Salesforce DIMDIM Acquisition: Web Conferencing Service Goes To Salesforce
Salseforce has acquired DIMDIM for $31 million. Founded in 2007, Dimdim has created critical real-time communication technologies such as presence, messaging and screen sharing.
"Facebook has fundamentally changed the way we communicate in our personal lives," said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO, salesforce.com. "The acquisition of Dimdim will help salesforce.com deliver to the enterprise the same integrated collaboration and communication experience that made Facebook the world's most popular Internet site."
"From our start, Dimdim has focused on enabling real-time communication in the cloud, with no software," said DD Ganguly, CEO, Dimdim. "Salesforce.com gives us the opportunity to apply our expertise and align our vision of real-time, social enterprise software in the cloud â at a scale that wouldn't have been otherwise possible."
