  1. IF Salesforce really wants to save money, they should close all operations in San Francisco and move its entire operations to Indy. Its cheaper to do business here than there and that would save a lot of cost im sure.

    1. Cool idea and it would be great for Indy but that’s never going to happen.

    2. It’d be nice for Indy, but Salesforce’s real estate holdings is a very small fraction of their balance sheet.

  2. Remember when Salesforce was SO gung-ho on making Indy its 2nd major global location, after they purchased a high-flying local company? They were even going to build a new high-rise for a regional headquarters. Well, indy got taken, yet again. Just like with Infosys. When will Indy learn lessons from these business deals that have the bottoms fall out? Maybe Indy should focus on just building great local companies and grow them to the point where THEY are able to swallow smaller companies. Lilly, by the way, seems to have a great future. I hope they use their clout to spin off more successful biopharmaceutical companies and keep Indy strong, prosperous and vital for the duration.

    1. I wouldn’t say we got taken. This region has benefitted greatly from Salesforce presence, it’s buyout, and it’s growth..not to mention that community investment and general excitement they provided to the Indy tech sector. I’d say we were far from taken since this region has benefitted from their location and employees here.
