Unless you live completely off the grid or are baked out of your mind, you’ve likely heard of Salesforce.

Yup. December 2009. That link says the following –
The Force.com Visual Process Manager is based on technology acquired from Informavores. Salesforce.com acquired Informavores in 2009. Terms were not disclosed.
Nice – I’m not a fan of infographics these days, but this one is quite easy on the eye. Thanks, Brian.
Thanks Jose
Nice! One question…. Who are they going to buy next? They just jumped on the social bandwagon with Radiant6. Do you think they will head into the mobile space next?
Over $831M in acquisitions over 5 years! That’s incredible. Very cool infographic Brian! Surprised I didn’t see this circulating sooner…
