Google’s G Suite and Analytics products with Salesforce’s range of cloud-based CRM products. The partnership addresses a growing need among customers – to be able to see a holistic view across Salesforce’s CRM systems and Analytics. As part of the tie-up, Google will offer a company-wide promotion to give free G Suite licenses for up to one year to all Salesforce customers that are new to G Suite. Additionally, the integration of Salesforce with Google Analytics will allow joint customers to merge sales, marketing, and advertising data stored in both systems.

Earlier this year, Salesforce also strengthened its ties with IBM. The expansion of the partnership will bring together IBM Cloud and Watson services with Salesforce Quip and Salesforce Service Cloud Einstein so that companies would be able to connect with their customers and collaborate more effectively. As a part of this agreement, the AI tools of both IBM and Salesforce will work together to build custom applications that can be embedded to Salesforce solutions. These apps will help increase the effectiveness of sales teams using the applications. Users will benefit from new AI-driven recommendations for next best actions and will be able to utilize personalized, customer-triggered interactions based on near real-time interactions.

Earlier this year, Salesforce announced the acquisition Attic Labs, an open-source decentralized database. Attic Labs is known for its flagship product, Noms, that lets users replicate data and edit it offline on multiple machines. Noms is able to sync up the edits while versioning them so that edits don’t destroy previous versions of data. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Salesforce plans to leverage Noms to extend collaboration capabilities on Quip, Salesforce’s document collaboration platform.

Questions for the Salesforce Board

Today there is an unprecedented opportunity within SaaS. Salesforce has already built critical mass for its product and is now looking to expand its product and market base. The new capabilities that the Google Analytics integration will bring to it is one innovative method of this expansion. What other innovations does Salesforce have in mind? India, especially, is full of SaaS companies with entrepreneurs and investors looking for exits. Is Salesforce looking to acquire some companies from the Indian market?
