The BIG Salesforce buy out –
All you wanted to know
Sources with insider knowledge revealed
to Bloomsberg News that Microsoft has
recently made a bid for taking-over
Salesforce.com after Salesforce was first
approached by another would-be buyer,
in all probability Oracle.
Salesforce is now engaged in
consultations with two investment banks
to determine whether to turn away the
bidders or to work out a SALE!
Is there a truth in the RUMORS ?
Salesforce is the market leader in CRM; it’s naturally a tempting target for anyone with
enough cash on their hands.
$47.01 billion is a huge and if this actually comes through, only a handful of Fortune 100
companies such as Oracle, Microsoft, IBM or SAP can afford it.
We are just saying !!!
What’s adding fuel to fire ?
• Microsoft and Salesforce, once bitter rivals, are of late starting to cozy up with one
another
• With its own CRM lagging behind, Microsoft’s acquisition of Salesforce would allow the
software biggie to expand itself in the CRM space
• Salesforce itself may be amenable to a take-over, as the company was involved in
strategic-alliance discussions with SAP SE last year.
Impact of take over
• The deal is not likely to change much in the day-to-day workings of the cloud
• End users, especially existing Salesforce and Microsoft customers stand to gain.
• As for other players, the clear-cut winners would most likely be large system
integrators such as Perficient and other solution providers
What the future holds ?
Salesforce’s take-over by Microsoft is by no means a done deal or even confirmed !
Sources disclose that Microsoft finds the market
cap of approximately $49 billion too high, but
the fact remains that with more than $92 billion
in cash, Microsoft could very well afford it and
may just be setting the stage for negotiations.
This isin’t over !!
