Salesforce offered customer relationship management software over the Internet instead of requiring customers to buy software licenses and run the systems on their own computers. At the time, traditional CRM systems often required substantial spending on hardware, installation, maintenance, and technical support. Salesforce shifted much of that responsibility to the software provider, helping popularize what became known as software-as-a-service.
