As #Salesforce bites its nails and tries to convince regulators to do some intervening in #Microsoft 's #LinkedIn acquisition, Microsoft is pulling its boxing gloves on. In an emailed statement, Microsoft’s chief legal officer Brad Smith made it clear that Microsoft was ready to spark a price war and "bring competition" to the cloud market that Salesforce dominates, customer relationship management (CRM) software. Smith said (emphasis ours) "Salesforce may not be aware, but the deal has already been cleared to close in the United States, Canada, and Brazil. We’re committed to continuing to work to bring price competition to a CRM market in which Salesforce is the dominant participant charging customers higher prices today." LinkedIn data is the lifeblood of many salespeople As we previously reported, Salesforce has been trying to convince regulators that Microsoft's purchase of LinkedIn is a bad idea.
