It can help you support BYOD
Salesforce Mobile gives customers’ employees access to their sales force developer community with or without WiFi access.

The customer relationship management (CRM) company’s opening a data centre in the UK
Salesforce is pushing on Europe with a data centre due to open in Slough come August. The firm also plans to open up data centres in France and Germany by 2015, as well as bolstering its workforce by 500.
It’s had some criticism over its analytics capabilities
According to The Register, co-founder Parker Harris has qualms over Salesforce’s analytics: he is quoted by the website saying "We could and should have solved more on analytics, but it’s hard to do it all".
