It is now reported that Salesforce made an offer to acquire Zoho before turning to Google.

According to Sridhar Vembu of Zoho, Salesforce.com founder Marc Benioff tried to acquire their company.

“He offered repeatedly to acquire Zoho outright, which we rejected”, quotes Vembu. We know that that deal didn’t happen and Salesforce went to the big guns.
