| 1. Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Salesforce.com, inc. (the Company) provides a comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) service to businesses of all sizes and industries worldwide and provides a technology platform for customers and developers to build and run applications. The Company offers its services on a subscription basis. Fiscal Year The Companys fiscal year ends on January31. References to fiscal 2010, for example, refer to the fiscal year ending January31, 2010. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October31, 2009 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended October31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of January31, 2009 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements which are included in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January31, 2009, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March9, 2009. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Companys fiscal 2009 Form10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Companys management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-K, except as described below, and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys statement of financial position as of October31, 2009, and its results of operations and its cash flows for the three and nine months ended October31, 2009 and 2008. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three and nine months ended October31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending January31, 2010. Effective February1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No.51 (SFAS 160) now codified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810, Consolidation (ASC 810). ASC 810 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No.51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for any noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary). ASC 810 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements and requires disclosure, on the face of the c |

| 3. Stockholders' Equity | 3. Stockholders Equity Stock Options Issued to Employees The 1999 Stock Option Plan (the 1999 Plan) provides for the issuance of incentive and non-statutory options to employees and nonemployees of the Company. On April30, 2009, the 1999 Plan expired. Therefore, all remaining shares available expired. The expiration of the 1999 Plan did not affect awards outstanding under the 1999 Plan, which continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the 1999 Plan. The Company also maintains the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the 2004 Outside Directors Stock Plan. These plans, other than the 1999 Plan and the 2004 Outside Directors Stock Plan, provide for annual automatic increases on February1 to the shares reserved for issuance based on the lesser of (i)a specific percentage of the total number of shares outstanding at year end; (ii)a fixed number of shares; or (iii)a lesser number of shares set by the Companys Board of Directors, all as specified in the respective plans. On February1, 2009, 3.5million additional shares were reserved under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to the automatic increase. The 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan will not be implemented unless and until the Companys Board of Directors authorizes the commencement of one or more offerings under the plan. No offering periods have been authorized to date. In April 2006, the Companys Board of Directors approved the 2006 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the Inducement Plan) that allows for stock option and other equity incentive grants to employees in connection with merger or acquisition activity. In March 2009, the Board of Directors amended the Inducement Plan to increase the share reserve by 300,000 shares to 700,000 shares in total. As of October31, 2009, there were 428,555 shares of common stock available for grant under the Inducement Plan. Prior to February1, 2006, options issued under the Companys stock option plans were generally for periods not to exceed 10 years and were issued at fair value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant as determined by the trading price of such stock on the New York Stock Exchange. After February1, 2006, options issued to employees are for periods not to exceed 5 years. Grants made pursuant to the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and the Inducement Plan do not provide for the immediate exercise of options. Stock plan activity for the nine months ended October31, 2009 is as follows: Options Outstanding Shares Available for Grant Outstanding Stock Options Weighted- Average ExercisePrice Aggregate IntrinsicValue (in thousands) Balance as of January31, 2009 4,191,642 14,917,520 $ 32.51 Increase in options authorized: 2004 Equity Incentive Plan 3,500,000 Inducement Plan 300,000 Options granted under all plans (705,655 ) 705,655 47.11 Restricted stock unit activity (33,308 ) Stock grants to board members for board services and advisory board members (37,650 ) Exercised (1,504,904 ) |

| 5. Legal Proceedings and Claims | 5. Legal Proceedings and Claims The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and receives claims from time to time, arising from the normal course of business activities. In the Companys opinion, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or its financial position. During fiscal 2009, the Company received a notice from a company alleging that the Company was infringing upon certain of that companys patents. No litigation has been filed to date. The Company continues to analyze the potential merits of the other companys claims, the potential defenses to such claims and potential counter claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend its interests in this matter and is uncertain as to when this matter will be resolved. In the Companys opinion, the resolution of this dispute is not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, but it could be material to the net income or cash flows of a particular quarter. This claim, or any claim of infringement or violation of intellectual property rights, with or without merit, could require the Company to change its technology, change its business practices, pay damages, enter into a licensing arrangement or take other actions that may result in additional costs or other actions that are detrimental to its business. |

| 6. Related-Party Transactions | 6. Related-Party Transactions In January 1999, the salesforce.com/foundation, commonly referred to as the Foundation, a non-profit public charity, was chartered to build philanthropic programs that are focused on youth and technology. The Companys chairman is the chairman of the Foundation. He, one of the Companys officers and one of the Companys board members hold three of the Foundations seven board seats. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the Foundations activities, and accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the Foundations statement of activities with its financial results. Since the Foundations inception, the Company has provided at no charge certain resources to Foundation employees such as office space. The value of these items totals approximately $35,000 per quarter. In addition to the resource sharing with the Foundation, the Company issued the Foundation warrants in August 2002 to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock. The Foundation has exercised all of these warrants. As of October31, 2009, the Foundation held 148,500 shares of salesforce.com common stock. Additionally, the Company has donated subscriptions to the Companys service to other qualified non-profit organizations. The Company plans to continue providing free subscriptions to qualified non-profit organizations through its relationship with the Foundation. |
