Comment on the News:
- "We're in the midst of a social revolution," said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO, salesforce.com.
"At Cloudforce Japan, we will show how our customers are using
social technologies and transforming the way they sell, service,
market, collaborate and innovate to drive business growth."
Connecting in Entirely New Ways
A social revolution is taking place around the world. There are
more than 4.5 billion social users globally having more than 150
million conversations everyday on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and
more. But the social revolution is no longer just a consumer
movement; it is creating a customer revolution for every business
today. Fortune 100 companies are experiencing 123 percent growth in
the number of fans on Facebook, while website traffic continues to
decline. IDC reports that spending on social networking is up 47
percent, the highest growth in spending for any technology
category. And, a 2012 McKinsey Global Institute study reports that
70 percent of companies have adopted social technology—and that
these social technologies have the opportunity to unlock
$1.3 trillion in business value.
