    I’ve heard of one of these, and IBM has history, brand recognition and rolls off the tongue better.

      sfdc (Salesforce dot com) is one of the biggest CRMs in the world and pretty much runs every sales department out there, adp (automatic data processing) is one of the biggest payroll systems in the world.

      it’s highly likely you’ve interacted with either or both but maybe in a white-labelled way (e.g. all of Carmax’s computer systems run entirely off Salesforce)

            same here, but we called it salesforce.

            and absolutely everything related to it was called that: salesforce support team == salesforce

            salesforce cloud == salesforce

            salesforce time share seminar == salesforce

            guy who used to work at saleseforce == salesforce.

        adp (automatic data processing) is one of the biggest payroll systems in the world.

        i always wondered what adp meant; i just assumed it was initials of the rich guys who create it. lol
