"Salesforce's ability to seamlessly integrate data captured offline with online systems, is of immense help to our field sales team who need to track and update customer data on regular basis but do not have access to internet connectivity at all times. Salesforce delivers all of the benefits of a world-class CRM system within a cost-effective 'pay as you go' model, which fits perfectly with Dr. Reddy's 'quality without the cost' ethos."

With cloud computing, there are no hidden costs in terms of hardware, software, or 22% annual maintenance fees. You know exactly what you're going to pay for, and people just love using Salesforce CRM."
