GOOG Cheaper Than CRM?
November 29, 2007
An interesting take on the pricing of Salesforce stock (NYSE: CRM) by Elizabeth Harrow of Shaeffer Research. In her opinion, despite having a high valuation to cash flow, CRM continues to be a good pick.
“The fundamental picture for CRM also looks solid. In fact, as the article notes, “Salesforce offers what many believe is the future of software” by providing access to its business-accounting applications through an Internet hub. And, happily, that’s one area where it’s not competing with Google, Apple, or Microsoft.”

November 28, 2007
Newsback.com Admin Weblink posted this interesting article about the competition between Oracle, Salesforce.com and Netsuite back in 2005. The piece was such a good read it deserved some mention. It was a bit late when I came across it and admittedly I figured the date was in the past but didn’t realize just how old this post was until I had read the entire thing.
Editor’s note: Nicolas you’re email address doesn’t work! Get in touch if you want to write for us..
