Announcement follows Salesforce being named the #1 CRM provider in Canada by Gartner
The company announced ahead of a meeting with Prime Minister Trudeau. Prime Minister Trudeau visited Salesforce for a roundtable with Salesforce Chairman and CEO Marc Benioff and other business leaders on the importance of diversity and equality, following conversations at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in 2019.
As part of this investment, Salesforce increased its headcount, real estate footprint and data center capacity to support its rapidly-growing customer base in the country.
“Canada is one of the most exciting investment opportunities for Salesforce and we are thrilled we committed $2B over five years that fueled growth,” said Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO, Salesforce. “As the world’s fastest growing top 5 software company, we look forward to a great partnership and to expanding our employees, customers and innovation in Canada.”
Salesforce is the #1 CRM provider in Canada, with more than 1,300 local employees. The company is also the fastest growing among the three largest enterprise software vendors in the region according to Gartner Inc.’s latest worldwide All Software Markets market share report, based on 2016 total software revenue.
