The information was revealed to Business Insider\u2019s Julie Bort by the world\u2019s number uno CRM company\u2019s co-founders Marc Benioff and Parket Harris.<\/p>\n<p>According to Business Insider\u2019s report, during his participation in the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, Benioff started thinking about blockchain technology and how it could be used to build products that would complement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\">Salesforce\u2019 product portfolio.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It seems a conversation with an attendee who participated in the crypto conference, which took place at the same time in the Intercontinental Hotel, made Benioff <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/cryptocurrency\">think about blockchain technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benioff<\/strong> said<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I had been thinking a lot about what is Salesforce\u2019s strategy around blockchain, and what is Salesforce\u2019s strategies around cryptocurrencies and how will we relate to all of these things. He is actually a big believer in the power of serendipity, and he said just by having that conversation, it started him down the road to thinking more seriously about Salesforce\u2019s role in this developing technology. He said the more he thought about it, the more he believed that Salesforce could make use of Blockchain. Then suddenly something clicked for him and he saw a way to put blockchain and cryptocurrencies to work in Salesforce. That\u2019s kind of how it works and I hope by Dreamforce we will have a blockchain and cryptocurrency solution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Benioff believes that ideas come from paying attention and listening. The dialogue he had with the person in Davos has enabled Benioff to recognize an opportunity to expand Salesforce in a meaningful manner. The co-founder believes that success depends on choosing the right ideas which are most important for customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benioff<\/strong> added <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThat\u2019s kind of how it works and I hope by Dreamforce we will have a blockchain and cryptocurrency solution.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dreamforce is Salesforce\u2019s annual customer conference. It is planned to be held this year from September 25-28 in San Francisco. By then, if everything goes as planned, the company could be announcing a blockchain product during the event.<\/p>\n<h2>About Salesforce<\/h2>\n<p>Founded in 1999, Salesforce pioneered the revolutionary idea of replacing traditional desktop CRM software with CRM in the cloud, making it accessible anytime from anywhere. Today, the company&#8217;s innovative cloud platform is the world\u2019s #1 CRM solution. All Salesforce products run entirely in the cloud so there\u2019s no expensive setup costs, no maintenance and employees can work from any device with an internet connection \u2013 smartphone, tablet or laptop.<\/p>\n<p>CRM can be easily used by both small businesses and large scale enterprises. This approach has made Sales Cloud the world\u2019s number 1 CRM system.
