Amid all the talk on #Salesforce 's first quarter earnings call Thursday about huge sales deals with "iconic" customers like fashion design firms Diane Von Furstenburg and Ralph Lauren, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff—once again—touted his devotion to #AmazonWebServices . In response to a question about a year-old partnership between the two companies, Benioff replied: "At #Salesforce, we really strongly believe that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and I think that makes Amazon Web Services our best friend." Related: #Salesforce and #Amazon Get Chummy As to who those enemies are, Benioff did not specify at that moment. But at other points on the call, there were cracks about #Microsoft (MSFT, -0.03%), #SAP (SAP, +1.11%), and #Oracle (ORCL, +0.20%)—a huge competitor and partner to Salesforce, which runs much of its business on Oracle databases. Salesforce competes with all of those companies to sell sales and marketing software to businesses.
