Marc Benioff: "One thing that no competitor can match these days is the Salesforce Platform, which gained dramatic momentum in the second quarter. We logged our first 100-million transaction day in the quarter and for the period. Our transactions totaled approximately 6.8 billion, a new record. While we delivered 119% more transactions this quarter, we delivered them at an average time of less than 0.25 seconds each, a 22% year-over-year improvement in speed. More remarkably, we delivered all this performance at greater than 99.9% availability. Of course, it's all available for you to see every day at trust.salesforce.com. None of our competitors; not Microsoft, not Oracle, not SAP provides this level of transparency or even the kind of website that we've made popular at trust.salesforce.com....calls to our API accounted for more than half of our transactions, indicating deeper and deeper integration with our service. That integration capability took a big leap forward this quarter, with our introduction of Salesforce SOA. This is a powerful set of technologies for enterprises as they continue to move to on-demand. We had our first-ever developer conference back in May, and now our developer community numbers more than 48,000. On the AppExchange, 348 ISVs have contributed to the 642 applications now available. Customers have now completed more than 251,000 test drives and 32,000 installs of on-demand applications from the AppExchange. Our platform is where partners go to build their own businesses into the next Salesforce.com. "
