		<description><![CDATA[On my calendar, Friday, August 27, 2010 has had a special inscription on it for the past year and a half. It&#8217;s a date that could change the world I work in. It could be the day by which Software as a Service (SaaS) all out collapses and Salesforce.com, it&#8217;s poster-child, goes under. Well, that could be the case if the words of Harry Debes, the CEO of Lawson Software were to come true in the next 212 days.

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Eric for pointing out to me that yesterday, July 26, 2007&#160;was the day Salesforce crossed the 100 million transaction mark in a single day.&#160; That&#8217;s a pretty significant number and it will soon be the norm for a weekday total.&#160; It looks as though transaction performance isn&#8217;t hurting because of it either.&#160; Quick Math:&#160; 100,072,460 transactions&#160;per day&#160;= 115.82 every second On May 14, I originally predicted it would happen August 29.&#160; Spikes in transactions led me to modify &#8230; <a href="http://crmfyi.com/july-26-2007-the-day-salesforcecom-hits-100-million-daily-transactions/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in May, I began keeping track of the daily transactions Salesforce.com is handling.&#160; I was curious to see when the next big threshold would be met&#8230;100,000,000 transactions per day.&#160; I predicted it would be at the end of August.&#160; After looking at more data, I&#8217;m revising my prediction. Salesforce.com has been serving up 25% more daily transactions every&#160;twenty weeks.&#160; At that rate, they&#8217;re headed to the 100 Mil mark&#160;by the end of&#160;June.&#160; Given the trends, June 26 comes to &#8230; <a href="http://crmfyi.com/modified-prognosticationor-wow-how-wrong-was-i/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any thoughts on when Salesforce will cross the 100 mil transactions per day mark?&#160; May 8 broke the 90 mil mark, so the next milestone must be 100 mil.&#160; My own personal prediction is August 29, 2007.&#160; My reason for choosing then is that you&#8217;re nearing month end, mid week, having taken on one more quarter&#8217;s worth of customers, and last but not least, Marc Benioff will have just over two weeks to &#8230; <a href="http://crmfyi.com/100000000-transaction-mark-any-predictions/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>
