"Marc Benioff is out to prove that the current crop of enterprise applications is destined for the scrap heap. During a Face to Face interview, Benioff told ZDNet's Dan Farber that his mission is to destroy enterprise software as it exists today. So far, the 38-year-old former Oracle executive and Larry Ellison protege hasn't destroyed the traditional software model, but the company he founded four years ago as a utility-like, on demand software service is gaining converts. "

"Today salesforce.com hosts customer relationship management software for more 6,400 accounts and 86,000 active users in 110 countries paying about $65 per month, according to the company. Blue chip customers include AOL/Time Warner, Avis/Budget, Cigna, General Electric, General Motors, and Nokia. The company is on track to generate $100 million in revenue for this year--double from the previous year--and earn a profit. In our interview, Benioff talks about his business model, strategy for acquiring customers, the competitive landscape, and his vision for the future of software."
