Salesforce与甲骨文合作

曾几何时，Salesforce和甲骨文（Oracle ）是貌似最不可能合作的两家公司。但今年六月，他们出乎意料地宣布将进行一项为期九年的合作，让行业大吃一惊。Salesforce 可以利用甲骨文的数据库和用于ＨＲ部门的Fusion人力资本管理软件，而甲骨文则可以运行Salesforce 的客户关系管理软件。Salesforce 的ＣＥＯ马克•贝尼奥夫在新闻发布会上表示：“这是一个新世界，这是一个新时代，Salesforce 和甲骨文这样的公司携手合作就是最好的证据。”

Salesforce and Oracle saddle up

At one time, Salesforce (CRM) and Oracle (ORCL, Fortune 500) seemed the unlikeliest of duos. But last June, they surprised the industry when they announced a nine-year partnership. Included in the agreement, Salesforce would use Oracle's database and Fusion human capital management software for HR departments. Meanwhile, Oracle would run Salesforce's customer relationship management software. "This is a new world, this is a new time," Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff explained during a press conference then. "Companies like Salesforce and Oracle working together are evidence that that's how it has to be."
