Salesforce.com is massively expensive at scale.  In fact, our compre hensive study of over 20 leading customer relationship management (CRM) software providers again reveals that Salesforce.com has the highest total cost of ownership (TCO) in the market, meaning that Salesforce.com is quite simply the most expensive way you can furnish your organization with CRM software.

A super majority of clients are economically sub-optimized in their Salesforce.com investments.  At NET(net), we have seen very serious problems with the commercial arrangements (among other areas).  In fact, due to our extensive work in this area, we have developed the world’s best pricing benchmarks.  Whether you believe you got a great deal on Salesforce.com or not, you should definitely price benchmark your agreements.  Why?  Because we have found that over 94% of the agreements we’ve evaluated fall short of commercial optimization, potentially costing our clients hundreds of millions of euros, pounds, and dollars more than they should pay every year.

With just a few simple questions, we can quickly assess your Salesforce.com commercial arrangement, and give you very precise feedback on how your discounts stack up to not only the market averages, but also to your current maximum eligibility based on your variables, and even what a Pareto optimal discount could be should you be able to optimize those variables.  In just a few seconds, we can produce for you a Federated Market Intelligence™ report which shows a similar chart (click to enlarge graph):

In addition to this extremely valuable information, we will provide analyst commentary that will highlight these details, and what it means to you in terms of the potential annual savings you could achieve with an optimized deal, and even suggest some ways you could improve your variables to achieve higher levels of discounts.
