Salesforce wanted Microsoft to buy them for 70 billion dollars!

Why would revenues begin to decline?

Cause the company has peaked, and everyone is starting to move away to other services. Also Microsoft already has CRM and cloud products, so I don't know why they bothered.

to have a Monopoly in that field and be able to leverage whatever prices/products they want. when you have big direct competitors you have to cut margins and prices to 'get ahead' of the competition. obviously outright purchasing your rivals in certain fields will eliminate the competition but is always a big question mark on whether or not capitalizing on that market will ends up being worth it

frankly 70b seems nuts to me but, again, Microsoft wasn't likely interested in Salesforce for their business model but just to eliminate them and become dominant in the cloud computing market
