"The customization features in salesforce.com Winter '04 have allowed us to scale effectively and efficiently as our business has grown."

In addition to reducing email support traffic by 90 percent, Postini is using the customer service portal to increase the number of cases solved per representative, while simultaneously handling ten times the number of customers.
