Salesforce delivered another exceptional year of growth and customer
success. We reached $6 billion in annual revenue faster than any other
enterprise software company, and we expect to surpass $8 billion in
fiscal year 2017, on our way to our next milestone of $10 billion.
Fiscal year 2016 marked the year that Salesforce became a Fortune 500
company, and was once again ranked by Forbes as one of the “World’s
Most Innovative Companies” and recognized by Fortune Magazine as
one of the “Most Admired Software Companies” and one of the “Top
Ten Companies to Work For.” Our success is driven by our undivided
focus on making our customers successful and helping them connect
to their customers in a whole new way.
We are in the Age of the Customer, where powerful technology forces
driven by the cloud, social, mobile, data science, and the Internet
of Things have opened a door for every company to transform their
business models and customer experiences.
With our industry-leading Customer Success Platform, Salesforce is
uniquely positioned to bring our customers into the future. We meet
with thousands of CEOs across every industry and region, and they are
turning to Salesforce as trusted advisors to help them digitally transform
their businesses and become more customer-centric companies. As
a result, we hit an all-time high in large transactions this year and are
winning some of the largest and most strategic transactions in the
enterprise software industry. As we look to the year ahead, we will
continue to deliver the industry’s most exciting, innovative products and
invest in opportunities to expand our market leadership.
Salesforce is not just transforming businesses, we are also transforming
our communities. Since inception, the Salesforce Foundation,
Salesforce.org, and Salesforce have together given nearly $120 million
in grants, more than 1.3 million hours to the community, and our
service offerings to nearly 28,000 nonprofit and higher education
organizations.
I would like to extend our gratitude to our more than 150,000
customers and partners for their inspiration, and our more than
20,000 employees around the world for living our core values — trust,
innovation, growth, and equality — and delivering customer success
every day. And, our gratitude to you, our stockholders, for your
continued support of Salesforce.
Aloha,
